I tend to not post political things, but I've been seeing something on those internets that has been pissing me right off for a long time. And since I just posted about governance within Gentoo, that put me in a political mood, so here I go. The Republican party has its issues. The Democratic party has its issues. By and large, I don't see much separation between the two. Justin Raimondo said it best: they are both [just two wings ...

Because they would do the same things as their counterparts on the right. Yep, they'd even sell their souls for the right price. Honestly, what do you do in a situation like this? Here's a guy (Brian's ex-friend) who claims to be anti-establishment and wanting others to tell the truth, but he is unwilling and completely unable to do exactly that his own self. He can't even write as himself (follow the links in Brian's post, I'm not ...

So, there's a knock at the door, and your 7 year old child answers the door to be greeted by two finely dressed gentlemen carrying a leaflet. So, when you come to the door to see who your young innocent is talking to, you chase them away in anger. They drop a pamphlet as they run (like girls) away. And the title of the pamphlet?

The problem is that in an online democracy (or maybe any democracy for that matter?), you will mostly hear only the vocal minority. The happy majority won't be ...

Donnie, I've been using dnsmasq for a year now, ever since Ciaran mentioned it to me in #gentoo-sparc and it has taken its place in my top 5 favourite pieces of software. I don't know that I would ever choose to use anything else. Granted, I don't have a need for it in any large enterprise so I don't know how well it would scale. But for smallish networks, the thing kicks ass. And, by the ...

Right, so this coming week is finally going to see the results of my frustrations with the kerberi. My apologies to those who have been tuning in with hopes of seeing some movement. I'm sorry, but there simply hasn't been any. The next weekish will finally see some ebb in my schedule. Because the Airport Extreme does not work in linux, I haven't really been able to work from home (yeah, I can use the terminal on my devbox @ ...
