I have been getting some interesting feedback about my Repetitive Software Injury entry on my O’Reilly blog. Thanks for the feedback and email I have been getting. I also had an email from a chap who said that he has implemented some support for RSI prevention...

Sun seem to be getting an aweful lot of flak recently from people. Not only did the venerable Eric Raymond stick the boot in about Java but now Pamela Jones from Groklaw has polished the steel toe-caps and sunk them in. PJ’s complaint seems to be based upon the...

I am just writing a web browser roundup for Linux Format and Paul (the chap who commissioned the article) informed me about the Firesomething add-on for Firefox. This is great. I am currently browsing the web in Mozilla Seastarfish. Maybe this add-on was the...

I started trying to get Garnome working yesterday. All was going well until it barfed on some kind of Mozilla/GTK/Gecko library that is not packaged for Debian. This is going to involve hunting out some kind of patch and applying it. I will look into it tonight if I...
