kids around in it is getting old. we're looking for a nice
used vehicle with leg room and four doors for $13K. anyone
have some ideas? please let
me know.
Living in Seattle
I love Seattle but i am starting to feel a little removed
from the other hackers in the free software community.
especially all the code warriors at linuxcare, they all live
somewhere else. If anyone gets to Seattle and wants to meet
a particular free software coder [ie, me], drop me a line.
Redmond Linux
just got the bugzilla page up and
have already entered some bugs. i've decided to call the
first version Amethyst for no particular reason.
LinuxKB.org
well we've announced a major shift
in our strategy. basically we're rewriting the back end
again. expect something tangible from us
someday...
sourceforge
just found out about va linux's sourceforge compile farm.
what a cool idea. hopefully they'll put caldera 2.4 on it
soon, that way i can build redmond linux on it. right now
i'm building it on my home PII-350/128M/15G IDE system; the
kernel RPM's take an hour to compile.
my computer, my girlfriend
my wife has started calling my computer my girlfriend cuz i
spend so much time on it. gotta start paying attention to
her more...
linuxkb.org
top-secret meeting tomorrow about the new direction of
linuxkb.org. hopefully some good stuff comes out of it.
my daughters
my wife put up some new pictures of our daughters online.
rachel is 15 months and susan is 2 months. take a gander.
advogato
thanks for the certs folks. btw, i notice that editing my
notes entries for my id adds extra spaces in the text.
after a while i get gargantuan amounts of spaces in between
words. ok, actually i'm only up to four, but that's three
more than i wanted.
seattle weather
highs in the 50's/low 60's [F] today. what's up with that?
isn't it almost june? i wore my coat today.
life
life is good. i'm healthy, happy, and in love, and that's a
wonderful way to be.
heh wow, i've been keeping a journal in my .project file on cheek.com [finger joseph@cheek.com], now that this is here i can take the "finger me" out of my .sig 8-).
made build 2 of redmond linux today. build 1 was the first proof of concept, to see if i could reverse engineer caldera's installer's rpm config files and get an installable product. success! build 2, today, is the second proof of concept; can i get an installable product with the lizard source from their cvs server? i've got build 2 on cd now, will install tomorrow and see.
assuming all goes well, the final POC [in build 3] will be whether i can get my own RPM's to install instead of caldera's. if so then redmond linux will be in full swing!
afaik no-one has made a distro based on caldera, it's about time someone does. fyi caldera keeps their build process proprietary, as in it's a trade secret, i emailed and even talked with them on the phone. so that's why the reverse engineering. just don't tell the feds on me.
as soon as i finish the POC's and get situated with a new domain i will officially announce redmond linux. fun fun fun.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
