Here’s a list of Open Source Projects in Mac OS X.

I wonder if/when they’ll add MySQL?

Now that the home office is in the basement, I’m discovering a few things. The sound of the space heater isn’t too annoying, but what is annoying is the sound of the furnace, especially when the heat from the furnace is essentially ignoring the basement and traveling to the rest of the house. The basement gets the bad side of the furnace (the noise) and very little of the good side of the furnace (the heat) so all I can say is Argh…

It is nice to have a controllable lighting situation, and cable television in the office. In the summer it should be cool enough down there (let’s hope so since the whole furnace/air conditioning/ventilation thing could present more issues.) I’m mainly worried about the fall when the bees come to visit. I’ll try not to think of it for the next 6 months…

Oh, the desk now has three computers and three monitors on it. When they’re all turned on and running SETI@Home it looks like a remote office for NASA…

From The Register: nobody ever got fired for setting up a Linux web server

Slava, the main developer of jEdit, is now 19 years old. jEdit 1.0.1 was released in 1998. Slava was 14 years old when he started working on jEdit. Did I mention jEdit is an extremely impressive text editor? Well, it is.

And the next time someone says “What’s with the kids of today?” tell ’em to shut their pie-hole…

Happy Birthday Slava!

(btw, I didn’t make this cake, it was sent to the jedit-users list…)

From Wired News: House Votes to Outlaw All Cloning. This is really bad news. I mean, who among us here hasn’t used Carbon Copy Cloner at some point? Damn, back to ditto I guess…
