I promised an update back on Saturday, so here goes. I’ve corresponded with some of you directly (and if I haven’t done so yet, don’t take it personally!) in the past week or so, but just in case you haven’t heard: I’m no longer at Interface Software. Best way to reach me is by e-mail…

Howdy. There’s been a lot going on in the real world for me the last few weeks, leading to a much lighter schedule of blogging than I’d like. I’ll be posting more next week, and will follow with an update of what I’ve been up to.

I thought Dean did a great job on Meet the Press yesterday — much more relaxed than he was in June, much more in command of the issues (and willing to tell Russert when he was off-base). I still see a Dean nomination as a long-shot at this point (side note to Mike at TopDog04…

Going back several months, the conventional wisdom was that having too many Democrats in the race would just cause them to bloody each other up, leaving them winded and broke and unable to fight President Bush’s war chest. But a new reality is emerging: because the race is contested, because of the remarkable twists and…

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…
