Newsforge reports that Clay Claiborne is quiting as President of the Los Angeles Linux Users Group. Why? Because he’s unhappy about Iraq, of course: Claiborne: I’m glad they’re starting a LUG in Baghdad and I’m glad Hussein is gone. I just don’t think it had to cost maybe 20K Iraqi lives and how many Americans’ […]
The Advanced Algorithms class I took never looked like this. I wanna be a lawyer.
The AU/US Free Trade Agreement text is out. Too early yet to say for sure if it’s going to be bad for Linux, but it certainly looks like we’re going to be further locked into some bad laws. An issue that occassionally comes up in Debian is why there are relatively few chix0rs. One technically […]
Well, the year has certainly started off in a decidedly odd way. At the very least, I’ve commenced it the way I hope to finish it — with broadband Internet at home. Yay! Those couple of weeks without while I moved were… wearying. In any case, this hopefully marks the resumption of irregular blogging. UPDATE […]

Why do people act like such idiots? LSL in response to a complaint by Greg Black: We received an unclear feedback from Consumer Affairs, basically this is disputable and can go to the court and up to the judge to decide. However, he suggested us that since this is only $6.30 it is better to […]
Peter Lewis is a bloody idiot. Even the alt.usage.english FAQ agrees. What’s up with the Speaker in State Parliament being more arbitrary and implausible than a random Internet newsgroup?
Michael and Greg haven’t written their blogs yet, but they whine at me about updating mine! Is that fair? I don’t think so.
There’s apparently a Cornell University and University of Virginia project called Fedora, and they’re having a spat with Red Hat over their Fedora project. The universities’ press release contains the gem: The Cornell and Virginia teams have taken a number of steps to try to work with Red Hat regarding use of the name Fedora. […]
Well, what do you know? Keeping all your receipts and going through them actually pays off. I’d been thinking recently that I really should get around to getting a copy of Torch the Moon, the latest Whitlam’s CD. For “recently”, read “since September” or so, as it happens I started thinking this more or less […]
The magic smoke seems to have escaped from my laptop. Doh. God’s way of saying “hey, it’s time to review your backup policies”. UPDATE 2003/11/03: Well, I’ve had my laptop back for a while now. I’m not really convinced it’s as good as it used to be — it had a hardware crash for no […]
Solidarity! Resistance!

I wonder why no one seems to describe free software with the phrase “free as in free trade”.
