“I just love that gasoline smell!”
Wait, no I don’t.
I finally got it working, but there’s still that annoying font bug. It sync’s with my Palms. I don’t really like the fact that it requires I use gnome-pilot to get my data. I don’t like running that daemon. I have to get a conduit in pilot-link for this.
Starting the daemon, sync’ing my data, and killing the daemon is not a model I want to continue to use. Still needs proper category support in the Contact records and a few other tweaks. Not quite production ready yet.
Also, what are we doing about group calendaring or rfc2447 compliance. Let’s start coming up with a good solution here.

Things appear to be stabilizing. I just wish I was.
That Work Thing
“I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”
Work continues to be interesting. Unfortunately, there’s some internal projects I can’t elaborate on here. It’s rapidly become a great test of my mental strength and tolerance.
“The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.”
Palm
I’m unmotivated.
I found a bug in pilot-addresses, and some other redesign problems. The good news is that it appears that there are still several people successfully running 0.9.5 under OS/2. Small problems, but it works. Another “When I Get Time™” fix.
ianmacd, we should get you started on some small development tasks on the Palm©. As you know, there’s a ton of work out here in that space. I have a certain
project I think you could help us with.
It seems that my internal Linuxcare email diary from PalmSource 2000 made it’s way into the hands of PalmPower Magazine, unaltered. How it got there, I don’t know, but now they’re asking me to print it in their magazine.
Let me be clear: “If you print that material without my permission, you put your entire company in a very ugly legal liability situation.”
AvantGo is still at it on my server. This time they’re trying to subvert my $HTTP_REFERER tricks. They don’t realize what I’ve got running on that box. I just love seeing this stuff. A small reminder guys, I stay on top of my logs, and now so do they.
Stuff
- Have to work on my CVS For Secure Development talk.
- BBC Slides for LinuxWorld in New York.
- OLS Paper
- pilot-link fix, OS/2 builds, Autoconfiscation
- Capture all of my tweaks in the IBM Thinkpad HOWTO
- Finish the Secure Wavelan HOWTO
- Complete work on the Palm PPP HOWTO
- Begin the Palm, Linux HOWTO. The old one needs a serious update. Makes sense to do a complete rewrite from the ground up.
logic: well put:
“Christmas: Was there a class I missed out on in grade school that failed to prepare me for the efficient and thoughtful acquisition of gifts for significant others during holiday seasons?”
Take a breath, step back, relax.
I need to get back into writing. I’ve got so much work I need to capture on paper (electronically) and distribute to the community.
