ok fzort, you gonna yell at me if I certify you as journeyer? :)

boy tk, I hope you're moving to k5 for the atmosphere

if you were ready to sit down and try to engineer a clone of the Street after reading Snow Crash like I was, you might like this. It's called Second Life. It's about the closest I've seen anything get to the Street so far. I'll be posting more details/screenshots in my livejournal later.

i'm getting fat from eating christmas cookies, someone please take them away.

damn i'm happy today :)
the battery in my ipaq wouldn't charge, and I thought it had to do with linux apm, but it turns out it was the sleeve it was sitting in. replaced it with a new pcmcia sleeve and boom! here's a screenshot of me playing with a julia fractal.

wow it's interesting to see what some of the older article topics on advogato were (I needed a change from sco and introspector)...

http://www.advogato.org/article/older.html?start=15

some of my favorites so far:
"the DVD crack"
Sourceforge goes beta (wow)
ReiserFS filling the journaling fs gap in Linux
article 9 ALREADY talking about article peer review!
Napster controversy over the open source client 'Gnap'

of course the list goes on and on. I wonder what happened to "Advogato's number"?

hey mpr, getting any of my e-mails?

hacker: I threw my linksys BE-whatever off a building and bought the netgear MR-814 you talked about. It rocks. It has plenty more features, and they actually f***in work. I called Linksys support before I did this to see what they were going to say, and I got the same recommendation that others got: to flash the firmware down a version, which I hear turns it into a brick with an antenna. So thanks :)

tk: thanks to your links I find myself reading and learning lojban today (heh). Probably the fact that I just read Snow Crash also has something to contribute to this....

hacker : I am so glad you posted your last entry. I bought this same model 3 weeks ago offline and am having the EXACT same problems. I thought it was me (or my cable internet provider). Downloads stall, everything loses connection after no more than an hour. I went to see if there were firmware upgrades but it turns out it came with the latest version. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy.

raph: which cvs server does mod_virgule sit on these days? I got my current tree from gnome.org but the index page isn't the same with what is currenly being used.

Linux users: wanna dare SCO to sue you?
