I’ve been doing GHOP tasks for the Gnome Online Desktop. My most recent task was to code an email stock for Bigboard. There’s a snapshot at the bottom of the post.
I’m about to begin working on a new app soon to edit and “remix” fdo iconsets. It’ll be the Linux equivalent of CandyBar. If you’re [...]

In order to work on my latest task for GHOP, I need to do some coding in Python. I’m attempting to learn the language in under two days while I’m on vacation at the Dead Sea with limited internet access. So far, its gone (going?) surprisingly well.
I’m reading over Dive Into Python (a free book [...]

I know the name sounds a bit awkward and geeky, but GHOP is a masterpiece move by Google in the endless game against Microsoft. I may just be a pawn, but that doesn’t bother me one bit.
For those of you that missed it, Google announced GHOP (Google Highly Open Participation) about two weeks ago. The [...]

I haven’t posted for the past few days, and (for once) it wasn’t for a lack of topics. Bad Behavior (a plugin for wordpress that is supposed to block spam bots from accessing your website) started blocking me from logging in. Several of you may have had your comments blocked.

For those of you that haven’t been following on the Awn forums, I wrote Awn Terminal, my first applet for Awn, last week.

Instead of listing [...]

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is scheduled to be released in about 24 hours. One of Leopard’s key features is a much improved gui and design that has been hailed by many as revolutionary.
Mac users and Apple [...]

If you don’t understand why you should bother to install Linux then please see this post. If not, then you’re all set to go.
First I’m going to explain some technical terms:
A distribution, as Wikipedia explains, is a member of the Linux family of Unix-like operating systems comprising the Linux kernel, the non-kernel parts of the [...]

As I’ve mentioned for the last week, I’m writing a large article explaining how to install Linux on your Mac.
The main question that people ask me is “why?” Many Mac users are 100% satisfied with OS X and don’t see any reason to install Linux. There’s a good article here that gives ten reasons to [...]

The tutorial on Linux will be coming soon. In the meantime, check out this screenshot I just took of Ubuntu Linux SE and Compiz Fusion running on my iMac G5.

Take that Apple and Micro$oft!

I’m busy test-driving my Ubuntu Linux installation. I originally installed Ubuntu on my Mac a few months ago, but I didn’t have that much time to do anything with it. Now that I’ve got the time, I’m test driving it like crazy (and I’ve had a few crashes already).
In the next few weeks I’m going [...]
