Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:10:56 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Tonight, as occurs every 2.71542689 years, the moon will be blue. Called blue, anyway. That's because it's the second full moon in one month! Now, it probably won't be blue--unless you have a forest fire, volcanic erruption, or something. Anyways, enjoy! http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/31/once-in-a-blue-moon/ Whew! What a title :P. I installed a larger antenna for our D-Link wireless router today. After having a little trouble positioning it, the new antenna seems to work great! Now, I can get wireless from the nice, cool basement! Hopefully the roof causes the signal to be muffled and I'm ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/30/hope-the-fcc-doesnt-show-up/ It's almost the lettuce seed season, everybody, party! :S...yet another 90°F day. :D Weeded lettuce and pulled out sickly, dead, diseased plants. Fun! I worked on trying to get Samba to share printers today...no luck at all :(. I did get the printer to spit out a blank page--once--but that ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/29/lettuce/ Went on a camping trip to Kalaloch, WA with some family. That was a blast...anyway, I'm back :P. Came home to hear about how "Linux is a threat to National Security". See http://www.designnews.com/article/CA435615.html Crazy...I'm not sure what this is susposed to mean. He suggests that open source software has the capability ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/27/back-home/ I've been using Dreamweaver MX for a website under Linux using CrossOver Office. It actually works pretty well (CrossOver, that is), but IMO, Dreamweaver ain't worth the resources or price. The code editor (where I spend most of my time!) isn't quite up to snuff with Quanta and Kate. So, ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/24/dreamweaver/ Nice... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/23/error-deleting-files-out-of-disk-space/ Death to GTK+! I was working on GEdit and getting it to cooperate with KDE dialogs today when I found that GEdit wouldn't compile due to needing gcc to compile instead of g++ (which KDE needs/works best with). Looks like GTK was designed to be compatible with C++, and it ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/23/gtk-is-aweful/ I wrote the FSF today about propriatory GTK+ programs using KDE/Qt dialogs (through a patch to the GTK trunk). Below is what they said: From: Dave Turner via RT Reply-To: licensing@fsf.org To: Taj Morton Subject: [gnu.org #206030] Licensing Question on GTK and Qt Date: Thu. 23 Jul 2004 19:29:00 -0400 (16:29 PDT) > ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/23/heard-back-from-the-fsf/ Yes, it is. It was 100°F today (that's 38C)...nasty out in the hot sun. The river was nice though... I just heard a very good show from Philosophy Talk. The show was entitled "Who Owns Ideas?", and had Lawrence Lessig as their guest. Lawrence is a Professor of Law at Stanford ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/22/its-summer-everybody/ Don't you love it: Yeh, maybe when you're in the shade. Today we get to go out and weed Calendula :D. I got some more work done on GEdit today and making it use KDE dialogs. Super! Maybe I'll be able to merge it with the GTK trunk, but I have ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/22/summer-weather/ I checked out Lazarus again today. It seems like it's comming along nicely, and maybe even mature enough to use for some projects. Of course, there are some bugs, like widgets aren't themed along with the rest of Gtk, so it looks really ugly. Maybe it'll be mature enough to ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/21/lazarus/ It's my new blogging software, Wordpress! It seems really nice and seems to work well. Timezones even seem work...no I wasn't up at 3:30AM posting like some of my entries with bBlog stated!. Now, I just need to make myself a template and write something! Enjoy! I've been learning how to program ... http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/21/welcome-to-wordpress/ Sorry for the lack of updates...I've been busy learning how to program with KDE and haven't had a chance to work on importing my posts. Sorry! I'll get WordPress up soon. http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/13/sorry/ [anonymous] pointed this out: http://www.bushin30seconds.org This is by far my favorite ad: http://www.bushin30seconds.org/150/view.html?ad_id=1380 It got 62nd place...sheesh. Oh well, enjoy! Thanks to him/her for pointing this out to me. http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/06/bush-in-30-seconds/ Stay as far away from SupremeServer as you can. Their hosting sucks and costs $$$ if you exceed their usages. Anybody know of any good hosting companies with rollover bandwidth?

It seems really nice and mature...haven't found any bugs (yet!). I'm writing an import tool to get all the bBlog posts. You'll see it in a day or two. http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/06/playing-with-new-blog-software/ I'm getting tired of bBlog and it's time zones problems (looks like posts were made way before they actually where). Does anybody know of any other good PHP blogging systems? Post a comment if so. Thanks! http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/blog/2004/07/03/looking-for-new-blog-software/ From Slashdot: Sanity writes "On May 18th, by a thin majority, the European Council of Ministers voted in favor of throwing out the European Parliament's efforts to keep software patents out of Europe.
