We had another live airing of the Free Software Round Table last Saturday night.  One of the big news items in the Linux world was that Ubuntu had released the 7.10 version of their distribution, which is code named Gutsy Gibbon.  I had been running the previous version of Ubuntu on my laptop and decided [...]

I just updated my blog to wordpress 2.3.  It seems like I only post to my blog when wordpress has a release.  So, instead of complaining that I don’t post to my blog enough, complain that wordpress doesn’t have new releases often enough. I set up IPv6 connectivity for my home network last week.  So, [...]

It’s official. Jen and I are going to get married. We went to Central Park yesterday. I took her out on one of the row boats that you can rent. I rowed her out to the middle of the lake, managed to get down on one knee in the boat, and proposed. She freaked out [...]

Today is Tom Melendez‘s last day at work.  I remember the time before he started here pretty well.  John Palmieri, who had been working here for a few years, had just taken a position with Red Hat, so we were looking to hire someone.  I already knew Tom as I had been attending LIPHP for [...]

Child Brutality This past weekend Jen and I went to a party for her sister’s confirmation and her brother’s communion. We got there a little late because we were at Tom‘s going away party. We walked in and there were a few kids there that I hadn’t met before. Jen’s sister had a friend there [...]

John (sid) Teddy and Ilya (dotCOMmie) Sukhanov took the initiative and created planet.lilug.org which my blog is now syndicated on. Seeing as my blog is now syndicated on a Linux related blog site I will likely start writing about more technical and nerdy things than I did before. Seeing as I didn’t write very much [...]

I think I’m finally giving up on making any real contribution to Gnome. It’s taken me a very long time to realize that I am just not that in to any single one of the Gnome components and I don’t have the time to really dig in to the general bits. I spent some time [...]

So, my friend Amanda recently wrote an entry in her blog on myspace about whether or not she would erase memories of past experiences from her mind if it were possible, as it is in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I started writing a comment on her blog and then decided that [...]

So, I decided that I wanted to know what was going in to Iraq’s constitution. I guess I’m some kind of a constitution junky (if that’s at all possible). Regardless of my reasons I set out to read the proposed Iraqi constitution. I found a copy of it that was translated by the Associated Press. [...]
