Added a hackergotchi for James Willcox, thanks to Joe and The Inimitable Luke Stroven… who doesn’t have a blog! WTF? But I guess he spends enough blog-time running FootNotes.
There are a few blogs on Planet GNOME without the benefit of a humanising hacker head image, so if anyone has appropriate source material for […]

So, I decided to check on some missing hackergotchi heads, and found some lovely pictures of rml on the INTERWEB. Obviously he’s had a bit of a makeover since becoming a serious desktop hacker at Novell. None of that hippie, free-love kernel hacker business.

Time for a bit of mega-thanks. Thanks to Eric and Anders, hacking away at xserver’s hardware acceleration support; that’s going to be so sweet. Thanks to Ximian for hiring Robert Love, and letting him run free in the long grass of Linux and GNOME integration bliss. Thanks to Robert for being fully dressed while running […]

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
Uneventful for many people, but this is my first. I had to wait through the whole security mess to see this, but… yay yay yay! Thanks to Ross for sponsoring it.

Been having a wonderful headspace rest over the last week, attempting to avoid as much thought about work and GNOME as possible. It has been surprisingly invigorating to rest properly - shows that I don’t do a good job of this when it really matters. Yes, I admit it, part of this rest did involve […]

LWN and news.com tell me that Red Hat is acquiring Sistina. So, GFS may once again be Free, and we will have a choice of cluster file systems - awesome to see Lustre hit 1.0 in the last few weeks, too. Last week, Red Hat also announced a partnership (fancy that!) with Fujitsu. Lots of […]

So, I have had a lot of respect for the KDE dudes for a long time. I have been incredibly happy that the core hackers in each camp have got along with cheerfulness, decorum and mutual respect - even while some overzealous members of our user communities have flamed and bickered, generating this idea of […]

So, Pipka made it to China intact, and decided to up the ante on her intensive language course by participating in a multiple wisdom tooth extraction exercise at a local clinic. It started with wire-tension phone calls from her and her Mum, and ended with Pia casually announcing her health over the phone in an […]

I bought a new world political map today. Poster-sized and laminated for whiteboard marker abuse. Ben ‘kicking rad’ Lisle was surprised when I was really going to Map World to get it: “Oh. Wow. So you’re serious about this world domination thing then?” Hell yeah. LET THERE BE FEET.

Martin and Tim comment on Joel Spolsky’s review of TAOUP. Always interesting to read reactions to Joel’s articles because they tend to be strong. Strongly for, against, or surprised (“Wow, I thought Joel was a smart guy!”). I’m usually slightly annoyed by him, and fear Nat and Miguel’s ideas of Joel doing a keynote at […]
