I have a few minutes this evening after a full day at the hospital. My first child, a little girl, was born last nite. Everything went well and we’ve been getting used to the new addition in the hospital today. We’ll be back home tomorrow sometime, and I’m sure life will be a lot [...]
My apologies for the lack of updates this week. My poor wife is nine-months pregnant and we’re expecting a baby any day now. We even spent one evening at the Hospital wondering if that was going to be the big day. She’s taking much of my focus this week, but with her fast asleep [...]
I worked on 5 bugs today. A few of them were new bugs that I found in Hardy, a few of them were follow-ups with previous bugs that I’d worked on or submitted. I think the 5-A-Day is a great program, and I’m glad to see so many people have jumped on board. I’m going [...]
So I’ve finally, somehow, become the latest casualty of twitter. I don’t know how it happened, because for the longest time I did not get it. Well to give you some idea I get twitters to my phone… yeah, shameful I know.

We were having a discussion in IRC this morning about how promoting free software and open standards can sometimes end up restricting your freedom. Now tell me if I’m wrong here, but as I understand the idea behind OpenOffice is:

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy” Alpha 4 a day or two ago and I finally got some time to poke around with some of the new features. The new features that are of the most interest to me are the security related features such as firewalling, SELinux, etc.
note: SELinux will not be default in [...]
First of all I need to thank Daniel for turning me onto this tool. I’m administrator on more lists than I’d prefer and this has been a godsend!
If you happen to be one that missed his post recently on the planet, or if you’re just finding this via Google, Listadmin is a tool to [...]
