The prize, a ginyoowine glass boot (actual height ~6.5?, and freshly sanitized, since I’m not sure how they were packed on their way to Nashville) goes to Dave Malcolm for getting the correct message posted first. Wow, the most non-spam comments ever for a blog entry! (Sad, I know.) Honorary …
In answer to Dave’s “stop the madness” comment — agreed. To wit: If y1u a1e t1e f3t p4n w1o c1n g3s t2s e4e m5e c7y, a1d p2t t1e a4r as a c5t in my b2g, I w2l s2d y1u a g3s b2t f2m t1e S4t.
Once again you can find examples of my half-baked authorial hackery in the Red Hat Magazine. I reported on the goings on at the Red Hat Summit in Nashville, mostly from a Fedora perspective. Hope you enjoy it! I’m leaving this off the FedoraPeople feed since, y’know, ego isn’t everything.
Especially if said pimp’s modus operandi includes copious amounts of taffy. Yes, I got my permanent crown put in today, and boy is it shiny!. Thankfully it’s a back molar, so it won’t show much, but I’m using my new mouth bling as an excuse to smack Eleya on the …
For instance, when it doesn’t allow feedback as advertised, I suppose. Sorry about the errors many of you have been experiencing while trying to leave me comments and such. I believe my server at home has experienced a cardiac arrest (a/k/a disk crash). A fellow Fedora guy confirmed my suspicion …
Well, not by themselves. It takes the work of people like the amazing (and dedicated!) Tim Kiernan to make them happen. Tim (and, I believe, a couple additional camerapeople-slash-crew) put together an energizing, funny, and surprisingly moving video which played at the end of the closing keynote. This guy obviously …
(Or, the Sequel No One Wanted Anyone Else to Make.) A major difference between this semester’s class and last semester’s class is that now the red squigglies take on a life of their own. Not only do we notice them, they pulse, swirl, and do little June Taylor dance routines …
In case there was a doubt, here’s further evidence of the big loser I am: This morning I wake up to a server 600 miles away at home that suddenly won’t let me SSH in. The web server is — obviously — still up. (Of course I don’t auto-update — …
OK, not really. But maybe a tornado of information about the state and future of a lot of Red Hat initiatives, including Fedora. Max has already blogged about the afternoon’s Fedora BoF, after which Chris Blizzard gave a great presentation about OLPC. It was fascinating to hear about the myriad …
We had a wonderful and stress-free drive from Knoxville today, but before we got on I-40, we took a side trip to Oak Ridge and the Children’s Museum, which is a converted elementary school chock full of hands-on exhibits and activities for young people. The kids had fun learning about …
