This is where I record my personal impressions of various things; sort of a slow-time blog. I update it every now and then when I get around to writing something down, but the collection does not grow very quickly. See also the CONSUMERMAN archives for focussed reports concerning products or services.

  • Glowing remarks about a most-wondrous refinishing firm in the Raleigh, NC, USA area: Pender's Antiques & Refinishing
  • Ramblings about my experiences with Linux
  • Ramblings about my writing experiences
  • Ramblings about 'free software' and 'open source'
  • Ramblings about the Apple AirPort
  • Experiences with the ultra-cool VMware software package.
  • My feelings about the Magellan MAP 330 GPS (Global Positioning System) handheld unit.
  • Ramblings about RhinoSkin's aluminium hardcase for the 3Com Palm V
  • My trip report for my visit to Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, to give a presentation about Apache
  • Some not-complimentary remarks about Remote Communications, Inc.
  • The amount of spam I receive has grown to beyond one hundred (100) messages per day; here's a description of deal with it.

    Apache Week Rants

    I'm a sometime writer for Apache Week, sending them rants -- not popular nor politically correct -- about various things having to do with Apache and open development. Here's an assemblage of the rants in HTML form.

  • Random thoughts about the effect of recent events (i.e., terror attacks and the consequences) on the virtual world; what I'm currently calling the open dielectric.
  • A rant for Apache Week about the changes in the Apache development process.
  • Another rant for Apache Week, this time about the unheralded removal of sources from download packages.
  • A rant for Apache Week about Apache 2.0's stability (circa 2.0.32-dev).
  • A report for Apache Week about my visit to the NordU2002 conference in February 2002 at Helsinki, Finland.
