Jonathan backslash

After last post I received a bunch of feedback both via (buggy) comment system and via email. People wondered about my support of Jonathan and pointed out some posts by him, like http://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2004/07/msg00217.html. That in my opinion is the type of post that the DPL should be acting harshly against. Personally. On a case-to-case basis.

Migration finished

Hello again dear Debian Planet! I have a surprise for you. While you were not watching I made myself a brand new shining blog using the fine Mnemosyne software. It is a blog written in Python that uses Kid templates and a lot of wonderful pythonic magic (for uninitiated) that generates a set of XML [...]

DPL platform runthrough

I think more people should just publish their thoughts about platforms of our DPL candidates so that we can have more visibility and insight (and a reason to actually read those platform statements). Thanks go to MJRay for the idea, however I will try to be a bit more biased so that this post conveys [...]

60 rants

To get my blogging up to a more regular schedule and also give you something to read that everyone could relate to, I decided to start regular commenting on the latest in 60 minutes

Stem Cells

I must say that I have not been following the stem cell research closely enough in last couple of [...]

Testing blogging from GMail

This particular post is being written from GMail, transfered to my blog server by email, processed by some massage scripts and then integrated into my blog without me doing much about it. Neat ne?
Pārbāūdīšu arī rāķštīšāņū Latviešu valodā.
Убедитесь в том, что вы готовы встретиться с любой проблемой, возможной в этой ситуации.

This concludes language testing. [...]

Migrating from Blogger to your own Mnemosyne blog

As I decided to migrate my blog from blogger.com to my own blogging software on my own domain, I did not want to leave my old posts behind. As I had more then 150 of them, I had to do some automation to do that within my lifetime.
The first step is to get the data [...]

The hockey fever has begun

With the opening of Turin Olympic games, the sport fever is officially on. Especially it is the fact in Latvia – this year is the ultimate hockey year: our team is in the Olympics and we have the world championship in our capital Riga in a couple months.
Tomorrow we have a chance at medals in [...]

Firefox backing up.

Superball/bowl.

Superball/bowl.So … I tried to understand what this american football thing is all about. What got me interested in it was an anime from Japan called Eyeshield 21 where a boy that ran errants for bullies his whole school life goes into american football as a runner with his great speed and agility. That get [...]
