Oh, the irony!

I actually bothered to read the (currently) top posting on Linux Lore, and it is advertising a utility for converting LiveJournal postings to Blogger ones. Eh, whatever. Not like I need that. Being a Linux bigot enthusiast, I figured he would be distributing a Python script, or something equally unusable.

No, it's better than that.

Wait for it...

It's a Windows executable. With an installer and everything!

Oh, yeah baby. He's a Linux guy! Right up to the very edge of the point where he (or someone he loves) needs to get some work done.

Heh.

Heh.

Heh.

Linux, what?

So, the thread starts with me listening to a podcast called "The Gadgettes", and they mention Ubuntu Linux. Something about the "explosive growth" of it or so. I've been using Linux on and off since late 1992, so it would be natural for you to expect that I would be an advocate of it.

You'd be wrong.

My current opinion is that thousands of highly motivated, yet unpaid volunteers have managed to implement a big, slow, buggy operating system that does a pretty good fraction of what the operating system built thousands of higly motivated, highly paid employees of Microsoft. Part of the problem is that I've been using Ubuntu on my Linux computer at work for about the last three years. Boy, do I wish I had all that frustration back.

Anyhow, while setting up to write an update, I found a page that called "Blogs of Note," and it mentioned a site called "Linux Lore." I only thought it worth mentioning because he lists his location as "Kenmore, WA", which is where I am currently residing. That may not seem so special, but Kenmore is truly a worthless piece of townshipness. It really should just be part of a real town, but someone wanted to be mayor but lacked the self-esteem to try running against anyone else, and so now there is a whole city hall (built out of a run-down strip mall) and everything. Yay.

Long time again.

This time it's been such a long time that I had to switch to my google account in order to post. Well, I might not have had to, but the old one was really flakey, so I'm hoping that this new one will be flakey in less annoying ways.

I've seriously lowered my quality expectations, so expect to see lots more posts in the future. Horray.
