The battle for free time.
I see that Karsten also has succumbed to the temptation of a popular new multiplayer stragtegy game in Linux, Battle for Wesnoth. I can feel the remainder of my meager spare time leeching away already. Must… resist…

Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
Buried alive.
It’s been a very hectic week between work, finishing preparations for a teaching gig in D.C. last week, and trying to complete rough mixes for the band’s preproduction demo that wouldn’t embarrass me in front of our producer. Thankfully, I got to see a lot of the kids this weekend …

Seth, you’re doing an AMAZING job. It’s people like you that keep Fedora moving forward by leaps and bounds.
Practicing what I preach.

Even a broken clock.
Even if you’re a righty like me, you can respect something the EU has done recently. Update: It’s final.
The past has fleet feet.
And in an age where computers roam the Internet automtically archiving your thoughts, and invariably it becomes easier to authenticate them, be careful what you post.
Money for nothing and your bugs for free.
This story is a very interesting read on the money trail between Microsoft, the softening of the antitrust judgments against the company, and the growth of the anti-Linux lobbying push. As if it weren’t enough that their software is the proximate cause of the majority of aggregate IT downtime globally. …
