Information overload.
Holy moley, the servers at Red Hat are overloaded this evening. Ah, I know! It must be the enormous stampede to read my new article there. Enjoy… eventually!
Touchdown.
After a 5+ hour flight, I was worn out and ragged. So I had only one thing on my mind when I rolled into the hotel — a very comfortable Residence Inn — and got my luggage put up. That’s right: sushi. There was a neat little “Umi Sushi Boat” …
NM rocks!
Linux has rapidly become as easy to use as (or easier than) any other operating system, even on laptops like my ThinkPad T43. Today my WiFi is working at the snap of my fingers while waiting at the airport gate. “Thank you” to all the NetworkManager contributors for making it …
Idle hands.
Last night we had a superb gig at Andy’s, although it was (as always) a tiring drive from the boondocks. The audience was responsive and attentive, and we got a lot of positive comments, and I think we sold plenty of copies of our new CD, which was just delivered …
Never has a remake done so much so well.
Battlestar Galactica, simply one of the best shows I’ve seen on TV, and one of the only ones I watch anymore. Clever, poignant, exciting, dramatic, intelligent, and powerful. Tonight’s episode rocked hard. Can they keep up this dizzy pace of even better shows practically every week?

NIMBY.
Yesterday, at about 3:30 in the afternoon, Eleya started hearing little pinging impact noises from the front of the house. When she opened up the curtains to see what was going on, she found that our neighbors’ teenage son and an assortment of his acquaintances were shooting a BB gun. …
The beagle has landed.
OK, I apologize for the slug line; I couldn’t help myself. Could the news on Mono in Fedora have anything to do with this? Or is it purely an act of faith and community goodwill by the Fedora Foundation, still somewhat shrouded in a fog of obscurity and uncertainty? In …
When it’s OK to be a heel.
My wife and I give to a number of charitable organizations, including many police charities that provide community support, like the Virginia State Police Association’s program that gives teddy bears to children involved in domestic abuse situations, and provides for families of officers killed or injured in the line of …
Crazy for those coca beans.
Eleya and I watched Tim Burton’s quirky but entertaining Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It’s a miracle of production and set design, visually stunning but thankfully anchored by a nearly perfect performance by Johnny Depp. We agreed that he’s one of the few actors alive with the power to make …
