It’s a two-fisted love story.
Shadowman has some great things to say about Dell and Ubuntu. Read it and map this to the buzz about the online desktop.
Update from the Left Coast.
Sorry for the blog delay, things have been busy here. Please, won’t you enjoy another edition of “Boring News About Me”? K thx. On Wednesday night, I finished The Time Traveler’s Wife, which was heartbreakingly wonderful in a really loneliness-inducing kind of way. (Why yes, I am a big sap. …
Emotional journey.
OK, so the trip from Dulles to San Diego was more of a leg-cramping, neck-cricking journey, courtesy of United. But did have the following observations. An older, married couple were sitting a few rows up from me on the plane. When the wife (center seat) returned from the rear lavatory, …
You can love Mugshot, just don’t LOVE Mugshot.
Yes, I spent way too much time being distracted by Mugshot. Probably just itchy to get on a plane to the Left Coast. If you’re going to the Summit I’ll probably run into you there!
Weekend prep.
Thursday night: Brought Honda to service station in full realization that 120K service tabs are hell. Hell. At least they gave me an estimate beforehand. Caught up on some email.

Unless by “good” you mean “mercilessly coldhearted.”
So, iwlwifi is being not berry berry good to me on my ThinkPad T60p. Add to this the yuckiness that kills the kernel if I tax the wired e1000 adapter, and voila! A recipe for me having to avoid running Rawhide for testing. I don’t have a surplus of machines …
‘Fessing up and throwing down.
Last night I was supposed to be at rehearsal with Leah. Did you catch the word “supposed”? That’s good, it’s important, since I never actually showed up. Yes, for the first time in — maybe thirteen years? — I missed a band rehearsal, this time for no other reason than …
