So, we’ve been joking for ages about putting ‘branded’ hackergotchi icons up
on Planet GNOME, for a day’s irony-riddled prank value. However, I get the
impression that this new I am “campaign” was borne more of a sugary
sweetness-like-corn-syrup
than gonzo-style sweetness-and-light…
The above link has a very U.S. oriented analysis of corn syrup, by
the way. The rest […]
Friends, lovers, partners and warriors… We are engaged to
be married.
So there was some joking around on IRC about XUL and Ghostbusters… Without
any reflection on ZUUL being the ultimate enemy, just that XUL was a cool
name. But it reminded me of a thought I had during
the meeting, when the word was being thrown around a lot…
We’re crossing the streams. We’re crossing the streams!

So, I get the impression that Sun’s own human metal
grinder, Jonathan Schwartz, has been knocking back the bong water with his
new pal Spliffy, the OpenOffice.org
in Education project mascot. Sun’s new President and Chief Operating
Officer has “called Red Hat ‘a proprietary Linux distribution [and]
enterprise customers will find ‘better Linux compatibility by shifting over to
Solaris rather than […]
The precocious little snitch is right. Pull your finger out and put
your code into something modern. Like a safety deposit box in Zurich.
At least that’ll keep her skanky mitts off it. *click!*
Quick hack on a cool Planet feature
today, letting us ‘merge’
items from the same source in the html output (though I’m sure there’ll be
other clever uses). So now on Planet
GNOME, adjacent items from the same source will only have one face and
header. Yay! Great for bloggers like John Fleck, Alec Muffett (on Planet Sun) and I, […]
Putting out another call for hackergotchi heads, if anyone’s
inspired to bring out The GIMP… We’re missing heads for: Marco, Rodo,
Rodney Dawes, Jordi Mallach, Julien Moutte, Shaun McCance, Matthew Garrett,
Mariano, Danilo, Christopher Blizzard, Kristian Reitveld and Bryan Forbes.
The standard image size is around 65x85 pixels, usually on the smaller side.
I figured I’d blog about my trip to the UK pretty quickly after coming home,
but I had a quadruple-knockout-punch of vicious jetlag, mental exhaustion,
seething inspiration and a small dose of niggling fear. Messily intertwined
and difficult to resolve, as always. The last few weeks have not been kind
to anyone hanging on items in my todo list.
I was […]
Crazy linkage action!
Bob Metcalfe on The Visionary Thing: “Now, to be sure, there are visionaries who don’t end up poor and bitter, or at least haven’t yet.”
