Now that I live in NYC (Manhattan for the curios) I live in the beginning of the timezone. And I really didn’t think about this this fact till I was here for a few weeks. See bars and other fine establishments are open here till later then in Michigan some are open till 3, 4am [...]
Linus. Norris torch has been previously down to another great warrior, Bruce Schneier. There is another hero who’s been chosen to carry on the task. Today what I seen, might be the next stage:
“When Linus code something, if it doesn’t compile without warnings, he delete the file, and start again from scratch.” — Anonymous interweb [...]
So I’ve been running gutsy on my main machine, eg. my laptop (thinkpad z61t) probably since July. In fact it’s been so long that I forgot exactly how long ago I decided to take the plunge. I always run pre-releases way before there even is an iso for it. What I do is give an [...]
A little git (or really any kind of DVCS) hummor. Taking a cue from the real world, no one ever wins a dicusion on (technical) merit but instead arguments in real life are won on emotion. Like it or not.
I’ve been an xbox 360 owner for almost a year now (minus a few days) and overall I’m happy with the console and the games on it. Over the past year, I’ve convinced a couple friends to get one, and gifted at least one 360 as a present, spend god knows much much monies on [...]
The new version of Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon) that’s scheduled to come out October 18 included drapes in the universe repository. I imagine that I’ll have more bugs in launch pad to fix when that comes out, not that it’s a bad thing, so keep on sending them.
I’m glad you asked; yes, I’ve gotten busy/lazy and I haven’t written anything here in a long time… I’ve joined Barracuda networks in May. And now that (more then) a few months have passed I figured I’d get back in the game.
As far as drapes in concerned I’m working on a new version, it will [...]
So a while ago the plan was to add load balancing support to ltsp since at the school of Engineering at Oakland we have multiple boxes that use to server out thin clients to Sunrays. The Sunrays went away due to their general crappiness, but mostly due to the crappiness of the Sunray server software. [...]
On the way to the airport and back today I’ve seen a total of 10 cops (I counted) with the radars out prying on speeding motorists. Some of them were marked some of them weren’t. Out of those 10 cops, 3 of them had some one pulled over when I passed them. I took 696 [...]
I’ve released drapes 0.5.1.
It’s mostly a bug fix release. I’ve rewritten much of the code that deals with the nity-girty of preferences, as a result it’s much more robust, cleaner and gets rid of that magically scan my root for wallpapers bug. Also the current translations have been updates and the folks doing translations in [...]
