Steve Gillmor interviews another fake Jonathan Schwartz (CEO and President of Sun Microsystems). The video was produced by 1938 Media.
I heard about this video from an interview on episode 274 of The Linux Link Tech Show with the current project manager for the Fedora Project. I don’t know what to make of it. Maybe if I kept up with the linux/political/business trends this video might have been hilarious! For those NOT in the know, it’s pretty dry, geeky, humor… “I’ll buy that for a dollar!”

I’ve run into this issue from time to time and I would normally have to reboot. So; one day I said, “No more! This is LINUX and I should be able to work around it.” Oh!? What issue am I talking about? When your GNOME panel gets stuck and there’s nothing you can do about it! I’m going to show you how to kill your gnome-panel process and then restart it. Note that it’s only a temporary solution – I know there’s a better way, but this will do for the time being.

What does my blog title mean!? How can the awesome GNU/LINUX be associated with that dirty dirty word, “proprietary”!? Well you’ve heard the terms “cutting edge” and “early adopters” before – it usually means having the latest and greatest, but knowing that it’s not perfect. I experienced that recently and the experience was a bit sobering. My adventure involves two of the most major components of the Internet! Well the two most important components for viewing the Internet – Firefox and Flash Player.

Today is the day, my wife – Katina Ferguson – is giving birth to our third child. Her name will be Monica Valerie Ferguson. We’re now at the Piedmont Fayette Hospital in Fayetteville, GA and things are looking well. Our adventure started today at 1:10 AM when Tina’s water broke, from there it’s been getting the kids together, asking my brother and his wife to help, etc. I’m posting to all my social networks (Twitter, Rejaw, Plurk, Pownce, etc) using Ping.fm and posting photos on Flickr and Facebook.
