I'd like to start this entry off thanking raph for recovering my password for me. It'd been so long that I'd forgotten it. So, thanks raph! Keep up the good work on advogato and your other projects!
So, let's see if the little demons at school read this one. Yes, you know you who are! Hehehehe. Right now I'm teaching high school part time... a web design course and a Linux course. Some of the students in the Linux course found my LiveJournal (as if it's that hard...), and proceeded to comment on it in class one day. :) Oh well. Maybe at least if they're reading advogato, they'll get a sense of what goes on in the free software community and become more interested in it. They're a bunch of good kids, and are doing pretty well learning Linux.
Freenode Radio is going really well too. We changed our name recently, though, as we emerged from what we consider our alpha testing stages into the beta testing. We're not 24/7 yet, but for good reason. It's been said that others have gotten 24/7 streams going in under 3 weeks. Good for them! But, we're not having technical issues on 24/7 streams. We want live, personal, human influenced content. Having a playlist up all the time is no better than what commercial radio stations do, free music or not. So, we're marching steadily toward that goal.
Hmmmm... gah, why is it that when I take the time to sit down and update these things, I can't think of what I wanted to talk about? Oh well. I'll talk about Star Trek Enterprise some. Have been going back over and watching almost all the episodes from the beginning. I really didn't like that show at first... it just didn't seem right. But the more I watch it, the more addicted I get. I just wish I had a PVR still ... so I could record them and save them on my box.
Oh! I know who I need to talk about... my good friend ChipX86 Everyone needs to poke and prod him and get him working more on gnupdate and gaim. He obviously has *way* too much free time on his hands, and needs more work to do. So get him working! We need a nice sane packaging system, and we need an IM client that doesn't suck. But to have that, it has to support file transfers! :)
I guess I'll leave it there now. If I think of anything else, I'll post some more. So with that, I'll conclude with "Moo".
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
