People apparently keep asking my wife if I am enjoying law school. (I haven’t spent much time on the phone myself.) She doesn’t know how to answer, and perhaps I don’t either yet, because what I’ve mainly been saying is that I am surprised at just how time-consuming it is thus far. I haven’t yet […]
Check this out. The Slashdot Discussion of SCO’s peek at the allegedly offending code is an amazing illustration of the power of the internet. SCO claims some of their copyrighted code has been stolen and put into Linux. When they finally offer up a public view of the allegedly offending code, it takes only a […]
If you don’t know what your government is doing in your name, then read this interview with Sherman Austin who is going to spend a year in Federal Prison because he hosted a web site the FBI (and his judge) didn’t like. Somehow they read his mind and discovered evil intentions. Judge for yourself whether […]
Friday I attended the Free Software Licensing and the GNU GPL conference at Stanford’s Law School (mentioned in my previous post.) It was a very good conference. It struck just the balance I had hoped in that it was not just on the obvious basics of the GPL and it was also not in […]
I’m overjoyed. I’ve got my LinkSys WPC11 Ver 3 Wireless PCMCIA card working with Debian. It’s the first time I’ve gotten this card to work with any distribution.

On Friday I’m heading over to Stanford’s Law School (you can tell Boalt Hall hasn’t indoctrinated me yet!) for a Free Software Foundation Conference entitled: Free Software Licensing and the GNU GPL It was covered on Slashdot recently. The virtual flyer for the day says,
This program is designed to offer lawyers and businesspeople, […]
I’ve been sort of out of the news loop lately with all this moving and unpacking, and I just realized that I can go to the LinuxWorld Expo tomorrow (and Wednesday and Thursday if I like!) It’s in San Francisco, so it’s a simple BART ride for me! Woohoo! (Ok. I realize it’s geeky […]
Moving recently was probably the worst experience of my life. Perhaps this means I’ve lived a charmed life, but you haven’t heard yet how bad the move was. I’m currently fussing with U-Haul to try to get the price I paid for this fiasco reduced. A truck with no A/C, broken speedometer, broken odometer, no […]
