So back on this topic again today.  I am going to take a look at a few different statements here in this post, and then I’m going to go over them and explain why these statements are or are not correct.  Should you wish to verify any of my information, you’re more than welcome to [...]

Frequently enough, I see people forwarding messages to mailing lists that were intended to get to the ML in the first place, but didn’t happen due to some configuration issue or whatever.  There are people that think this is fine, this is workable, and it is correct.  I happen to disagree, but discussing this in the context of [...]

Richard Stallman. That’s right.  Now, there are many things that the man has done that have been effective, and the man has worked hard to ensure that we have freedom in the vast world of software.  But recently, he has stated that Miguel de Icaza “is basically a traitor to the free software community,” and [...]

AllTray is a rather small project—for the moment, there is a single developer working on it (myself), and there aren’t a terribly great number of users, though the users that it does have are most excellent.  For a long time, the users didn’t have the ability to observe the development processes for AllTray, nor did [...]

Windows 7 Sins.  It is the name of a campaign and Web site launched by the Free Software Foundation in a misguided (IMHO) attempt to publicize some of the issues in software choice.  Right from the start and without reading a word on the Web site, it says two things very strongly: Windows 7 commits [...]

This post is a bit of a “brain dump” of sorts for some thoughts that I have as to replacing AllTray with a more versatile, powerful, and robust tool to handle various needs of users when it comes to taking applications and docking them to the system tray. Why? I’ve used AllTray for a long [...]

Slashdot | Video Surveillance Tech Detects Abnormal Activity Yup, I did. It was Little Brother. Haven’t read it yet? Go, read it, I’m not kidding.

An article over at “Works With U” has an interesting thing that I have run into a few times before: And here’s another ironic twist: Consumers may actually prefer to pay for Ubuntu — rather than get it for free. No joke: Many consumers don’t like free software. They fear it. My brother in law [...]

Here is an interesting short article on ExtJS and the GNU GPL. First off, if you are a developer (open source, closed source, doesn’t matter), you need to know the area of licensing. You should actually have read, studied, and understood at least the most popular licenses out there, so that you know what you [...]
