Pardon this off-topic post (for my Fedora category, anyway), but a large body of might-be Verizon text message users are reading this, and I’m interested in finding out if my situation is unique, typical, or endemic. For the last few months I’ve been receiving from one to several incorrectly routed text messages a week. I’ve […]

20-Apr-08Chicks and chicks – the livestock report
19-Apr-08As per my earlier Twitter: We found the last place w baby chicks of and 4 girls are on the go. Mo Blog Later. … which was written on the go, while I was on a last house errand after we strapped my two-year-old neighbor in the back with my six-year-old and her eight-year-old friend. […]
Linux truly is for the People
19-Apr-08Epic. I’m presuming this is for Red Flag Linux, although I cannot find a matching image to the flag at the end of the video. When we are at FUDCon we must shoot a video like that for Fedora, but instead parody an epic Fantastic Four scene. Who gets to play Galactus?
Fedora at Sun’s Community One event
18-Apr-08On Monday 5 May, I’ll be attending Sun’s CommunityOne, an open and no-cost event for developers. Aside from going for the general interest and relationship to $dayjob, I’ll be giving a talk on Fedora and sitting on an “Operating System Community Panel.” As a bonus, the Community One pass gives access to the pavilion and […]
EPEL duple at the Red Hat Summit
14-Apr-08Super excited that both Michael Stahnke’s talk and my EPEL talk got accepted for the 2008 Red Hat Summit. You may notice that I matched the style of my page to Michael’s. This reflects the EPEL talks that are a duple, that is, two parts made to fit together into a more meaningful whole, such […]
Looking for a tech writing class to help
10-Apr-08Ready for some classic back scratchin’? (That’s where you scratch my back, and I scratch yours.) You are in charge of or part of a class in technical writing or documentation. We have an open project with tools, processes, and lots of great content to create and manage. In addition to using community-generated content to […]
It may seem a bit early, and we have a remedy for that feeling, but it really and truly is time to get the last release notes changes in for Fedora 9 GA. You can view and update the source here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats Preview here: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ If you worry that this is all closing down far […]
Solution to missing codecs in Fedora

Random acts of self-sustainability
30-Mar-08Without meaning to, I’ve made this blog mostly devoid of thoughts and happenings here on our happy urban farm. Time to stop that. Last September we closed a deal to be tenants-in-common on the property next door, with the part under our control approximately 2350 square feet/218 square meters of raw backyard to garden. Since […]
With all the attention on documentation toolchains in Fedora Docs, I wanted to provide a quick scope on the differences between the toolchain we’ve been using over the years, in /cvs/docs, and the newcomer, publican. The goals are many: introduce a new toolchain to users of the old tools; show the many similarities and few, […]
