Big post, mostly 2.10 related:
The 2.10 splash competition already has some nice entries but it would be awesome if we could get more- contest closes in a few days- gogogogo!
Bugs update, just sent to d-d-l and g-h. We’ve made awesome progress over last time- thanks to lots of people, but particularly Alex, Kjartan, and Vincent. [...]
Boycott flumotion now. It allowed Jeff to show us his ‘anchorman’, which is an assault on all that is good and decent. This cannot be permitted, or more eyes will be permanently scarred.
Nat has competition in the flash-demos-from-desktop (apparently termed ’screencasting’) area, from Jon Udell (links by way of Tim Bray):
cool, long-ish piece on wikipedia’s umlaut page
shorter demo of interfacing maps.google, javascript, and gps data
If you have 10-15 minutes today, these are very cool.
Another day and year older.
Thanks to everyone who showed up for my small birthday party at Brother Jimmy’s, where I inflicted an ugly Duke game on a lot of non-basketball people. Hopefully Krissa’s cake made up for it, though Krissa herself was sort of disappointed with it.
Had a nice flight home, all things considered- because [...]
I couldn’t say this to the unfortunate people who I dealt with this week, because I’m sure they were dealing with a lot of unhappy people this week and they weren’t at fault, but US Airways sucks and I will never, ever fly them again if I can ever avoid it. Bottom line is that [...]
Have been chilling with the ‘rents in Miami. Silly stupid gorgeous here, pics later. Went to the coconut grove arts festival today with krissa and then with my dad, after taking krissa to the airport. Definitely fun- we might try to make it back next year. Very casual, fun atmosphere- picture your local county fair, [...]
I am uploading another liveCD build; details here. Also, I leave for Miami in the morning, so if the upload gets screwed up… well, such is life, someone else can I’m sure rebuild it from the previous release ;)
FWIW, the LWE LiveCD was a success- we cleared in total a little over $200 over the [...]
I am sooo wiped today. I was supposed to go to fudcon, and I still might try to make it for the afternoon, but I’m totally wiped from LWE right now, and just laying on my couch and catching up on sleep and email seems really, really appealing. Plus I need to pack for my [...]
Very fun day at LWE today, so fun that I’m totally exhausted and this will be a quick entry. Had a great time meeting people (as usual) and seeing old friends. Moved over 60 liveCDs at a requested donation of $5 a pop, both to cover the costs of the printing of the current batch, [...]
We’ve made really awesome progress on the liveCD. As I speak, I’m uploading Yet Another Version to http://tieguy.org/misc/gnome-2.10-livecd-0.9.10.iso and http://tieguy.org/misc/gnome-2.10-livecd-0.9.10.iso.md5. If someone can download this and offer to host a torrent seed, that would be cool too- my home PC is getting rebooted too often these days to be a good seed. :/
I’ve made huge [...]
