A thank you
Jono William Aloycius O’Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager and general all-round grand bloke today announced the Ubuntu rebranding. I’ve known about this for a while, because the Canonical brand is being refreshed too and we as a company were shown the new designs and asked for comments a few weeks back.

Welcome to my humble abode
Hello. If you’ve been here before you’ll have noticed that I’ve changed things a bit; moved the furniture around, repainted the skirting boards, stripped the old wallpaper and removed the artex from the ceiling.

Brief request

Why I Hate Freedom
Alright, alright, I admit it. I hate Freedom. Stuff your open source philosophies, your Free Software Foundation, your Libre / Gratis. Knackers to the lot of it. I want a Mac. Yes, I do, I want a Mac. I want a shiny, shiny MacBook Pro in all its aluminium unibody glory. I want to fondle [...]Archive

Inline awesome
Originally posted over at the Launchpad blog. For the last million years1 or so I’ve been working on a cool new feature for Launchpad Bugs: an inline, AJAXified, asynchronous dupe finder. For quite some time now people have encountered timeouts or long response times when trying to file bugs, particularly when they enter a long bug [...]Archive
