Bloggo-War (Seemant)

Obviously, Christian won the last battle. I do concede defeat.

But I’m about to strike back.

I guess our definitions of holiday differ slightly. I believe a holiday to be anything where you take a break from something. So you can take a holiday from work, and still hack ...

Django and The Prophet of Bits (Seemant)

So, I’m in the Django IRC channel yesterday. Well, let me back up for a minute. I’m working on a mock-up/demo for djangofying (did I just invent a word here?) some parts of the StreamBase websites. So, I’m deciding on the models and stuff, and it ...

BlogFight! (Seemant)

Well, Christian, I took the phrase “time-out to mean holiday. In other words, a time out from gentoo is a holiday away from it. Having said that, your time out has been about as effective as Alec’s. You guys need to learn to get away from the keyboard. :p ...

Liver Cleanse Part 2 (Seemant)

So, as you might know, I got my blood work results back last week. My liver enzyme levels have fallen and I’m almost normalised. I should get there in the next couple of months. Additionally, the enzyme that indicated the gluten allergy is elevated, but not nearly as much ...

The Phreaks are out Tonight (Seemant)

Look here, Christian, don’t you dare think about leaving, ok? I think the extended break is a good idea, but you’ve yet to actually do it, you know :p.

In fact, for someone on holiday, you’ve been extraordinarily active. So, do what you need to do, just ...

I lied, I really am Gulleen (Seemant)

As it turns out, I really am Seemant Gulleen. Or more accurately Seemant G/Kulleen with a silent “G/”. So, John fixed the error I was having. Turns out it’s an off by one error in gtkhtml (poor evo just crashed because of it).

Anyway, his patch fixes it ...

The Results Are In! (Seemant)

That’s right, folks, the results are in. I got my blood test results in the mail today. I don’t know what the half the stuff is, but my doctor underlines all the critical bits. Here’s the thing. In February my liver enzyme level was 219 or something ...

If You Can’t Dazzle Them With Brilliance… (Seemant)

When I was growing up in Zambia, my family and I would go to Zimbabwe (“Zim” to those in the know, though I can’t imagine anyone going there these days) to visit. Zimbabwe was great because you’d get coca-cola (which was banned in Zambia at the time), and ...

Avenjing the Departure (Seemant)

I hate writing these. What I mean is that I hate having to write them. What I mean by that is that I wish people I care about (not only because they’ve become friends, but also because of the tremendous value they’ve brought to Gentoo during their time ...

Kontact’s KAnnoyances and unKnowns for Kulleen (Seemant)

Yesterday I wrote about switching my work laptop to KDE. After playing around a bit with the Kontrol Center, I’ve got it mostly looking and feeling like how I want. I’ll blog about that in the next article. For this article, I want to just reminisce about Evolution ...

If I was Gulleen, I’d use Gnome, but I’m not (Seemant)

I’m actually Kulleen. And so, it really only makes sense that I’m pre-ordained to use KDE, right?

Well, I never subscribed to that belief. In fact, I’ve been an avid Gnome user since forever. I love everything about gnome: GTK+, Evo, nautilus, the works. And it only ...
