I've been blogging for almost a year now and have found it quite enjoyable. Writing is quite therapeutic, and it makes you think about stuff a little more than you normally would. One of my most valuable possessions is a 300 page tome, my grandfath

One of the nice things about conferences is the oppurtunity to meet new people.  It was nice to be able to mingle with Alan Cox for a little bit while fighting for Pizza at FOSS.  Talking with Seemant was cool too.  Props to those comm

Report from FOSS 2005 (day 1)

2005.11.29 Tue 7:27 A GMT-07
I made it to India intact. I haven't really slept much in the past 48 hours, so forgive the typos. The FOSS conference is being held outside of the palace of Bangalore. The schedule got kind of messed up and many of the talks were d
