I wanted to wish everyone out there a happy new year.
Hopefully you all had a relatively safe night and didn’t get too drunk during the celebration.
On the flip side you just might gain superhuman programming ability for the duration of your drunken stupor according to xkcd. If that is the case, we will gladly put you to work on Openbox for the night :p
Now it is time to get off my virtual soapbox for the night and fulfill the task of petting and reassuring my two greyhounds that everything is okay since the fireworks are scaring the crap out of them.

Every so often I get an impulsive desire to try something new and yesterday morning was no different.
While sitting at the computer and catching up on my RSS feeds I decided it was time to take zsh for a spin and thus my adventure for the day had begun.

If it’s easy to learn and easy to use, how come people are still installing Windows on the EEE PC?
I was chatting with a friend who just installed Windows on the EEE PC. His family would prefer to use Windows over the customized Linux installed on it by default.
Ah well.
But it still doesn’t mean that Linux sucks, right? It’s more like Linux still hasn’t really gotten enough mindshare yet so people don’t know that they could use it without much trouble if they only give it time. Then again, people would want to be able to use something immediately so if they’d want to be more productive with it, they’d want something more familiar. It’s human nature, I suppose?
