Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, or take the opportunity to be extra-ordinarily kind of thoughtful of others in the winter holiday.
I read on a random blog At least those who do celebrate it, I don't want to offend people that don't. Well, to those who don't, I hope I have offended you. I hope my free-willed, open wish of happiness caused you insurmountable suffering.

I'm sitting on my old desktop (450mhz) running an old Knoppix CD since the machine stopped booting. Things are unbelievably slow, but all I'm trying to do is organise my files so I'm surviving.
Anyway larswm is on this Knoppix CD and I've never really used it before but it is interesting. I haven't got into the tiling system yet to draw comparisons with ion but it does have a fairly neat feature where you can send the window to the top-left by pressing a combination + '7' on the keypad, or + '3' for bottom-right.. basically preset window locations can be selected and they're bound to the keypad in a logical way.
I did some tracing through PWM (which still holds a special place in my heart) to better understand how the MOTIF hints stuff works. Getting borderless windows working will be such a milestone for the WM..

Just read the end of Xenocide by Orson Scott Card, the second sequel to Ender's Game. I was very dissapointed come the end.

I thought it would be interesting to compile my 3rd year project to ELF using gcj.
My general impression of Java support in the FOSS world is poor - and bugs like this one certainly don't help to counteract that impression (note that this bug is CLOSED).

I finally got all my Italy holiday photos uploaded and added to the gallery. Click on photos to see 'em. I haven't done rotations and it is a massive undertaking so I may give accounts to my family members and ask them to do a few :)
