Linus on OpenBSD

Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can’t stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.

–Linus Torvalds

I don’t really know the current OpenBSD folks well enough to agree or disagree, but it sure is funny.

Found while poking through Songza.

Pickin’ & Grinin’

Black Raspberries

Black Raspberries

Mandy & Jack headed out with some other folks from the playgroup yesterday and came back with these beauties from a farm just up the road from our house. We’re planning on making a cobbler and possibly some jam out of them, if they last that long. Next to mulberries, these are my favorite for pickin’ & eatin’.

Archives are back

After a long, winding and thorough hunt, I’ve finally managed to locate the archives from my old blogging software. There were encoded in a strange dialect (DasBlog’s XML) so I had to write a little tool to do the conversion to WordPress. The converter is just a bit of C#; If you want it, lemme know.

Along the way, I realized that I needed a better way to exhibit all of these wonderful articles from the past. I don’t really like calendars and most archive pages seem to involve too much paging, so I borrowed a page from Mark Pilgrim’s book and put up one page with everything, separated out by year and month. I rather like it.
