Back on 17th

Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend. Sonya, the girls and I are now moved into Ottawa and I begin the JCD coursework this Thursday. Spoke with the telephone guy this past Thursday, and our phone and internet access should be hooked up on the 17th, at which point I will begin blogging and answering email again. In the meentime, here’s a little something to keep you going if you’re looking for a canon law fix: Surprised by Canon Law.

  1. Hmmph! The site is not Firefox-friendly:
    “This presentation contains content that your browser may not be able to show properly. This presentation was optimized for more recent versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.”

  2. Looks like those of us who don’t use a platform with IE available on it, or who just choose not to use it, are SOL. Hmph indeed.

  4. Sure thing. The stblogs.org web server (at pagezone.com) runs Linux, MySQL and Perl, and the logo graphics were made with The Gimp.
    Anyway, the link just goes to a blurb about Pete’s (other!) upcoming book.

  6. You use a Linux distribution, Coward? You mean you don’t download the kernel from Freshmeat, compile it, then download the dozens of supporting drivers and programs from their respective sites, then compile them, correcting any version incompatibilities as you go?
    You probably didn’t even write the command shell you use, either.

    I know, I know. It is the epitome of shame and cowardliness that I am so lazy as to not build my own distribution. If I were a U.S. Congressman, I’d feel compeled to resign. :::sniff::: I knew that it was bound to come out sometime, considering my overwhelming fame, but I never thought I’d let it slip out myself. Bad Coward, bad!
    And alas, I also did not write the command shell that I use; I don’t even use something cool and ubergeeky like zsh, but lame, boring, pedestrian old bash. Oh how can I live with myself?

  8. The “You probably didn’t even write the command shell you use, either.” part of my last post was supposed to be italicized as part of the quotation. Sorry about that.

  9. For your penance, PFKAAC, you can join the volunteer team for the Polish distro PLD.
    Eric will really be on my case now: I’ve become a Linux girlyman by switching from Slackware to Mandrake 10.

  10. You switched from Slackware??? That was my first distro — and I got it to work on an IBM PS/2 Model 57 with a MicroChannel bus architecture. (True story.) Slackware isn’t all “commercial” and “easy” like your “Mandrake” with a “working installer” that “people” can “use.”
    [Full disclosure: at work we have several dozen Linux boxes running a highly-modified version of Red Hat. And by “highly modified,” I mean “so much that you would have a hard time recognizing it.” But it is still Red Hat.]

  11. Red Hat 5.1 was my first distro, though I couldn’t get the sound working until I got my hands on 5.2.
