RSS Winterfest

"RSS Winterfest is happenin' today and tomorrow and lots of good feeds are being tossed around and captured, of course, via RSS Resources Blog with a feed of its own." [Lockergnome's RSS Resource]

My aggregator: "Can't subscribe to the channel. The most likely cure is to check the URL in a web browser and see if you can get it to read the feed. The following message probably won't help you figure out what went wrong, but we include it here because it might. "Poorly formed XML text, we were expecting a tag. (At character #359.)" "

Sigh.

Gentoo - Now with More Irony

Gentoo - Now with More Irony 06/17/2005 03:45 PM

Daniel Robbins, the founder of my beloved Gentoo Linux, bowed out of the Gentoo community last year, setting up a non-profit organization to responsibly manage Gentoo and all of the intellectual property that surrounds it. He, along with others, created a very popular Linux distribution that provides unique benefits over the other offerings that are available. Unfortunately, open-source alone wasn't paying the bills, and Daniel had to find other work.

Mr. Robbins began his new job late last month. With Microsoft:

Gentoo founder and former Gentoo Chief Architect Daniel Robbins began a new position at Microsoft on 23 May 2005. According to drobbins: "I'm helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and community-based projects." While in the midst of hastily packing to move to Redmond, [Robbins] nonetheless managed to find the time to finalize the transfer of Gentoo's intellectual property (essentially copyrights on ebuilds and other software as well as soon-to-be trademarked Gentoo logos) to the not-for-profit Gentoo Foundation, Inc.

Best of luck to him, but it strikes me that without Gentoo, I might not have gotten rid of most of the Microsoft products that I owned. I just hope that "helping Microsoft understand open source" doesn't mean "unwittingly helping Microsoft understand how to get rid of the 'open source problem'".

Legal abortion tips the voter balance from Democrat to Republican. That's Larry Eastland's theory. Abortion has caused missing Democrats--and missing liberals. For advocates so fundamentally committed to changing the face of conservative America, liberals have been remarkably blind to the fact that every day the abortions they advocate dramatically decrease their power to do so.

Leading the charge to alter the state constitution to restrict marriage in Massachusetts to one man and one woman is none other than the Governor, Mitt Romney. Mitt's a Mormon (one of the many splinter sects of christianity). You remember the Mormons, right? They're the group that triggered the passage of the original federal (and many state) marriage laws in the first place because of that whole polygamy thing... This could just be ~150 years of payback, I suppose. (I'm not sure that getting the support of gay groups in the 1800s would've done much for their cause)...

Concerning Naked Lunch: Part 2 - Nausea
and Irony 06/05/2005 10:54 PM
 This is the second in a series of essays about the book Naked Lunch, designed to introduce the book properly to new readers. Generally, people hear about the life of William Burroughs before they read any of his work. The goal of these essays is to point out the more important aspects of the work, rather than the man. This essay will deal with the use of irony and satire in Burroughs' work, and the way he uses them to highlight the hypocrisy of his time.

the costs of anti-Americanism will be

Week and day of week selection in the

Week and day of week selection in the
new version of Java Date Picker 04/13/2005 08:32 AM

On April 7, 2005 Stand By Soft, Ltd. just released Java Date Picker 4.0, a suite of professional date components for Swing. The major improvement of this new version is the possibility to select weeks and days of week. A week can be selected by clicking on its number and a day of week by clicking on its label (Tue for Tuesday, for instance).

Here is a list with all the important changes:

* Added support for week selection and day of week selection.
