Ruthless email triage frees the mind and the schedule, not to mention exorcises violent demons of the spirit. Replacing the hard drive in an iPod with flash media is the best way to test nerves of steel, next to the “Operation” game. Or actual surgery for that matter, only not …
The obvious. Obviously many of you know now how I spent my last week, since it wasn’t blogging. ? It’s been said many times already, and can’t be overstated, that our Fedora Infrastructure team has proved their mettle by basically razing and rebuilding the skeleton of our project over the …
Now it’s finally official: a Fedora Scholarship. A while back, we started talking about ways to identify and cultivate young contributors to Fedora. We are starting to see more and more young people taking the opportunity to be full participants in the open source world. As part of our mission …
Last week my daughter, who’s seven, went for a regular eye check up. As a result, yesterday we went to order her first pair of prescription eyeglasses. Two, actually — we assume she’ll lose one, since she doesn’t have to wear them for reading. The optometrist told my wife, “Oh, …

Someone just passed along this link to a decision in the Jacobsen v. Katzer case. I haven’t had time to read the whole thing yet, but the Court of Appeals vacated and remanded the case, meaning they found the District Court of N. California erred in declaring the Artistic License …
Spent all day at a conference at my old office — an outreach of sorts from Red Hat to do a technology briefing and information exchange. Best not to dwell on that right now, except to say that I came home an hour before dinner, caught up with John Poelstra …
