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 …
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 …
Film Eleya and I have been wanting to go see Grindhouse, but our weekends are generally getting pretty booked up at this point. So I figured, what better way could there be to get some quality time than to call up da Moms and get her to sit the kids? …
As usually happens when we near some deadline for releasables, I’ve been wielding a heavy axe in Docs CVS. I get very antsy about the state of our build tools for some reason, and start making what I hope are improvements. Made one fairly glaring mistake about dealing with XML …

Simply use gconf-editor (or hand) to edit the GConf key apps/xchat/plugins/notification/level key. I set mine to the value 3, which means any normally hilighted messages will generate a notification.
Chris, I’m torn about these ads myself. On the one hand, they don’t completely suck. Attractive female representing Linux is a nice touch. Both the script and the production values are pretty good. On the other hand, the ads contribute to the mistaken impression that there’s no innovation in FOSS. …
For anyone still wondering, here’s why holding a FUDCon during every release cycle is a good idea.
When Max writes about metrics, it’s important to remember that he’s not picking on Ubuntu.
