It’s depressing, but the closest thing to a news show in this country that will do Murrow-like calling of a political spade a spade these days is The Daily Show. The other options either regurgitate both side’s spins (calling that ‘balance’) or regurgitates one side’s spin (also, oddly, calling that ‘fair and balanced’). No wonder [...]

12-Mar-04Finally fixed gnome-blog to work again (it had been sort of hosed by me arrogantly trying to build it myself.) Dave is constantly reminding me that it is silly to build things myself, exactly because of problems like this. It does mostly work, but he is right- if we had regular snapshots again that would [...]

11-Mar-04Shortly after posting this morning, found out about Madrid. I’ve been through Atocha… really, just a terrible thing. I think most Americans probably have a very good feeling for what most Spaniards are going through right now, and it is not a good one. I hope everyone in the Spanish GNOME community is OK and [...]

11-Mar-04Was up late last night, sitting in a conference room with Dave and writing a doc for the board. It was awesome. I mean, I’m totally useless right now, and I forgot to mail out a bugday announce, but… it felt good to just burn all the way and end the day on ‘hell yeah, [...]

10-Mar-04Decently productive day; wrote some project planning docs and did some poking at the gnome in the forthcoming suse 9.1, which we’re helping to spruce up. Hopefully we’ll get a few more cleanups in before it goes gold.
Got a Replay, finally, and set it up. Pretty nice, I think it’ll turn out to be a [...]

09-Mar-04I had three meetings scheduled at 4:00pm today. I’m pretty sure that (no matter what Dave says) I don’t like attending this many meetings.
If anything, Edd understates what is coming from iFolder. iFolder (to be pronounced ‘Simias’ in free software form) is one of those things where the adjective that immediately springs to mind is [...]

07-Mar-04I absolutely love sound-juicer, but the music DB behind it (or the implementation of the music-ID-ing algorithm) blows. Today has been a game of ‘how many multi-platinum albums are not in musicbrainz’. So far, I’m at Nevermind, Ten, ‘Songs You Know by Heart’, and Dark Side of the Moon. Oh well ;)

07-Mar-04GTH,C, GTH.
Spent a frustrating part of a day trying to get jabberd running, in my on-and-off-again quest to find a really easy to use web-based chat solution for DBR.jwchat is probably the sweetest web-based chat client I’ve ever seen, and it is open, which rules, but setting up jabberd is like pulling teeth so far- [...]

04-Mar-04Another pretty solid bug day. Found some more nasty 2.6.0-ish bugs, and have sent out another email about it. My last email got more than 1/2 of them fixed, so that was pretty good- I think we still have time to make this a pretty solid release. Everyone go kill a bug now.
I was a [...]

02-Mar-04I want to bear Richard’s children. I know it’s krackful, but for some bizarre reason (maybe I was dropped on the head as a child) I’ve always loved the fuzzy clock in KDE. It’s the only KDE feature I’ve seen I actually want.
Have felt sort of like ass all day, went home early. Still had [...]
