(This post is from Advogato, which I no longer use.) 4 Apr 2000 » Woa! The diaries are getting out of control. Decided that coding the solution was the correct course of action. Defeated by the far too obvious solution that the GNOME anon cvs details are in the general FAQ and not in the…

(This is a re-post from Advogato, which I no longer use.) 1 Apr 2000 » Went to breakfast this afternoon, and saw a Very Weird Thing. The table next to me was occupied by what I thought was a guy and his teenage daughter. Nothing remarkable about that until they started holding hands about 10…

(This is from Advogato, which I no longer use.) 29 Mar 2000 » Went home about 21.00 last night and downloaded and compiled 2.3.99pre3 on my Alpha.

Windows NT 4.0 Manageability
[ Copies of some of my older work for a SAGE-AU column ] A short column this month as I’m pretty pressed for time and working against a tight deadline, which I’ve definitely abused this time (sorry Donna!). This month, I’ll be dealing with the remote management blues. You’ll need a copy of the NT…
