After the recent heavy rainfall and flooding, I really didn’t expect to be flying today; especially since the airfield was a little wet a few days ago. The weather forecast throughout the week was quite hopeful, fairly consistently indicating no worse than light showers, and this remained true this morning.
Of course, the sky outside [...]
Havoc’s keynote at GUADEC was extremely interesting, especially for how it polarised the people present.
Several people seemed very upset with the notion that f-spot should be replaced by flickr, but I think that was a problem with the way that Havoc presented the message, and not the underlying idea.

My mail server configuration has remained pretty static the entire time, and controversially, I’ve always used qmail.
The reason for this dates back to my first [...]
Look what happens; the whole world goes “carbon neutral” mad, planting trees and burning Jeremy Clarkson instead of Fossil Fuels and what do we get? A summer so wet that you can pick up the “dropped sausage” as it floats past the barbecue. I want the global warming back, at least then it [...]
