Is there any way to convince yum to downgrade a package? Especially relevant since evolution is all busted in rawhide. To downgrade Evolution I did an rpm ‑e followed by a yum install of a specific Evolution version, but that didn’t help and so I’m guessing I need to downgrade gtk2; rpm ‑e gtk2 is […]
Stephan Binner mentions the KDE for Red Hat project and complains about the current official Fedora Project packages. I would like to see the KDE for Red Hat project be in charge of the official packages to be honest. I think it’s been discussed before and I don’t really know what the status is or […]
Watched In Good Company again tonight. I really like this one. (This post was originally found at http://log.ometer.com/2005–06.html#29)
Scott McNealy: We have a strategy that’s very different from everybody else’s, and it’s community development. The way we say that is with the S curve in all our new literature. It’s not for Scott, it’s not for Sun, it’s for “share.” We’re grabbing that word and saying, of anybody, we own the word “share.” […]

Finally back home. GUADEC was great this year, and the first Red Hat Summit was a big success as well.

According to Comcast On Demand, “Elektra is an assassin always on a mission to kill, but when forced to decide between good and evil she finds herself fighting mystical and relentless ninja assassins.” (This post was originally found at http://log.ometer.com/2005–05.html#25)
D‑BUS seems to be getting adopted by third parties more quickly than by the original intended audience. First Skype and now Maemo. Maemo looks like a really interesting project, I clearly need the Nokia thingy to run it on. Pete, it’s not just for ads. Even nonprofit or ad-free sites will have either whitespace or […]
Dom, you’re making a screen-real-estate-based usability/design argument. If I ever wrote down a Havoc’s Guide to Software it would include “design arguments based on real estate are totally weak.” In this specific case, text filled across a whole screen or page is hard to read. That’s why newspapers have columns and most online magazines restrict […]
