I find it amusing that so many people "new" to Linux and other open source programs think we're all a bunch of arrogant, caffeine-strung, egomaniacs. I've been lightly reading (and laughing about) a thread on the exim mailing list entitled "Why is this list so abusive?" because some people are …

Legacies are a good thing. Everyone wants to leave a legacy... in the most basic form it's being a parent to a child who will carry on a physical legacy. Almost everyone has a legacy, will have a legacy, or is someone else's legacy. There are, of course, other folks …

Good God... I've just deleted nearly 70 spam comments originating in the last 2 weeks. This is retarded.

Makes me almost want to disable comments altogether, although, fortunately, I have it set that every single comment requires moderation. But still... what a flippin' waste of time.

Assholes of the world …

Well, the one thing I love about being an independant consultant is that I get to do lots of different things, not just work on Mandriva stuff. One of the things I hate doing is Windows maintenance and it seems like there is a lot of that going around. Inevitably …

Well, like pretty much everyone, I was pretty pleased to see BootCamp released by Apple; a tool that allows one to dual-boot an intel mac. Not good enough for me, but a good first step. I've been waiting for VMWare to step up to the plate and offer a Mac …

Just a heads up in case you wonder why a) a category was removed …

I've been reading one of the most useless threads on Cooker (the mailing list) I've seen yet. Entitled "CasElOVeRs" it's a... errr... "discussion" regarding the changing of all package names to lowercase for package names. And judging by the size of this thread, everyone has an opinion.

My only question …

I've been embarking on a bit of a project since Jan when someone from Groklaw was asking about what vulns we released last year affected a certain distribution and the only way I could get her that info was by doing some convoluted grepping and re-formatting... it wasn't pretty, but …

Found this fantastic article about how to setup Subversion, MediaWiki, and Bugzilla to be nicely integrated. The article is really well done, and I've adapted most of it to the Annvix wiki and bugzilla, but the subversion integration will be a little problematic (or at least not as full as …

I think if the Egyptians had a plague of snow first instead of water turning into blood, those Israelites would have been let go right away.

We've had about two feet of snow since midnight last night (might have been later but that's when I went to bed and there …
