One of my favourite TV shows is ending next week. I watch quite a few Japanese animated (anime) shows, which are recorded, translated, subtitled and distributed by enthusiasts over networks like BitTorrent, often within hours or days of being shown on Japanese TV. The distribution is a fascinating process in itself, actually - the most […]
Fred Lepied had a chat about our new roadmap with Club members a few days ago. I have edited up a list of questions and answers from the log, and it’s included here. The original log can be found here for reference. Where I have something to add or clarify, I’ve inserted editor’s notes. Some […]
I went go-karting last night, for only the second time ever. It was great fun, except for the second race when I was running at the front with the best lap times, then got stuck behind some Sunday drivers at the back and had to pootle around ten seconds off my previous pace for the […]

Quite where people got the idea that it meant we were abandoning the free download edition and so forth I don’t know, […]
Note: I always refer to Mandrakelinux as MDK because we can’t legally call it “Mandrake” and Mandrakelinux is a pain to type. So MDK it is.
So we announced the new release schedule for MDK today. 10.2 to be renamed 2005 and made an interim release before the integration of some Conectiva stuff and the start […]
Hi. I’m Adam. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with my partner Sammy.

I’m writing this blog because it has so […]
