Thanks, Larry. Very much appreciated.

What does it mean? I don’t know! Neither does Google News.

Next weeks way to work

Posted in 未分類 by on the November 6, 2005

Next week’s way to work is short: about 0.2 miles (50 seconds), according to Google Local. It’s going to be the first time in New York for me!

Teen Sex

Posted in 未分類 by maol on the November 3, 2005

Nat about Teen Sex and the Linux Desktop:

These graphs report that by age 19, 69% of American males and 77% of American females have had sexual intercourse. In fact, by age 17, about half of all teenagers have taken a ride on the wild elmo.

So, I don’t know if Matthew has teenaged children or not, but if he does, I hope he’s paying more attention to his Linux teams!

Back to the Future

Posted in 未分類 by maol on the October 31, 2005

Suddenly posting didn’t work anymore, and the newest post was lost. Now I know why:

There was a catastrophic hard drive failure on the central database server very early this morning, Donncha was on the ball and switched all the traffic to a recent backup so most things would work while we investigated the hardware failure. This means that an old version of your site was shown for a few hours.

Favorites retrieval not working

Posted in 未分類 by on the October 31, 2005

Flock’s favorites do get stored in del.icio.us, but flock doesn’t update its local copy on startup. This is bad since I’m using flock on different computers, and del.icio.us would’ve been a great way of saving bookmarks once and having them everywhere.

Other people seem to have more success – what am I doing wrong?

Convergence

Posted in 未分類 by on the October 27, 2005

Had to create accounts on flickr, wordpress.com and del.icio.us in order to take advantage of flock’s convergence features. Flock should be able to create these accounts for me…
