Title says it all. I love smoking, but it's not good for me. I have to start hating it. At any rate, I feel like a sh*t because my daughter thinks I don't smoke and the other day she said "well, my daddy doesn't smoke" to her aunt who …

Well, last night I got my druid to level 55. This is a pretty amazing feat for me considering how little time I spend playing WoW these days. But I'm all psyched for the expansion, so I'm sure I'll go overboard on it for the next week or two and …

I love hearing about the iPhone. I've seen pictures. It's pretty slick. Looks really nice. Now throw Palm OS on there and then we're talking. Sorry, but I've already got an ipod (well, two actually... no... three including the wife's shuffle), so I really don't need another one. The touchscreen …

Having some issues with screen. I've been running mutt under screen for a few weeks now (and irssi) which has been working fine but it wasn't until today that I put two and two together, namely that when I cut-n-paste from a terminal with mutt in it, I was getting …

I understand I volunteered for the job (it's a dirty job and I think very few people would want to do it) but boy am I glad it's done. I've just spent nearly two weeks converting content from the Mandriva development wiki (http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main …

Well, I've decided that since it's been over a month now and no one has decided yet on what software to use (apparently there's one hold-out for xwiki while everyone else wants mediawiki... hello... VETO!), I've decided to make it monumentally in mediawiki's favor by cramming so much bloody content …

I've been doing a lot of my web development lately on my macbook pro, but the problem is that I do the work locally, then have to rsync it to my Linux-based server to see the results. Not a huge deal, but a PITA. So I decided I was going …

Well, I've had it. Spam is driving me nuts. My spamassassin/RBL lists/etc. setup was working really well for a long time but now more and more spam is getting through and it's nothing if not pissing me off. Strange thing is, I get a lot more spam on …

Sigh. I love it when things get thrown out of context and misinformation abounds. I've gotten used to this with proprietary vendors and ignorant news sources, but to get this within the open source community? And from a web site that is supposed to be pro-OSS? Come on.

Yes, this …

Well, wow, if I didn't expect to get the "anti-Mandriva" coverage based on a previous post. So, as a result, I determined to get the ATI drivers working. The big difference here is that this time I'm using the 32bit Mandriva rather than 64bit; no idea if that's making a …
