I opened Transmission last night before I went to bed, downloading a torrent of free music. And I didn’t for one second feel guilty, because it was Nine Inch Nails’ new CC-licensed album. I was thrilled because instrumental stuff has become my MO for background noise while I work. This …
At SCALE, Sun’s Barton George interviewed our own Tom ‘spot’ Callaway about his new-ish role as Fedora Engineering Manager. (This has been up a couple days, but I just got on top of my feeds.) The whole interview is great — go download it now, it’s available in Ogg Vorbis …
