Search Strings
So, according to my website stats, these fine search engine strings have been used (among others) in the month of October to find my site:
everything is gay
bastard
academia sucks
Not much terribly interesting for November, except maybe "xray apendicitis" [sic], which is rather odd.
I am amused.

Most interesting Slashdot response I’ve ever seen
Upcoming Travel
I'm doing a bit more travelling before the year ends.
This Saturday (12 Nov), I'm leaving for Berlin for an Intel thing. I'll be there until the next Saturday morning. I should hopefully have a fair amount of time to do some sightseeing, and I'll be able to see Jens and Moritz while I'm there. Awesome. Malte, from our Munich office should be joining me for a couple days, which will be cool.
In December, I'm going back to the east coast for Christmas and New Year's. Amazingly, I managed to get a free flight with all the miles I've racked up with United this past year. I really thought that entire time period would be blacked out, but I managed to get a flight out on the 24th, and one back on the 4th. Not ideal, but it's free, so I'll take it. I'll probably be up in NYC for a day or two around the 28th or 29th, so if you're in the area, drop me a line. Otherwise I'll be in MD.
Joe Blow can, well, blow me
Well said. This is basically what I want to tell people when they say "Linux needs this", or "OSS needs this", or "your application needs this" if I want more people/average users/my grandmother to be able to use it. The bottom line is: I don't care if these people use Linux. And I certainly don't want them using Linux if getting them to do so means being forced to make stability and security compromises (among other things).
Some Press…
Aww, so we're GNOME's "beloved little brother"? That's so cute.
