Do computer book sales correlate to language popularity? The story arguing they do also has some really cool graphics. Be sure to read the comments at the bottom too.

robbat2 has set me up with a Gentoo blog category RSS feed. I’ll be asking the Planet Gentoo people to replace my feed with it as soon as I get subjects rewritten to contain the proper token. Big thanks to robbat2 for being such a pimp.

It seems that Planet Gentoo readers have a problem with me posting about things that aren’t related to Gentoo on my blog. So I’ve asked to have it removed from that Planet.

If you’re interested in following what I talk about, either go to Planet Freedesktop or directly to my blog.

If people reading my blog from a Planet have a problem with how on- or off-topic it is, let me know and I’ll have it pulled from there. At least until I have some time to waste setting up categories at some site besides LiveJournal, which apparently doesn’t support them.

Incidentally, it’s fairly annoying that everyone who has problems with me has chosen to remain anonymous in comments.

Thanks.

I kinda feel like Motorola sent out some press releases recently. On cnn.com, two of the four “personal tech” stories are about Motorola, and not anything particularly new. The Razr’s been out for a while, but they both relate to it in various ways. The first is essentially a history of the cell phone, and the second’s lede looks like it was copied straight out of a press release.

Physicists found the “most nearly perfect” liquid ever observed. Apparently that means it’s almost nearly perfect, but not quite near. Perhaps that means it’s actually perfect, if it’s mostly near perfect. Not really sure.

Daniel, indeed. I’d love it if random other distros started using my X (or whatever) packaging. Until they started filing bugs in Gentoo bugzilla asking for free support so they can charge to support their users, of course. =)

It’s 1:20 a.m. and I have a biophysics midterm at 1 p.m. that I haven’t started studying for.

Looking forward to it.

Seems like this feature could be pretty interesting for emulating cluster architectures: screenshots.
