Went to see Marcel Marceau tonight with Krissa. It was pretty cool. He did his famous ‘Mask Maker’ piece, which is just incredible- the facial control is awesome to watch. Dave, he was even in a boxcage at one point. :) There was some pretty abstract stuff (’The Hands’ and ‘Creation of the Earth’) mixed [...]
I can’t believe I didn’t blog this proof earlier, but with Jeanne coming, it seems topical again.
Had a nice talk with Joe and Robert after work today; always nice to ramble with cool, smart folks about stuff that isn’t work related but still decently meaty. Watched ‘Galaxy Quest’ after dinner with Krissa; was amusing if overly cheesy. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on my dad’s big screen late saturday, I think.
I’m getting [...]
The problem with a clueless tool like me running a pseudo-tinderbox is that I often have no idea why the build fails, if it fails. pango and shared-mime-info build fine on my home box (suse 9.1, basically) and even built earlier in the day on the build box I’m using. Now neither build in another [...]
In a sudden fit of micro-usefulness, I’ve written about 10 lines of shell and put up a micro-tinderbox here. I had it doing a complete build (sans mozilla and gnomemeeting) earlier in the day, but somehow seem to have botched that, not sure how yet, and frankly don’t care all that much ATM :) I’ll [...]
Someone in IRC was complaining that they’d found a RH bug that had been open a year without being resolved. I told them this wasn’t a big deal, and pointed to 50595, which was resolved in the 2.8 release. Looking that up made me curious what the oldest bug to be resolved during the 2.8 [...]
While Jeff is busy going off the deep end ;), his SO is out making some PR waves with a vigorous defense of linux.au in the face of the MPAA. Good for her. I’d love for GNOME to make some headlines like that, on issues either political or technological.
Am spending the rest of the evening [...]
Fall is coming. It is probably the best time of year here, what with crisp air, hot chocolate, and leaves, and cuddling, and flannels over t-shirts, but it does sort of point to winter next. Ah well.
After my last post, it was pointed out to me that I had this picture laying around that I’d not blogged previously. To clarify: this is Dave getting his Davey Bear on his Davey Birthday. It was very cute, and he loved it immensely.
Am reminded by these posts that tieguy.org is something that couldn’t happen without a pair of good friends. Thanks, guys.
Good weekend so far. Am reading Red Mars, which is pretty good, though perhaps paints people in slightly too Machiavellian a light. Still, engaging enough that I actually dreamed I was on mars last night.
Finally [...]
