29-May-05Every year the organizers stress about the quality of GUADEC, and every year they pull it out of the fire :) Looks like we’ll have another great get-together this year; so far I haven’t made it back to my room before midnight either night despite the really terrible heat. (I walked around Berlin in the [...]

23-May-05Got a docbookized ‘why gnome’ into CVS last night, and did a lot of play with yelp-as-docbook-viewer. Pretty slick- thanks for everything, Shaun. Hopefully more docbook to come, too. Brace yourself, translation teams :) Also quintupled the number of open sabayon bugs. In the mean time Marcus is doing real work- we’re up to six [...]

22-May-05Got the Greek liveCD up on torrent.gnome.org, and looking through my email backlog, made some connections that will hopefully result in more languages soon. Also, Seth rightly pointed out that the page said ‘hosted by Red Hat’, which was, uh… not right. :)
While browsing the flickr feeds I mentioned in my last post, found the [...]

22-May-05Marcus Bauer has been kicking a ton of ass on the liveCD stuff, making them available in French, German, and Spanish, and offering them in other languages as well. We didn’t really have a way to distribute them, but Seth Vidal came to the rescue, and we are now the proud ownersish of torrent.gnome.org.
So, [...]

20-May-05Things I saw today that blew my mind:
I read enough of the Poignant Guide to Ruby that (a) I want to learn ruby and (b) I am desperately waiting for Robert Love’s Poignant Guide to Kernel Hacking, and/or Robert Love’s Poignant Guide to Macroeconomics.
GNOME 2.8. On HURD.
Paul Kedrosky’s blog, which totally blew up my morning, [...]

18-May-05In the ‘things I should be putting off until after my paper is done’ category, I played with sabayon and the liveCD today. I’ve had a mention of sabayon on the liveCD HOWTO for a while, since it seemed like an obvious choice to create/manage the CD, but since it hadn’t been packaged until recently, [...]

18-May-05Twice today I had to explain why I am so passionate about what I do, seemed worth writing up again, and figuring out where we are. In a nutshell, I don’t think that Free Software is a positive moral right (i.e., one that must be provided), but I do think that the ability to own, [...]

17-May-05I’ve been increasingly fascinated with the notion of greasemonkey (sadly firefox only right now :/ and bookmarklets- of (like wiki) making the web more interactive and less one-way. Coolest example of the day is the tip bookmarklet (by way of Cefn Hoile), which lets you email a digital tip to any email address in a [...]
