ATI Radeon Mobility Xpress 200M 3D accleration--finally!
YEEHAW! For the first time since upgrading to edgy, I now have 3D acceleration on my laptop with my ATI Radeon Mobility Xpress 200M! And the best part is, I am using the most up to date driver, 8.32.5! As an added bonus, I am able to use the 128 mbs of memory on the card as well as an additional 128 mbs of shared memory! This is the first driver from ATI since 8.24.8 to work with this card. Maybe AMD is gonna do good work with ATI. I hope so. Progress, even after a year, is always nice.

Yea me!

Time magazine's person of the year: me (and you)
Time magazines person of the year mentions linux, open source software, and podcasting in the middle of the article. I told my wife I was named person of the year by Time magazine; she was not impressed.

dang that looks better!
I saw this post about how to enable smooth fonts on ubuntu linux, and tried it out. WOW! This made a major improvement. I am sure that this works on on distros other than ubuntu. I had a little trouble at first as I copied and pasted from the instructions on the page mentioned above; the quotation marks were wrong. After fixing that, there was a very noticable improvement.

I don't know my right from left
I just realized that every post where I reference a link on the right hand side of the page was in error. The links that I referenced have always been on the left hand side of this page. duh.

TLLTS #172 impromptu guest appearance
I had the privilege of being an improptu guest on last night's (12/20/2006) episode #172 of The Linux Link Tech Show. Honestly I don't make a good guest, and often wonder why on earth the TLLTS guys would ask me to call in. I don't feel like I am an entertaining guest. and feel like I don't have anything interesting to say. Chess Griffin, host of The Linux Reality podcast was also a guest; he is far more entertaining.

I would like to thank Dann, Allan, Pat, and Linc for having me on the show, and Chess as well for sharing "air time" with buffoon like me. Thanks you all for your wonderful contributuions to the GNU/Linux/FLOSS world, and for being nice to me too.

afuse sshfs automounter for ubuntu edgy
From the afuse website:

"Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using FUSE. Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can be expected by an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual directories. If one of these virtual directories is accessed and is not already automounted, afuse will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will fail with an error."

Comment spam continued
After wrestling more than 4 hours with authen::captcha, GD module, some kind of carp:cgi thingey, interpolate_fancy, and a couple of different captcha blosxom plugins, I have given up (for now) on the blosxom, captcha plugin route, and am sticking with my somewhat lame, brute force, home-grown solution. I have made the math problem in reverse polish notation, assumming that scum-sucking comment spammers don't speak rpn. I am not sure how well this will work, but we will see. Sorry for the extra step, but it is necessary. If you can't read rpn, just email me your comments. Thanks.

Let's see how this works....
I have taken crude (and quick) mesasures to combat comment spam. Time will tell. More than likely this will eventually fail. I didn't take the time to get a proper CAPTCHA blosxom/pollxn plugin up and running. This was quicker. If anyone is reading this, let me know how it worked (i.e. leave a comment)

Podcast 26 will be out sometime in the next 7 days or so :-)
