Radio UserLand creates nice little pages showing all the posts in a given month, but it doesn't link them in anywhere through the weblog. So, I am putting this link here just so that the month pages get indexed by Google [2003]. 2:00:54 PM    comment []  

After performing tests to find out how much damage could be caused by seemingly innocuous foam moving at high velocities one official at Nasa had this to say, "people's intuitive sense of physics is sometimes way off" [New York Times]. 9:41:57 AM    comment []  

Since I am very interested in the Ximian Desktop 2 (XD2) and I couldn't find any authoritative source for when or if XD2 would be ported to Debian, I decided to go straight to the source. I emailed Ximian yesterday and they responded:

Unfortunately, at this time, I don't think that XD2 will be ported to Debian.

Fortunately, the Debian developer community will be working on the problem. There is one group that is working on a backport of XD2 to the woody/stable distribution of Debian and others will be adding the appropriate patches and components to the sarge/unstable branch to bring it up-to-date [debian-gtk-gnome archives]. So, either way Debian will get XD2, it will just take a little longer. 9:29:32 AM    comment []
