Month: January 2004

If you’re looking for some good coverage of Trippi’s resignation, the campaign’s focus (or lack thereof) and what this means moving forward, be sure to read Noam Scheiber’s mea culpa at TNR last night. Bottom line: the clock is ticking. Roy Neel has his work cut out for him.

Thanks to this page and Linux Voodoo, I am now syncing my Treo 270 with SuSE Linux. Still can’t print. I’m setting up a wiki page to catalog what I’m doing, how I’m doing it, etc.: LinuxResources. Feel free to add your comments, tips, suggestions, critiques, etc.

If you’re looking for the on-the-ground reporting that the news media seems to be embarassed by (why cover the story when you can just tell people what to think?), some great sites you should be reading: DailyKos, as with Iowa, has great reporting by folks like Jerome Armstrong, Kos, and Tom Schaller. The Gadflyer. The…

OK… so I’m up and running with SuSE Linux 9.0. And I’ve hit a wall. Two, actually: Printing. I have an HP OfficeJet G85xi connected to an HP JetDirect print server. While you’re supposed to be able to connect a printer via TCP instead of via the parallel port or via USB, I’m getting nowhere.…

Just blew the dust off an old PC in the basement, and after more than a bit of work, now have a fully-functional Linux desktop running SuSE Linux. Will provide links and feedback tomorrow – but so far, I’m pretty impressed. (This is a far cry from my first attempt at installing Linux – Red…

Hi there… Been quiet for a few days, will be back to normal posting in the next day or two. I’m not quite sure what to make of this, but thanks to that scream, this ended up being the most popular week in my blog’s history, with more visits this week than in all of…

Just got interviewed by Farhad Manjoo at Salon.com, who I’ve spoken with in the past and who wanted to know whether I felt that Dean’s defeat in Iowa meant that the Internet “lost” Iowa, or whether the Internet’s ability to make a difference was overblown. No on both counts. The Internet proved you could mobilize…

If I were Joe Trippi, I would have spent last night on the flight back to NH forcing Howard Dean to watch Dean’s “concession” speech in Iowa. Again. And again. And again. Try listening to this audio clip more than once. Go ahead, I dare you.

Well, to paraphrase Josh Marshall from another election, that really could have gone better. It seems to me that the big stories to come out of this caucus are: Gephardt and Dean slaughtering each other in the week leading up to the caucus. Dean, as frontrunner, absorbing the majority of the attacks from the press…

You can also watch one of the caucuses live on C-Span right now.
