Everything else
I can’t believe a week without a decent blog entry. I am so sorry, my sweet Intartubez. Never again with the forsaking, I swear it! Now that I have been firmly ensconced back in my lair for half a fortnight, let me catch you up on my life, here and …
(Only by happenstance is the title seemingly connected to this entry.) I know that earlier Luca Foppiano pointed out this story posted on Mark Shuttleworth’s blog. I’m glad to see that Mark is taking seriously the need for any serious Linux distribution — and certainly any that has one eye …
I have about a dozen things I need to blog about, but with time right now for only a short blurb, I wanted to point out that I’ll be delivering a keynote session at the Utah Open Source Conference 2008, coming in August to Salt Lake City. I put in …
What the realtors call “foot traffic” — visitors to our house, presumably with purchasing intent — has picked up significantly in the past few weeks. In the last two weeks, we’ve had about a half-dozen visits. The feedback from the agents, where they tell you everything about your house that …

The router seems to be offering DHCP addresses on the WLAN, but neither my laptop nor any other box …
Most enjoyable movie night in a long while tonight, watching Stardust with Supawife. Romance, action, magic, drama, and comedy, with the extra one-two punch of Michelle Pfeiffer looking her best (and worst), and DeNiro doing La Cage. In all honesty, I haven’t seen something quite like this since I saw …
Things looking generally up today. For whatever reason, my new WRT54GL is now working fine. Dinner plans with friends fell through, so as nice as that would have been, I now have some extra hours for some bits and pieces I needed to work on. Also, turns out this crazy …
A banner day thus far — only wasted two hours this morning getting my wireless setup back to something resembling “working.” Last night I tried replacing my old D-Link AP with a new WRT54GL, in the hopes that I could later flash that unit to something from OpenWrt or DD-WRT. …
This is why, no matter how much a bunch of geeks might want to see a naked mockup of Angelina Jolie, Beowulf is just… wrong.
