One of the simple reasons I love F/OSS so much is that - in general- It Just F***ing Works(tm). Today, for the first time in as long as I can remember using it, this has failed me quite miserably.

Part of my gift this year to all of my friends this year is an audio CD - a custom compilation of various holiday-themed music. One thing I'd love to be ( Read more... )

...You are awesome!

You made my Evolution filtering work properly again, which is a huge necessity for my being productive. You are hereby added, again, to the list of people to whom I owe both a gigantic hug and a drink of their choice, at the very least, should we ever meet in person. Thanks for making my life a little simpler and a lot more ( Read more... )

I just spent slightly over 200 USD in the online purchases of various gifts for family and friends, and in the process consumed nearly the entirety of my coffee fund for the next couple of months. Aww, well - I'm going to have a nice stash of Christmas presents for people this year, along with some home-made stuff (since I really didn't do anything ( Read more... )

It took two years of hard campaigning, lots of FUD-debunking, and countless sacrifices of time and labor, but we did it.

As many around me have probably noted, I've been extremely busy with my new job and get-togethers with friends/family over the past week or so; and I've thus not had much time recently to devote to Fedora hacking. There have been prior times too where I've just up and vanished from the 'Net for several days at a time ( Read more... )

For some reason my blogging pattern and its frequency tend to follow a sine wave-like pattern: I blog a lot regularly, then stop for a time, then start back up, etc. Ugh. I really should stop that and just make it linear!

As to Fedora, a lot of really cool stuff has happened recently, including the gLabels 2.1.5 bump and the inclusion of WebKit ( Read more... )
