…the first NO CARRIER podcast is now available for your tasting. We hope you enjoy it. We know it’s missing some fancy opening/close theme music, we’re working on that.

You may listen to the podcast over here:

http://galaxycow.com/podcasts/no_carrier/

…or, if you prefer, subscribe to the feed via:

We’ve submitted the podcast to the iTunes directory, so hopefully that will come about soon.

Enjoy!

#477454 - Insulting source code - Debian Bug report logs

…ran across this bug filing in my morning travels.  What a scream.  I love it when nerds get personal and start using source code to do battle.  That’s one of my favorite parts of Linux - just think of all the copies of Debian floating around out there that contains source code like this (Warning: salty, sailor-esque language, as if readers of this blog haven’t run across it before):

So, while trolling the feeds and coming across Chani’s post about this screensaver… and what amounts to one of the stranger use cases I’ve seen in a while… there’s this discussion about some plans to integrate plasma widgets into kdescreensaver and whatnot.  Yeah, she has a use case to justify this sort of functionality and it’s a little odd.  All I have to say is that if I had friends who took it upon themselves to diddle with my laptop while I was away, I’m afraid homicide would be in order.

I’m just saying…

I managed to take my time to get the grass cut without provoking the rain, but I certainly provoked something else. I began collecting mucus in my throat and chest - and so it began… a weekend long escapade with non-stop coughing.

By yesterday, I had coughed so much and so hard that my ribs felt like bursting with each violent outburst. It *hurts*, it really does. I fell asleep several times over the weekend and woke up feeling better, only to feel worse again a few hours later.

It was a miserable weekend and I don’t want to think that perhaps it was caused by cutting the grass, but I’m afraid I cannot deny that possibility. Allergies… to pollen and/or grass? For a Southeast boy? You must be kidding.

In other news, I’m battling a RIS server at work. Who knew Broadcom and PXE boot don’t get along well? Argh.

I’ve been taking much more time away from work lately… especially beyond the 40 hour mark. I’m thinking I might be able to get more done with RA with that plan
And finally, in some very unhappy news, I’m afraid we’ll have to be putting our good dog Trixie down this week. She has grown very thin and her quality of life is just not good these days. I guess it’s time to let her go… despite how I feel about it.

That part is a much, much longer story.

Now I am falling asleep at the keyboard, so I suppose it’s time to cut this stream off and go to bed.
