Went out today and had a nice lunch with Dana and got to geek out a bit as well as talking about life, the universe, and everything. Came across a great quote for you in the latest Linux Journal: If we believe we “own” the customer we will quickly die”. – Juna Toivari, EVP, Head […]
I know it’s a bad thing to say, and I’ve talked about it before, but Debian Linux seems to be far to slow getting software to their users. Example… GNOME has a six month release cycle, and yesterday they released GNOME 2.8. That means that six months ago (about) they released GNOME 2.6. I saw

Finally got some pics up from the first day (yesterday) of house demoliton renovations. Click below for pics….

In a fantastic example of keeping it’s citizens free from harm, the Ministry of Truth has once again fended off a potential Terrorist by kicking some random guy taking pictures off the street. He’s lucky they didn’t truck him down to the Ministry of Justice for doing such evil deeds as taking pictures around and
