jonobacon@home

Today Aq and I just did a server upgrade and jonobacon@home should be much faster now. In the interim there may be a few quirks here and there. Just let me know and I will get them fixed. Thanks for your patience, folks!

Today I flipped the switch on some changes I have made over the Christmas holiday to jonobacon.org. Hopefully these changes should make using the site much nicer. A few notes: I have installed a new theme. I still have some small CSS tweaks to make here and there, so do let me know what you [...]

A few weeks ago I wanted to thank the top three jonobacon@home comment posters at the time (Adam Williamson, Ethan Anderson and Vadim Peretokin) for their contributions to the site. I offered to buy them a DVD or CD. Well, I figured it would be interesting to show what they picked, although I am not [...]

One thing I am most proud of about jonobacon.org is that there is some great discussion in the comments. It seems the most magical aspect of blogging is that no matter what I babble on about, it invariably results in some interesting discussion in the comments. Thanks to everyone who has participated over the years. [...]

Just a few quick jonobacon.org housekeeping notes. Firstly, I have added a little sidebar section that displays those rock and roll readers who have posted the most comments. The ranking is over the last year. Our Top 10 is currently: Vadim P. (19) Adam Williamson (15) ethana2 (13) mrben (10) Tom Mann (10) Wolfger (9) [...]

Well, I just discovered that the majority of comments for jonobacon.org were being held in a moderation queue for the last four months – it seems my anti-spam filter was being a bit urgent. I have just approved over 400 comments – how annoying that this happened. Sorry about that folks. Normal service should be [...]

Wow, today I got an email from Don Marti, legendary writer that he is: Congratulations — based on links from bloggers who get syndicated on Linux-related Planet sites, you’re at the top of the Linux blog A-list. http://www.linuxworld.com/community/?q=node/1447 Good grief. Also, Langridge is at #6. Good stuff. Does this mean that while backstage I can [...]

Just a quick housekeeping update. I made some changes to jonobacon.org to tidy some things up: Speaking Events – Speaking events are listed much more clearly now, and I have also added my current schedule of events for the first few months of 2007. Its gonna be a busy year, so do keep an eye [...]

Yep, I am moving to a new server, so jonobacon.org will go away for a day or so. If you can’t handle the pain, I recommend you take a screenshot, print it out and place it next to your pillow to remind you of the good times. Normal service will be resumed soon…

Firstly, after my custom site punched me in the face one too many times, I have moved to WordPress. My old site was becoming a little too unwieldy, and the benefits of moving to WordPress outweighed the disadvantages. So, check out www.jonobacon.org and its snazzy new design. Secondly, hello Planet GNOME! Finally, LUGRadio Live 2006 [...]
