Clare blogged about Ubuntu wine, and wondered if other FLOSS products had their own drop… How about the linux.conf.au 2003 Holy Penguin Pee?
Apparently, it really does taste like penguin pee (and not of the blessed variety), so I’m keeping this one in the cellar as a collector’s item only.

Apparently it’s Christmas (again!) in Fremont, Dallas and Atlanta.
I’ve been a very happy Linode customer for two years, enjoying excellent network and host reliability, and their occasional loyalty upgrades. You know, 20% RAM here, 20% HDD there. They’re very good to us.
So imagine my surprise and pleasure this afternoon when I noticed their 100% […]
I managed to limit myself to a ten minute speech about Ubuntu at the O’Reilly Radar Executive Briefing yesterday, as part of Tim’s Spotlight: Who’s on the O’Reilly Open Source Radar? short presentation session. I received quite a bit of positive feedback about it, and indeed, the word awesome was uttered once or twice… But […]
Last month, Rob did a talk about test-driven development at SLUG. It made me wonder: Does God employ test-driven development… and are we the product, or the test-suite?
On Sunday, Pia and I celebrated our first anniversary in the tradition we set during the years before we wed — a cool, windy ferry to Manly, a contemplative wander to Shelly Beach, and a scrumptious dinner at Le Kiosk. We were much happier with the food this year, particularly the pumpkin gnocchi, kingfish sashimi (we stared […]
We picked up our LoveSac today. The soft and scrumptious mocha corduroy cover has been taunting us for a few weeks now, so it was very satisfying to finally get our hands on the innards. All the massaging, fluffing (not that kind!), kneading, rolling, stomping and diving provided some much needed physical activity and entertainment […]
Holy shit! These awesome looking Australian-made DomeShells have been tested against the Building Code of Australia, and have a C1 cyclone rating. Pretty sweet specs given recent experiences in Queensland and the USA. Oddly enough, the project comes out of the Queensland University of Technology.
I totally want one. Two, actually — I’d attach a 7 to a 10, […]
“Hi!”
“Hello again.”
“Um, what are you up to at the moment?”
“Just having coffee with a couple of the folks here.”
“Whereabouts?”
“Hobart…?”
“Oh… Oh yeah.”
“Ha ha ha.”
“So I guess that, say, nipping around to the Ghosts hotel with your credit card would be somewhat challenging, right?”
“Ha ha ha. Yeah, somewhat.”
“Okay. It’s alright, I still love you.”
“Love you too. kthxbye.”
Pia kissed […]
It has been suggested that the parodies of Bill Gates in recent posts are unfair. I have been asked to imagine my face on such images. Why imagine, when we have The GIMP?
It has also been suggested that I go and “do something to make opensource competitive”. So, stay tuned for an interesting announcement from the […]
I migrated to WordPress a while back, and posted a pretty lame redirection setup for Apache. Since that initial migration, I’ve migrated Pia to WordPress as well, watched my web stats, and tweaked the redirection rules. Of course, everyone’s pyblosxom install is a bit different, but these rules will get you 80% of the way, […]
