Based upon Paul’s success, I was determined to get Xgl working on my laptop. With so many HOWTOs kicking around, you would think this would be an easy job – not if you have an ATI card. After some poking, kicking, screaming, jumping, smashing, sighing and at one point demolishing, I have finally got it [...]

Well, if you find yourself bored on the 22nd and 23rd July 2006 and are looking for something fun to do, can I make one small suggestion? Sure, my art skills suck, but I wanted to see it all on a single sheet, and I want to see you artsy-fartsy types make it look pretty. [...]

This weekend I spoke at two events for Microsoft people – a Microsoft community leaders day on Friday and the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper Day on the Saturday. At both days I delivered a talk about Open Source, debunking some of the myths, and explaining how Open Source is not just for Linux geeks and how Microsoft fans [...]

Today I am heading down to Microsoft’s campus in Reading for a few days of speaking. Today is an event about community building inside of Microsoft, and I was invited to come along to talk about Open Source. It seems quite an interesting event, and it is always nice and challenging to speak at places [...]

It is becoming increasingly apparent that Brother Haeger is spreading the good words *Salad Dodger’ around the United States of Amerrrrrica. With his boyish good looks, iPod bribery tactics and an affection for pig skin, his buffoonery is reaping rewards. In the words of Ghandi – “first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, [...]

Welcome to yet another gripping instalment of Adventures in spam 3! In a world lacking in community, it is easy to forget how pleasant a concerned friend can be. With many of us pushing forward in our busy lives, a few wise words and an affectionate note of concern can often help us along in [...]
