Couple other things I was reminded of last night (as I continue to try to purge :):
The Evolution 1.0 cheerleading and testimonials.
Not attending the Not A Gay Sex Party.
The last night of GUADEC in Sevilla, and missing the plane with Dave the next morning, and the cathedral with the artists/photographers the next morning.
Somebody told me [...]
Finally (thanks to large gift certificate to Amazon) got a WAP that lets me effectively ban my neighbors from my network without excluding first-time visitors cleanly. Have so far put four neighbors on the banlist. My effective bandwidth is up significantly. Yay. (Pleasant side effect is that I discovered my laptop has working 802.11 g.)
I [...]
All of my adult working life, up until yesterday, was spent as a monkey, and nearly 50% of what I’d consider my total adult life as well. So… I’ll always be a monkey, at some level, regardless of the letter I sent yesterday[1].
Can’t speak to the Novell ID.
Some of the things I’ll remember, in roughly [...]
I packed up most of my desk today, bringing home my treasured IBM T-ad penguin, the gift I was given during Diwali by the Novell Bangalore team, my brand-new signed Kernel Love (I’m in the acknowledgements! woohoo!) and other assorted bits of stuff. Intellectually, I know this is the right thing for me, but emotionally, [...]
Spent most of yesterday tracking down bugs, and posted to d-d-l about it. Bottom line- we let quite a few stability issues slip in to 2.6 and 2.8, and I think we should get them out for 2.10. The list of 2.10 showstoppers, then, has grown to 22, and more will come. I hope everyone [...]
This newsforge article pointed me at skippy. Fun toy. Does seem to somehow break my panel, but creates cool screenshots :)
I am of the shiny things generation.
Either composite or skippy is damn slow, unfortunately, else this would probably replace alt-tab for me now.
Got hit (starting friday night) with a nasty cold. Have discovered why people used to love silk hankies, since we ran out of kleenex and didn’t really feel like walking out in the storm to get more. Still loading myself with drugs and vitamin C and krissa-produced goodness, like lentil stew and warming, beautiful toast.
Was [...]
Final blizzard totals for most of eastern Massachusetts will range between 28 and 38 inches setting a new single storm record for Boston… surpassing the amount from the great blizzard of 78 and the presidents day storm of 2003.
My street this morning.
They say the storm is only a little past half done. Yay for having [...]
Assholes. Gigantic. Fucking. Assholes. I hope all spammers have a special place in hell reserved for them. In the mean time, I can’t wait until the law allows me to sue the hell out of them.
This outburst of rage brought to you by my discovery that there is now comment spam for gallery.
Sebastian Bacher has been a complete, total, utter stud lately. 181 bugs closed this week.
Also, I sat down and read the open 2.10 showstopper list. The list isn’t perfect and in some ways is slightly arbitrary but it is a good start on the ‘known most embarassing open issues.’ If you have something you’d consider [...]
