Sometimes in IRC /ignore just isn't enough. Sometimes you just don't want any part of a conversation. That's where I found myself today. The guys were teaching the bot new stuff but I just didn't want to keep up with it. So that got me thinking about writing a plugin ...

I just thought of a new feature I'd like to see in gnome blog. Auto saving and restoring of the blog post title and message. I had a partial message written then logged out of X to lose it. Doh.
Wow, what a great weekend. We truly are fortunate.

ESR wrote a great piece about trying to get his printer shared across his network using Fedora and CUPS. Such an article from anybody else and it would have been quickly discarded. But he's different, he's an Open Source advocate and a hacker, if you will. Somebody I'll rant enough ...

I think proprietary software companies lose sight that when customers purchase software the role of the application is to work for the customer. Purchased software should not try to fight or control the user.
Ed called last night. He bought a piece of software for close to $200. Since his ...

I've got a gripe with ESPN. We were watching the ACC Tournament Championship game between Duke and Maryland. Just as the game goes to OT ESPN sends Texas and Oklahoma viewers to the UT vs. OSU game. Ugh. What's more important, overtime to decide the championship of the best conference ...

After staring at the old, crappy site I decided to junk PostNuke and install Movable Type. Keeping this up to date with PostNuke was just a pain. It was all just overkill. Besides, Gnome Blog rocks.
Welp, on my way to a LUG meeting. Hopefully it will ...
