Why is GNOME 2.6 giving people such headaches? So many people hate the spatial browser. That’s fine… to each his own. What gets me is why so many people are whining about how to change the default GNOME 2.6 behavior that’s present in Fedora Core 2. Simple. Use System Tools …
I was with some friends last night who (remaining nameless, of course) don’t share my political views. This is fine with me, and doesn’t change the fact that I love them dearly. But they are also quite a bit younger than me, and the difference between coming of age in …
My blog doesn’t really provide much in the way of trenchant political commentary. I leave that to more talented wordsmiths like my friend Chris. But I have to mention here the sadness that I feel at the death of former President Ronald Reagan. He was truly someone who lived the …
My brithday was uneventful… spent most of the day on the road with Leah & crew to play at the Frederick Arts Festival, which ended up being a bust given the nasty weather and consequent low attendance. Today she and I are doing an acoustic duo at 11:00am at the …

Likely, no. Possible? Well… maybe… We can always hope, right? I’ve been sick as a dog since Saturday. Just thinking about this, though, made my head feel a little less congested and my limbs ache a little less.
Fascinating development with Leah — she has met up with Okorie Johnson, a cellist formerly with (among others, I guess) Jennifer Daniels, and played with him last Saturday. They along with J. Tom, our guitarist opened up for The Brindley Brothers at their club Jammin’ Java in Vienna. Hopefully I’ll …
I’ve made up a few RPM packages that will help you get your Red Hat Linux 9 box subscribed to the updates already (or soon to be) available at FedoraLegacy.org. The rhnlib and rhn-applet packages are simply stock recompilations of the most updated ones available on Fedora Core 1. The …
