Goodness, that long...

Goodness, has it been that long since I last posted? I've been kinda busy what with all the editor in chiefing at The H, I seem to have let things slip.

So, let's see what's on the agenda this week.....

1) Waiting for a new Mac Book Pro 17".... (Anyone want to buy a lovingly cared for aluminium Mac Book?)

2) Waiting for a Cusinart grill... Mmmm Bacon

3) Setting up Alfresco 3.2 which is out today, and writing some news about it

4) Going to Online Gaming High Scaling on Thursday

5) Looking forward to Charlie Brookers "You Have Been Watching" on Channel 4 tomorrow....

6) Deciding on something to write, software wise. I've been fiddling about with a "MST3K" library manager, but I think I might turn it into a general "What can I watch" application.

7) Writing something in a long quiet blog

8) Twittering @codepope

9) Oh, and the editor in chiefing thing....

Oh where was I....

Spent the morning fighting RS232 connections to the BeagleBoard. No success yet, but getting there. Updating the EEE PC 901's Ubuntu 8.10 Array.org kernel. Generally nerding about a bit. Which is nice.

A metaphor for free software?

I feel that this tale may serve as a useful metaphor for free software too.

And if you listen to Mark Watson makes the world substantially better... sing along... "Exemplum exemplum, an example from your own life, except in this case it's from a theme park employee, so it's probably a themeparkempluuuum". And if you don't, give it a go.

Ah Drugs Specials....

This just replaced the "Just Say No" song as the worst drugs special ever.

I want that one... big flash drives...

I want that one.... 64TB of flash, 64GB of cache... Mmmmm...

A Pondering....

For the people who think Linux should be referred to as GNU/Linux to properly credit the GNU software used in Linux distributions;

If the attribution of credit is so important, shouldn't the GPL have had an attribution clause?

And a supplementary ponder.... Why GNU/Linux and not Linux/GNU? Answer for that found at the gnu site... fair enough... now back to the primary ponder.

What I look for in a phone...

Oooh I said, a new release of OpenMoko OM2008.8 ....

I wonder..... Looks down page .... Ah Known Issues....

"GSM not working properly after x hours"

Ok... well that can be work....

"Can not make phone call after GSM on/off/on"

Right, well at least we got the source and....

"No Pin-Dialog is showing up and so GSM is not usable at all"

Oh for goodness sake... at least there's the Wifi...

"WiFi can only connect once"

..... Still maybe there's another distro for the OpenMoko eh?
