I think this would be a great benefit to the FOSS world, not just Ubuntu, and I hope that there is some interest among the Red Hat, Novell and Debian crowd, all of ... http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/2008/05/13/the-reason-why-ubuntu-would-modify-its-release-schedule/ Today I was reading the news and ran across a link to something called The Evangelical Manifesto.

I'm not sure, but I'll try anyway. :) I have a new project. People who move away from their country or culture of origin to live in another culture for any amount of time will understand what I say when I comment that ... http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/2008/05/08/this-world-is-not-my-home/ I get a lot of my news via rss feeds.

This is good enough that I have to share it. Yet another reason I love Ubuntu...if only I had a Hardy ... http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/2008/04/29/another-reason-to-love-linux/ If you have upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1, you may have discovered a bug that hit a lot of people this weekend.

You can reset a WP password manually, ... http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/2008/04/27/i-upgraded-to-wordpress-251-yesterdayand-a-bug-was-found-today/ Sorry about the length of that last post. I thought using the "more" tag in WordPress would cause only the first couple of paragraphs to be carried by my rss feed, like it does on my blog front page...I didn't expect the whole, long thing to end up on the ... http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/2008/04/26/apologies-to-my-planet-ubuntu-friends/
