Last night I resurrected Krissa’s web site at krissa.org; the site had been AWOL since krissa.net (don’t go there!) was allowed to lapse and bought by a porn network. She hasn’t actually updated any content since then, but hey, at least she can now start the long climb back up the google index, and hopefully [...]
Just used Cowbell to fix some slightly awkward tags of mine (a CD marked ‘Doors’ instead of ‘The Doors’, to be specific.) Hadn’t used it in ages, probably nearly a year, at which point it still needed love but showed promise. It is now very, very nice stuff- Simply Worked, and when combined with the [...]
Last month a couple of my blog posts were mysteriously eaten by some weak link in the chain of blog software. One of those posts contained the Shocking Revelation that Yours Truly had been accepted to the Lego Mindstorms Developer Program. Of course, I’m under NDA, so I can’t really blog anything until $MAGICAL_DATE. But [...]
I’m moderating a panel at the Law School’s Journal of Law and Technology Annual Symposium on Thursday; it’ll be the first time I ever moderate a panel. Good timing for Guy Kawasaki to post How To Be A Great Moderator, then.
Was going through some old tomboy notes today, and realized that I’d written a couple blog posts that never got posted. Given the choice between deleting them, and posting them badly out of date and out of order, I’ve chosen the latter. Sadly, they were intended to have picture links, but my gallery is busted [...]
Couple other things trac needs: bug dependency handling (i.e., bug X blocks bug Y), more powerful querying, and dup handling that actually does dups. I was about to say ‘it isn’t enterprise ready‘, but I’ll hold off on that ;)
I’ve spent part of the morning playing with Trac. I have to say I’m pretty impressed. It is still not in bugzilla’s league for a beast-sized project like GNOME or mozilla, which require sophisticated user handling and cross-project interaction, but for my personal projects, and possibly for small projects at work, so far Trac seems [...]
Congrats to my old team on another cool-looking release. I am a little surprised to see it referred to as SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, not NLD, but you can’t win every battle. :) Look forward to playing with it whenever it is released.
Some time in the future we’ll all be using software improved by the techniques outlined in Ben Liblit’s dissertation, which he has been using to play with various pieces of the GNOME stack for a couple years now. In the meantime, he’ll have to settle for the old-fashioned sort of fame. Congrats, Ben. Remember the [...]
Couple other personal notes from Miami:
I told someone a few months ago that I liked the brash wealth of Miami. That sounded wrong, because it came out like an endorsement of the ridiculous gluttony that is Miami- ferraris, huge boats, extravagant parties, etc. When I was home this weekend, I realized that the adjective I [...]
