Alleged Sabotage by Canonical

Tue, 28 Nov 2006 23:23:52 GMT

Well, I should say I don't appreciate Mark Shuttleworth's post to the OpenSuSE mailing list too much. It might be okay for most of you, but I feel it's tasteless. I have a naive side.

Besides, the real surprise was JP Rosevear's counterattack for Mark's post. JP argues that Canonical actively sabotages the development of Debian, e.g. by preventing the Debian GNOME maintainer from updating GNOME packages until after Ubuntu LSO had shipped. Again, it might be okay for most of you since Canonical hired him, but it still gets on my nerves somehow.

The funny part of this story is, some of OpenSuSE people seems to know things about Debian which I don't know.

BTS got a bug

Trying to read Debian Bug#394350, it says:

An error occurred. Dammit. Error was: Bad bug log for Bug 394350. Unable to read records: state kill-init at end at /usr/local/lib/site_perl/Debbugs/Log.pm line 205. .

Hmm...

Going home

I have still two more sessions (and city tour finally) today, but basically this is the last day for me in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I'll leave here late tonight. It was a fun trip. Met lots of nice guys. And the conference was more successful than I expected. I'll write up the whole trip later.

Give it a try

Once upon a time, I had a blog in Engr^Hlish. I installed blosxom on my rental server and it was pretty cool. Simple and nifty. For a while everything went quite well.

Soon I abandoned it. After registering Planet Debian, my old blog was heavily spammed by those bastards somewhere around the world. I don't need Viagra (at least for now) and I don't have any relatives in Nigeria. And at that time I couldn't figure out how to fight with them efficiently. Even now I can't. I don't want to disable comments or trackbacks, since that's almost the only reason I wanted to have a blog. Also my rental server was so poor that always memory space was running out. And suddenly I became very busy after all. So I just threw it away and forgot about it.

Now I need an English blog again. And this time I don't want to hustle so much into just setting up the blog system itself instead of writing actual blog entries. This LiveJournal seems to be good enough for me, so I'm gonna just giving it a try. Logjam is neat, btw.
