I know I am very late to the Xen party. I try to stay on top of the life changing software, but there have just been so many new things out there over the past two years or so. I tried running a Xen kernel a while back under fedora core 6, but there were [...]

I like it here.
++ Living on Roosevelt Island…. cheaper; higher quality foods… katz pastrami in any form… – The staff at Gabes school taught him to refer to Native Americans as “Indians”. They need to be corrected, and I need to find a better school for him. I thought that I would be able to try public school [...]
Google released the Android SDK today.
They have sample code and videos on the website. The points that I have gathered so far include… Android applications are meant to be coded in java. They used eclipse in the sample video. I can learn java; this should be fun. There is support for Opengl ES; this means if the hardware supports it [...]
Wifiroamd manages wifi connections under Linux.
Last night I rediscovered wifiroamd. I had been using OS X for so long that I had forgotten what it was like trying to configure wireless under linux; let alone have some form of functional roaming from work to home.

Is it me or are time warners domain name servers in Rochester slow as hell?
