Just saw this on the TriLUG mailing list:

There’s a new Open Source user in town. My wife and I spawned our first child process, Hayley Anne-Marie Minter, on Wednesday, January 22, 2003, at Rex Hospital.
She’s 7 pounds, 15 ounces, 18″ long, and quite the looker.
Baby pictures can be found at http://www.lunenburg.org/hayley/
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Linux discussion.
–Wade
Congrats!

So I e-mailed my buddy Coplan (the guy behind SceneSpot) about a thought I had.
I’m finally annoyed enough to do something about this. I really want to write some music again, but I’ve got so much I need to do before I can. I’d love to have a modern tracker for Linux or preferably MacOSX. Here’s what I wrote:
I’ve got something either for you to put in Static Line, or for your demo group, if you want something to work on… =)
The thing that keeps me from tracking right now is inertia. I had to base my Windows box a while ago and I pretty much lost everything I had been working on. I’ve got no samples, I’ve got none of my half-finished songs, I’ve got nothing but what I’ve already released and made downloadable. Nothing sucks the muse out of you more than having all your tools die. Every time I even feel the slightest desire to track, I can feel the heavy weight of a week of putting a #$*&@# machine back together and trying to get enough samples together to do something interesting. And . . . → Read More: Wanted: A Tracker That Doesn’t Suck

So it turns out I’m referenced in the commentary of the famous so-called “Halloween Documents,” an annotated response to a set of leaked memos from Microsoft on their plans for taking down Linux. In the Halloween 5 page, there’s a footnote pointing to a parody of a Microsoft interview on Linux’s low value proposition that I made long ago on Slashdot. I’ve gone ahead and put it up on my site cleaned up, since their layout has gone through a couple years of bitrot. It just totally took me off guard. Thought it was kinda cool. =)

For the Linux geeks out there, if you haven’t installed RedHat 8 yet, MY GOD the font rendering is beautiful. It comes pretty darn close to looking as nice as MacOSX’s if you pick decent default fonts. Mozilla is making builds for RedHat 8 with support for the Xft font renderer available in RH8, it looks just *incredible*. Also, if you haven’t checked it out, there’s an incredibly handy utility called cpan2rpm for making RPMs out of basically any perl module. It’ll do pretty much everything for you, it just saved me about 2 hours of work getting my system happy here at work. Yay!
