It’s nice to be home (finally). After my flight Saturday morning, I sat in traffic for 2-1/2 hours on the way home. Then I dropped my stuff, hugged the wife and kids, and drove another hour down to Richmond to help some friends with their house-painting project. Lovely folks they …
Anne Margulies from MIT just gave an amazing presentation on MIT OpenCourseWare. Max Spevack is now giving our closing keynote, “State of the Fedora,” with a lot of momentum provided by Ms. Margulies. MIT’s work in opening knowledge to the global community is very inspring, and we can be proud …
Today is the Boston FUDCon and I am super-stoked about it. Last night after LinuxWorld ended most of us Fedorans went to the Boston Beer Works right next to historic Fenway Park for dinner; I had (among other things) fried pickles. Despite the vegetable in the name, not a health …
I figured, since I just got home from dinner and had a little time on my hands before I try to get some Docs work done, that I would post some abbreviated minutes from the BoF session earlier this evening for those of you who missed it. (“I wouldn’t say …
Arrived in Boston safe and sound; actually it was a very nice flight from the folks I usually call “USScare.” Now I’m heading over to the BCEC to pick up my materials, possibly make dinner plans, and head over to Jack Aboutboul’s Fedora BoF. I have no idea when Karsten’s …

Last night we had our official record release gala at IOTA and everything went swimmingly. The band even backed the completely fabulous Edie Carey for a few songs. Rich and I had wanted to do this for some time, since hearing her at a previous show, and both of us …
Just in case you hadn’t gotten one of my many spam emails, the band is having its record release party tomorrow (Sunday) night at 8:00 p.m. at the IOTA Club in Arlington. Our very special opening guest is the lovely and incredibly talented Edie Carey. If you don’t have her …
Part of the time I’ve been goofing around, but the system is back up and working nominally at this point, so I’m calling it done. There’s always little things to deal with as they come up, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Eleya’s PDA is even syncing again properly! I …
Well, the weblog is back up, so obviously things are going OK so far. MySQL 5.0 has had no hitches; I ran the recommended update commands as shown in the MySQL documentation, and all the messages looked nominal. I’m restoring user home directories right now.
