The poor dears!

This article is hilarious. Some guy at the Wall Street Journal has decided that, never mind the tens of millions of people in the world not sure where the next meal’s coming from, or the millions in the U.S. who’ve been forced into bankruptcy through inability to pay medical bills, or who are living on [...]

more hockey, of course

Watching Rangers / Caps game 2 – just a note: although I picked the Caps to win this series, that’s just who I thought would – I’d *like* the Rangers to win it. they’re a good team, I like Tortorella, and they have the great Markus Naslund now. I just couldn’t see ‘em pulling it [...]

Glorious

Lest Greg think I have no grounds to mock him tonight – may I just point out the Mighty Canucks have won exactly twice as many playoff games as the Carolina Zephyrs. And none of them has required overtime. OH YES I DID!

Bug trawling

Spent large chunks of today and yesterday trawling through the intel, nouveau and radeon bug lists to do some triage and try and get a feel for where we are for the F11 release. Now my eyes are somewhat glazed! My current feeling is that radeon has a pretty long list, but comparatively few really [...]

Letterman preview

Reading the news this morning, hit a story about Hillary Clinton offering a day with Bill as a prize in a draw to raise money to pay off her campaign debt. Couldn’t help thinking…I’m betting one of the jokes on Letterman tonight will be some variation on “but if you read the small print, that [...]

What’s happening on the Poulsbo front

Well, since this blog has become a bit of a clearing-house for Poulsbo (GMA 500) graphics issues, I thought I’d post a quick update to what I know is happening. The main thing is this: a few places (including here) have mentioned that Greg Kroah-Hartman has been doing some Poulsbo-related work, including proposing several patches [...]

Awesomebar oddness

Those of you with long memories for AdamW-related trivia may remember that, when Firefox 3 first came out, I hated it with a passion, mainly because of the Awesomebar. These days, though, I rather like it – they made it fast enough that the “click one entry, get another” bug doesn’t really happen often enough [...]

2-1

So I’m posting this in the Red Hat category despite it having nothing at all to do with Fedora because you guys all need more hockey in your lives. And also to rub it in Greg’s face. I’ll hook you up with a link to the Canucks team store later, Greg! Canucks win 2-1 in [...]

Presto Test Day tomorrow!

Yes, it’s that time again – tomorrow is Presto Test Day. Presto is the planned Fedora 11 feature which uses deltarpms (essentially packages which contain only the changes since the previous version of the package, not the whole data, to reduce size and increase transfer speed) for updates. Obviously we need to make sure this [...]

Intel Test Day statistics

Following up my earlier post, the python-bugzilla was fixed, so here’s the Intel numbers: 20 bugs were reported as a result of the test day. As of now, 13 (65%) are in ASSIGNED state, 6 (30%) are in NEW state, and 1 (5%) is in CLOSED state, with the resolution DUPLICATE. So rather lower than [...]
