But things don&#8217;t always turn out as planned. I quickly started using Vertumnus as my exclusive desktop PC, booting the Windows machine only to [...]]]></description>

Since programming is one of my hobbies (as well as my occupation), I inevitably started fooling around with it and have already come up with something useful.

The upgrade was pretty smooth, with nothing much to report except that my system now boots without requiring the all_generic_ide kernel parameter, which is nice. One problem that I immediately started seeing, however, was that my system would freeze up terribly whenever [...]]]></description>

Stephen Fry, famous British comedian of Fry &#038; Laurie fame (that&#8217;s Hugh Laurie, the actor who plays Dr. House on House), has released a celebratory message to GNU on its 25th anniversary.

This will be the first chance for a non-proprietary video codec to really break into the mainstream. Combine Firefox&#8217;s now-native [...]]]></description>

As of last night, out-of-the-box support for the Ogg Theora (video) and Ogg Vorbis (audio) open format codecs was enabled on the mainline Firefox development branch. Here&#8217;s the exact diff.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m making good progress on my novel for National Novel Writing Month, about my participation in which I&#8217;ve previously blogged. Incidentally, that previous sentence is a good example of why it isn&#8217;t a good idea to always obey the &#8220;no prepositions at the end of a sentence&#8221; rule, a rule I&#8217;m planning to make lots [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ran into a bit of trouble recently on my new Gentoo GNU/Linux laptop because I accidentally set the date a whole month in the future, and then proceeded to install lots of packages before realizing my mistake. I corrected the date, but then I was left with a slew of clock skew problems. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m installing Gentoo GNU/Linux on my Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop right now, and as usual, things never are as easy as they would seem. I finally found out about and installed the 915resolution package, which allows me to use the laptop&#8217;s display in its native widescreen resolution. Then I ran into a problem with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally got fed up with my store bought alarm clock. It just wasn&#8217;t smart enough. It didn&#8217;t understand the difference between weekdays and week nights, and every time I forgot to turn it off before going to bed on a Friday yielded a most unpleasant experience when it started blaring on Saturday morning. Likewise, [...]]]></description>

He points out that profit margins are very low on these products, and that co-marketing funds from Microsoft make up a significant proportion of the profits. Without these funds, the profit margins on machines are so small [...]]]></description>
