En guarde! Enjoyed fencing for the first time ever this morning. Note to self: Try not to skewer your opponent, too often. #

OK I admit it. The #N900 is a great device. But it only goes so far for as a workstation. Sometimes a laptop is needed for heavy work. #
Feeling so much more productive. Sorting and fighting back my inbox. Yes I’m a firm believer of #InboxZero. #
I wonder if I can get away with having a mobile office. The more I read about freelancing, the more I want to try it out. Guilty pleasure? #
Hmm… The more I read about freelancing, the more I’d like to try it out. Guilty pleasure or doable reality? #

Gah. 4:40 is way too early to get up in the morning. But it is for a good cause: http://tinyurl.com/3xmgbp3 #March4Life #Ottawa #

More news about #Steam coming to #Linux: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODE4Mw #
Still swamped. Too many tabs open, too many e-mails to get to. #

@ddevine #Steam is coming to !Linux… So I guess there is hope I’ll get to delete my XP partition and boot into Linux to play #HL games. 🙂 #
@philmacfly @ddevine Here is the second hint http://ur1.ca/wgso We won’t know for sure before a formal announcement. But there is a chance. #
@theancientgoat No for sure, nothing is definite until you get your hands on a copy. But it would be sweet. #

@khajavi Thanks for mentioning this. I was wondering why #Firefox was doing this, especially since I develop !Java web apps. Time to update. #
Sure I feel like I’m just plodding slowly along. But I am going forward. I’ll get ‘there’ someday. -Memoirs of a Stone Tortoise #
Just discovered what #LDAP is. Feeling kinda silly, like rediscovering America. But it is brilliant. #
Time to sip tea and clear out that inbox. #

@damiga Nice… same !kde !linux distro, Mandrake 7.2 for me. Wow, has it really been 10 years already? #
OK, one machine setup. Time to take on some code and another setup. #
Catching up on all the #shotofjaq shots. When I finish one I want to grab another. Does that make me a Jaqeholic? 😉 #

Time to delete the cruft and to backup the data. And then goodbye #kubuntu, hello !opensuse !linux. #
@seeds I’ll definitely miss the debs. Not a big RPM person. But right now, for me, the best !kde experience is most likely on !opensuse. #
@bigbrovar It better be. The whole distro is coloured green. 😛 #
Morning! Busting out the hacking music for a glorious day of coding and sysadmining. And endless coffee refills. #
Finally coerced sshd and nxserver to start up together at boot. Set sshd on boot first, then install nx*. I blame nxsensor. !opensuse !linux #

Alright, time to do a live trail of !opensuse 11.2 on my main desktop. Wonder if it is an improvement over the modified #kubuntu 9.10. #
Hmm… so the trick to get Live USB is to use #UNetbootin. Well it is worth a shot. !opensuse #
