Return of the Mac (again)

Thursday, October 31st, 2002

Woo-hoo.
Without warning, an extra brown box showed up sometime when I was away for lunch. Inside, my Mac was sitting there with a work repair order saying that they fixed things. Sure enough, they replaced the LCD, backlight, and something called an "inverter" (not sure, but maybe it is to illuminate the glowing Apple logo [...]

Can’t sleep: Theme fun!

Thursday, October 31st, 2002

…So I found some interesting things while surfing around (as usual).
BluecurveTM, the new theme I designed for Red Hat, is available for GTK+ 1 and 2, Metacity, KWin, Qt, XMMS, GDM, icons, and other various parts of the Red Hat 8.0 system.
Maybe the next step is to make Bluecuve available for other things as [...]

Sour Apple

Thursday, October 31st, 2002

My new laptop is still off in Apple-la-la Land. I still haven’t heard anything about it, nor has it made its way back to me. It has been a week now. This is the second time I had it shipped off. The first time, I had them fix several problems already.
In the mean time, [...]

Past few days…

Thursday, October 31st, 2002

I’ve been in meetings for most of the week so far. Actually, the whole thing was put together impressively well.
For the past few days, I’ve also been hanging out with Blizzard, the Mozilla wrangler and the Nautilus-hacking Alex from Red Hat a bit while each visited the city. We talked about Mozilla, Nautilus, and [...]

Fall Tour 2002: I went, I saw, I took some pictures

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002

I made it back to Raleigh safe and sound.
Bad news: Everything malfunctioned. My camera was giving me errors ("Error 01"), my cell phone stopped working for a number of days (and when it did work, I was on a super-expensive roam), my new laptop’s backlight for the display died so I could not see anything [...]

On the road again…

Tuesday, October 15th, 2002

I’m currently on vacation. I left town on Saturday and Will be back sometime next weekend. I have my camera with me, of course, so you can expect some really cool pictures soon. I have already taken quite a few interesting ones.
I’m currently visiting Stan (aka "ravskel") up in Pittsburgh. Julian (aka "x-virge") is also [...]
