  • Matthew Broderick broke The Music Man.

    I was reading Lefty’s recent blog post and was reminded (by way of a certain scene) of being pissed off by Broderick’s s/egg/globe/ in the 2003 production of The Music Man. I was going to put the following in the comments, but I decided not to in order to keep the conversation on topic :)…

  • Bugzilla needs a JSON-RPC implementation in JS under MPL or compatible

    Likely released under MIT/X11 or the Mozilla Public License. I’m looking around to find one. Maybe Mono has one in the AJAX contribution it recently received from Microsoft. It’s licensed under Ms-PL, though, so I don’t know if it qualifies. Thoughts? Do you know of one? Thanks.

  • libvirt patch accepted

    Whee. I submitted a patch to libvirt to include ARM machines in the capabilities list. Folks should now be able to create arm hosts with less hassle. Since Lenny, Debian has officially supported the arm architecture. I’ll write up a HOWTO for getting a qemu VM online. I plan to use this to develop Mono…

  • Is Boycott Novell interested in fixing the problem?

    Roy, Would you like to work with me to fix the US patent system? I sure would like it if you’d stop saying mean things about the most active and effective Free Software developers I know. If we have to fix the broken patent system in order for you to stop giving F/OSS a black…

  • Mono on the G1

    I got a g1 for Fathers’ Day (Thanks Hannah!) and I’ve been futzing with it a bit. I rooted it and set up a chroot debian system. It’s running an ssh server, openvpn and snmpd. There’s been a lot of talk about getting flash working on the device. They just announced yesterday the next phone…

  • Using en_US.UTF-8 locale on Debian/Ubuntu

    NB: this write-up has been superseded. You should be reading this article instead. It took me a while to figure out how to make Larry’s postings to #perl6 not break my screen session. Now that I’ve figured it out, I’ll see if I can share it with y’all. In addition to screen and irssi displaying…

  • Parrot 1.0 released

    Congratulations to the Parrot development team. They have just released v1.0, titled “Haru Tatsu” (春達), or “The Spring.” I attended my first SPUG meeting in a couple of years last night. It was good to see ydna, jjore and Michael R. Wolf. It’s been so long that I don’t think I recognized anyone else. The…
