Yes, Daniel, perhaps we should set up a Planet Little Sister ;)
Two days ago, Jenna had her first ballet practice. We thought she’d be scared or something, like some of the other kids in there, but she ended up really enjoying it. She can’t wait for next week.
It was fun to watch, since she didn’t [...]

Today was a first for my little sister Jenna in a couple of ways. We went to the local bowling alley for my brother’s birthday party. It was Jenna’s first time bowling, and she had a blast. She used one of those little ramp things for kids, which I remember using in the past once [...]

Yahoo has blocked third party clients again. This is part of their master plan to drive away users, I mean, fix the spam issue. Not that I’ve experienced a spam issue yet, but I’m probably just lucky. Most third party clients use the same authentication code to connect, and Yahoo just exploited a bug or [...]

We got our phone bill this month, and my parents noticed a charge from a company called Galacy Web Hosting. Looking back, it seems we’ve had this charge for awhile, but never noticed it (don’t ask me why). Anyhow, they called up ILD Teleservices, who Galacy was going through for the charge it seems.

I headed to Best Buy today to look at new monitors. I wanted a second head for my computer, but it was going to require a DVI-to-VGA adapter. After looking at the very crappy selection of CRT monitors, and realizing that I didn’t really have enough room to fit another CRT on this desk, I [...]

My new ATI Radeon 9600 dual head video card came in the mail today! Although I must say, there’s nothing more frustrating than getting a new toy like this and realizing that the DVI-to-VGA adapter you thought was coming with it actually doesn’t come with it. One more day…
A second monitor is going to [...]

Seems that Gmail users just got 3 invites to use. I’ve used one up already. Going fast! :)
Updated: Sorry guys, they’re gone.

I just finished reading Mike Hearn’s article The user interface vision. It’s an interesting read on his views of what the UI for package management can evolve into. I like the ideas, although some things need fleshing out more (as he also states).
If we really want to get Linux on the desktop, this is an [...]

One of our Gaim patch writers, Felipe Contreras (AKA shx), sent in a wonderful patch today that he’s been working on for some time. Aside from cleaning up a lot of the MSN code, we now have support for MSN buddy icons and file transfer! There are a few bugs to work out, but it’ll [...]

I finished up this week’s Galago status report, and it turns out I did a lot more than I thought I did. Sometimes I wonder where I am mentally when I work on these things.
Now comes the real trick. Before I can get a release of the core Galago components out, I have to fix [...]
