Saturday I met up with Jonathan Drews for a cwe-lug auxiliary meeting. He demonstrated some of the nicer features in gnumeric as well as some of the mathematical and scientific applications he uses. Since I told him I was looking for a good linux-compatible laptop, he pointed me to a few resources. [...]
I’ll join everyone else in saying that Robert Love’s recent work on kernel integration with GNOME rocks. I was also excited to see how quickly SharpDevelop has been coming along. I’ve done a bit of hacking on WoodPusher lately. Lots of code cleanup needs to be done and there’s still so much [...]
I never had the honour of meeting Ettore in person but will miss him nonetheless. My deepest sympathies to all his friends, family, and the Ximian division of Novell.
Only three things seem infinite: The sky with all its stars, the sea with
all its water, and the heart with all its tears.
The GNOME Project has a lot of momentum and therefore a lot of energy.

The GNOME Bounty Hunt was announced at the Brooklyn GNOME Summit. Check out Nat’s slide presentation. Wish I could have been there, but it would have been pretty lame to be there and not be able [...]
You may remember my complaint a few weeks ago about the lack of CD burning software (and great multimedia applications in general) for Linux (and specifically GNOME). My real frustration is that I know we have a great multimedia architecture that’s included with the core GNOME release. The problem has been the lack [...]
In my constant search for the perfect development environment (IDE, editor + tools, whatever), I ran across SciTE. It’s not the perfect IDE, but it’s actually a pretty cool editor. Not as powerful as vim as an editor but I find myself working quickly because of the quick, automatic folding and nice completion [...]
This is a pretty sad state of affairs. I can’t find a single usable GNOME 2.x CD burning program. It’s things like this that keep a lot of people away from Linux. Sure most of us Linux users can use things like X-CD-Roast or the command-line utilities. I’ve been using xmms [...]
I love Free and Open software. And when I use the word “free” I mean free as in speech, not beer. Although, free beer is always nice. Freedom to use software as I see fit, modify the software, learn from it, build upon it, and share it with others is very important [...]
