12-May-04Read a lot more ximian bugs yesterday.
Started a suse 9.1 install on my new Dell. Didn’t detect the monitor’s refresh rate/resolution correctly, and I didn’t have time to screw with it, so it is still uninstalled. Box is slightly louder than I would have wanted but still pretty nice.
Went to the pops last night with [...]

11-May-04Whiprush of ars fame has a great rebuttal to Nicholas Petreley’s trash. I added my own comment on his blog about something I think he missed, and which is probably Petreley’s single biggest screwup- the misconception that Free Software must have lots of options because Free Software is about choice. Sure, Free Software is about [...]

10-May-04Read about 175 open b.x.c bugs. Was able to clear a lot of them out. More tomorrow when I actually start using/abusing the ’should go upstream’ keyword.

09-May-04Good weekend.
Spent most of the weekend at my grandparent’s new place. They had lived in the same house for about 40 years, but they are in their late 80s with all that entails. So they recently moved into a large ‘aging’ complex near their old house. I was sort of worried about it, frankly a [...]

07-May-04Rich Burridge had a brief piece on the importance of extensibility today. It brought to mind this paper, titled ‘Toolkits for User Innovation’ by some folks at MIT’s Business School who believe that the best way to serve your customers in virtually any field is to make things extensible. Interesting paper for those who have [...]

06-May-04dwmw2: I’d hope if you have deep understanding, and you’re frustrated, you say it and say it loudly. Of course, I’m currently in the process of chickening out when faced with the same problem, so perhaps my bold advice should be taken with a grain of salt. ;)

04-May-04dwmw2: I grossly oversimplified my post for the purposes of getting it up and going to sleep. I should have said ’something the size and scope of Debian’ instead of just Debian- my intent was to emphasize that ‘the fedora problem’ is capital-H Hard, and no one should say ‘RH is doing it badly’ without [...]
