Month: October 2004

John,
(that’s Fleck for the
google-fu) you should check out the
Periodic Table
Table. It’s a collection of nearly all the elements (well, 109
of them), organized nicely in a custom-built table. Theo Gray, the
creator of the table, has all sorts of fun knicknacks in the frontend
area at Wolfram, which is about three meters from my (comparitively
boring) cubicle. Note also the
Triangle
Table, which should excite any mathematician readers.

My hackergotchi makes
me look like a 13 year-old dweeb. This bothers me, because I am not 13.
I will destroy Curtis.

Made the drive to Chicago to see Ian
Moore again.
(Remember my ten
artists you’ve never heard of, but should have?) I’ve lost count of how
many times I’ve been to see him. Certain people (namely, my brother and his
wife) have been pestering him about playing in Indy. And Friday, he actually
played in Indiana, but he played in Evansville. Evansfreakingville!
What’s that? You’ve never heard of Evansville? Exactly my point.

Ian has a new CD out, “Luminaria”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t
seem to be on CDBaby yet, so I’ll give
some linkage to the megaconglomco.
Buy Luminaria. Go on, I’ll wait.

On the GNOME front (as if anyone else reads my blog): Yelp is now using
Gecko, James Bowes has done work on getting man pages back in, and I’ll
be making a gnome-doc-utils release this weekend (including Danilo’s
rocking xml2po). Yelp has 102 bugzilla entries.
My goal is to bring it to a dozen for GNOME 2.10. Who wants to share
in the excitement?

Oh, and it’s still not too late to
VOTE.
