fnokd!

I will be holding court at the Vinings Starbucks, in Atlanta, Saturday night, with my son. I’ll probably be there around 8pm or so. Email me (bob@ this domain) if you need more information or anything.

I’ve recently started using iTunes on the G5 hooked to the speakers, instead of the iPod connected to them. Today I realized that I hadn’t been listening to anything at all, because iTunes simply never made it to the front of my stack of windows. With the physical iPod situated in front of me, [...]

Today I had the good fortune to shoot the breeze with Mike Loukides at O’Reilly.  He’s working on a new model at O’Reilly, doing less expensive, smaller, and more up-to-date PDF publishing.  I think this is an excellent idea.  The 37signals guys have certainly done well with their PDF publishing, and you simply can’t argue [...]

Through the kick-ass efforts of Ben Walding (pictured left with his, um, jaffles iron…) and major assists by Contegix, sanity has started to return to the haus. All repositories are capable of being open for business, pending the project despots decision. So, if CVS/Subversion is missing, go bug the project lead.

How much have you got? (Click to enlarge)

After fighting with backups (check your backups, kids!), we’ve started getting the haus back online. Subversion repositories are back, read-only over HTTP at http://svn.codehaus.org/, the various distribution repos are back, such as http://dist.codehaus.org/. We did lose some commits in the SVN, and some deployments may be missing from dist. Now’s the time [...]

Shortly after the marriage of JBoss and RedHat, the JBossWorld conference will be happening in Las Vegas. Rebecca and I will be flying out there to hang out with Michael Neale and Mark Proctor of the Drools project. If you find yourself in Vegas around mid-June, look me up and we’ll have a [...]

This weekend I acquired a new toy. Those of you who follow my Flickr might’ve noticed slightly less fuzzy photos streaming in. This is actually the first Windows machine I’ve purchased for myself. Previously I had tried a Zaurus, but it quickly became a paperweight, due to its size and lack of [...]

I’d realized that my last blog praising the guys at Contegix existed only on my now-nuked old Typo-powered blog. And these guys rock so much that I wanted to make sure I had some praise for them still existing on the interwebs. So, to reiterate, Contegix kicks ass. As a managed-hosting provider, [...]

Today, a friend of mine asked me write an endorsement for him on LinkedIn. I hadn’t been to LinkedIn in a while, so surfed around for a tad, and noticed a new feature. LinkedIn lets you know the localities of your network. As you can see here, I’ve got links to the [...]
