I am writing this post in a Firefox window on my newly installed Ubuntu Linux machine.
I had a relatively old IBM Thinkpad A21m sitting around, more-or-less unused, so I decided to test the rumours I’ve been hearing that Ubuntu is now at the “easy one step install and it just works” stage.

I just want to quickly point out that there is some new stuff happening in the comments to my “Confusing The Art and the Artist” post, the “most linked to” post here so far. In particular, look for the lengthy response from John C. Wright, one of my examples in the post. His response is [...]
The keen-eyed among you (who aren’t reading this in RSS) may have noticed a few tweaks in the blog presentation. I’ve added numbering to the comments, and I’ve written a tiny plugin and made some changes to support distinguishing my comments from the ones the rest of you make. (With the amount of comments I [...]
In the last eight hours, there have been 2404 attempts to post spam comments to this blog. Ooops, 2407. The count keeps going up, with between three and ten attempts per minute, sustained over the last eight hours. It looks like they are all generated from the same script, running on several machines.

orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
black: the HTML tag, the [...]
I’ve added random quote functionality to the sidebar, and so far I’ve just fed in something like 30 choice Bertrand Russell quotes. I haven’t decided yet whether or not I intend to add other authors, or just keep deepening the Russell quote collection. You’ll see it at the top of the sidebar.
You will also see [...]
OK, I finally bit the bullet and did the upgrade from WP1.5.3 to WP2.0.1 (It feels like I just did the upgrade to WP1.5, but it looks like that was almost exactly a year ago.)
Everything seems to have gone smoothly, although I had to update a few of my plugins to make them happy. Also, [...]
There may be a short break in service over the next week as I am about to enter a period of intense time commitment at work–I’m preparing materials to teach a whole team of new developers about our product, which has a pretty huge history and codebase, and then I’m teaching them.
I really hate when [...]
OK, Boston-ness is getting in the way of content. However, in line with the whole “a year has passed thing”, I’ve set up a date reminder system in my sidebar. If you’re not reading this in RSS, you will see the next 5 upcoming things from my date list just under the calendar.
