The OLPC Deserves Better!
The following two articles were published in the past couple days. When they were published and made known to me, I was saddened:
Report: OLPC may eventually switch from Linux to Windows XP
Nicholas Negroponte on Sugar and One Laptop Per Child
It appears, that Greg DeKoenigsberg responded (it appears) to these two articles with a great rebuttal [...]
I guess we’ll wait
As many of you may already know, Fedora 9 (codename: Sulphur) has been pushed back 2 weeks to May 13. Being the organizer of the Utah Fedora/Ubuntu Linux Release Party on May 3, its kind of hard to push it back because Ubuntu’s release is still on time.
I’m glad though that the major parts of [...]

Is Google Calendar really that Lucky?
I was perusing today, and maybe its just because its April Fools day and I’ve not posted, but I thought this was pretty hilarious…
If you click to add a new calendar item into Google Calendar, you get a new button “I’m Feeling Lucky”…
After clicking this new button I recognized, here’s what I got:
Woohoo! So right [...]
Google Summer of Code: Jumping into the fire
So I’ve done it.
Yes, I really have done it this time!
Well, maybe…time will tell.
I’ve gone and posted an idea for a project on the Fedora wiki page for the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), but that’s not all, no!
In addition, I took the time to apply to be a mentor at the Google Summer of [...]
Fedora 9 Beta is now available!
Get yourself some of that sulphur love!
From the mouth of the daring Mike McGrath:
The beta is live. Go out, get people and try to crash the servers! The
challenge is on :-P

Personally, I’ve been on Rawhide (the development tree) since February. While there have been some bumpy roads, most of it has been smooth sailing. These [...]
Fedora 9 Alpha Released
The latest and greatest Rawhide of Fedora has been put into an Alpha Release. I downloaded both the LiveCD and the DVD isos yesterday, which took 15+ hours.
Just a reminder that Alpha means its not ready for your production box, so test it extensively and give feedback. When the Beta comes out in March, I [...]
FUDCon: The Day After
So I’m back at work today after a very hard Sunday (fudpub was not friendly to me) at the slack^H^H^H^H^Hhackfest. However, I have to say that it was probably the best learning experience one could have at a conference. The BarCamp concept really worked well and I think it gave me some much [...]
My new Eeep C
This little machine is pretty nice. I’m getting used to the interface right now as the keyboard is a bit smaller than my normal T60p. A few keys are in a different spot, but overall, this little machine rocks!!
Probably my biggest headache right now is the right Shift key is further over than [...]
