No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
What? Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later... Boom!

Blogging will be light here at Ambient Irony for the next week or so.
But that does not mean I've left you without reading material! Whether you are looking for edification or entertainment, the growing list of Munuvians (over there --->) is bound to satisfy.

Tell me is the list going to be growing much more in say the next week. I'm already five behind.

I'll see if I can work out how to make the official blogroll a bit more flexible so that you can use it. Easier all round that way.

Well, I'm taking some time off work, anyway. But that's so as I can work on MuNu. :)

Shouldn't we be sorted in some fashion? Alphabetized, or divided into bite-size categories (by subject matter, for instance)?
That's probably just me being anal-retentive and silly.
I assume there's a list somewhere that I can copy, so I don't have to build this segment of my new blogroll from scratch. Perhaps I could work on the "bite-size blogroll" problem myself . . .

There are two lists available: http://munuviana.mu.nu/mu.js which is in chronological order, and http://munuviana.mu.nu/nu.js which is alphabetical. We didn't need a bite-size one before now. :)

Fedora Core 2 Test 2 Released
One bug, two bugs, tar bugs, su bugs,
grep bugs, mew bugs, old bugs, new bugs.
This bug has a little hack,
This bug has a broken stack.
Say! What a lot of bugs to track.
Yes, some are in tar, and some in su.
Some are old. And some are new.
Some in sed, and some in jed.
And some are even in parted.
Why are they in parted, jed and sed?
I do not know. Bugs should be dead!
Some in jpeg, and some in TIFF
This TIFF one has an attached diff.
From there to here, from here to there
Test release bugs are everywhere.
Fedora Core test 2 is available for
x86 and x86-64
It should not be installed where production is hot;
use it only for test, as we say quite a lot.
If you install with the default
SELinux will be the result
SELinux is a form of MAC
For more answers, check the FAQ [*]
By explicitly stating what apps can use
Unwanted accesses it will refuse
[*] http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux -faq-en/
So please test test2 in this mode;
and please test it with your code.
Plus it comes with a new GNOME;
can you test that in your home?
Also X.org is new,
replacing XFree, test it too.
And 3.2.1 of KDE
We need to test, test, test, you see!
So we will test it on our box.
And we will even test out sox.
And we will test it in our house.
And we will test it with our mouse.
And we will test it here and there.
Say! We will test it ANYWHERE!

Good move putting the Frank J fanclub site on mu.nu. This way, at the crucial time you can exert your influence to displace him as ruler of Planet Imao . . . but I'm not supposed to talk about that here, am I?
Scratch all that. Yay!

Proudly Presented By
This week's Nyquil™ Bestofme Symphone is now appearing at
Rocket Jones and there's a lot of good stuff there. Ted's a bit under the weather, so I think a cheery sing-along is in order.

I think I may have worked out how to make money by hosting blogs for free.
Not a lot of money, admittedly, but I'm not greedy. Well, I am greedy, but I'm also pragmatic. Small amounts of money are still good.
Stay tuned, folks. Lots of cool new stuff coming to MuNu in the near future.

Honorable company. I already have a blogfriend among them.
Just everyone's luck that this happens to be a uniquely burdensome weekend, but I am looking forward to making the muve.

Sixth......nihilism. Or is that redundant?

Are there still nihilists around?
Dumb question. Of
course there are still nihilists around.
We can strap them on the roof with the other ideological baggage.

Gadget of the Day
This is just plain nifty. The
Netgear WGT634U may have a dull name, but it is shiny and packed full of goodness.
It's a firewall and a router. It's a 4-port 10/100Mbit ethernet switch. It's a 108Mbit WiFi access point. And if you plug in an external USB disk drive, it's also a file server.
I haven't found an Australian price for it yet, but in the U.S. it retails for around $150.

Thanks A Lot, Sitemeter!
I'd noticed that of late my Sitemeter numbers hadn't been growing very fast. I put it down to my writing being less scintillating that I'd like.
Apparently, though, scintillation is not the issue here:
Grr! Grr, I say!

That looks like one of those programs you get on exercise bikes at gyms. Or so I've been told.

Now that's just WRONG! I stop by EVERY day, so obviously there's a problem with sitemeter...

Heck, one of your March 16th posts got 7 comments--between the 16th and the 19th, when you had NO visitors! You must be magic...

I'm using four different site tracking services (2 of which came with my site host), and all four have different figures. So don't feel too bad.

Even when it's working "correctly" it only picks up about 2/3 of the actual visits. It also doesn't snag aggregator hits so anybody reading you off of xml (um...like me) won't count. Plus, if you're loading slow and that graphic never gets loaded the visit doesn't count. And they go through periodic periods of crap in unexplained and mysterious manners.
Then again, it's free.

Been goin' thru the same shit.
Stat Counter kicks butt.
You should try it.
In the last five days (since I had it installed), it has counted 560 hits, compared to Site Meters 246, in the same amount of time.
Another lady I have blogrolled (My b/f is a Twat) has had the same problem. Site Meter dropped 4000 hits off her total.
What is UP with them, anyway?

Cool. I've put Statcounter on as well. Let's see how it goes!

I seem to have pretty good consistency usin' SiteMeter, but unlike most, I have it way up at the top of my page, so that is is one of the first things to load. Besides, I know that I get like 1700 people a minute readin' me on aggregators anyway, so those numbers are just for show to the hometown folks. ;)
