For quite a few months, I’d been wanting to build my own weblog. You might recall that I had started using Django to code up my ex-employer’s websites. Well, that was a fantastic experience, educationally, because I got exposed to a really great framework. As part of that effort, I rebuilt their rather simple blog (which was — and probably still is — hosted at Typepad, leaving the website interface a little klunkily inconsistent)
Anyway, Aimee and I started talking …
Welcome, everyone, to my new home on the web. I’ve built this site using django, with tonnes of help from all sorts of people. I’ve listed them on the about page for now. As this website gets fleshed out, I’ll add more details.
So, I’ll be blogging here from now on, and not on planet gentoo any longer. I think the planet will be syndicating this feed for a while, though. Please do have a look …
This is the first of two posts. Don’t worry, they’re about different people. I’m doing this one first because it ties into the whole ancient history motif of this week’s posts.
Matt Kennedy (mkennedy) is one of my oldest online friends. I’ve known him since early in 2000 (or maybe even late ‘99). He, along with Rach and Devdas (f3ew) and of course edge-op, is part of the yahoo! chat crowd. Of course, he was …
I’ll end this poison talk with this final entry. Pylon has been here for 4 years now. Like he said, he’s one of the senior/older developers, so he’s seen a lot of it, too.
I want to clarify that just because infra does control the button does not mean that I think they’re abusive about it. Far from it. The issue is this: trust. Infra’s members have to trust each other. Implicitly. Non-infra developers …
I’ve been meaning to write this post for months, actually. Maybe years. I’m likely to get quite a bit of stabby glares from all sorts of circles because of this. That doesn’t matter to me, because the truth has to be told.
Yes, people, I’m about to declothe some emperors on this one. As I indicated in the prelude posting, Ciaran is only the latest in a series of jerks As up in arms as people …
I’ve been unmotivated to write any entries for the past couple of months, because I’ve spent a lot of energy on my personal/professional life, and that took a lot of time. In summary, I’m doing contract/consulting work for a while back at Brontes with my old office-mates. It’s been 3 weeks doing that, and it has been real fun. It’s felt like a homecoming, in a way. I’ll blog more about it …
Update: I hereby rescind the update I made in my Circuit City post: Office Depot has not pulled their creepy hand spots yet. Maybe they’re taking the tack that any exposure is good exposure, in which case I feel sorry for them (but not enough to shop there :) )
Back when I was blogging about Gentoo being a development platform more than a user platform, I got an email from Stuart telling me about a book he’d read called …
So, after about a year or so of using the various gtk2-based forks of XMMS, someone in #gentoo-dev recently recommended rhythmbox. This is a sucky post because I can not even remember why I was asking for alternatives in there. I think it was because I was lamenting that audacious doesn’t play my last.fm streams.
Anyway, whoever that person was is now my hero. I love that it’s a music management application as well. OK, I just …
I’ve not blogged in a long time, I see. Forgive me, dear reader, for that. In fact, a lot has been happening in the week since my last post. In that time, I’ve been poring over the job boards, looking for something to do. I admit, I’ve felt a little discouraged and slightly dejected owing to the lay-off, but life, as they say, must go on.
So, I’ve been doing all sorts of keywords searches on …
I’ve been working with Marijn on a few bugs in preparation for a gnucash version bump. Phew, that’s a lotta links. Anyway, for those of you who are waiting for the version bump, I’m sorry to take so long — it’s just that I want to get the guile/slib/g-wrap stuff bumped and sorted out as well, so that we can start the new version with fresh dependencies.
With Ferris’ help, I will now also be …
