Leslie doesn’t like it if I get too technical on here, so I started a separate Tech Diary Blog. It’s really a place for me to keep notes on what I’ve done, so that I can remember what and why two months later. I try to put in good comments as I go, but it’s hard to remember each file that I had to modify when I’m making further modifications later.

So, I’ll keep my geek rants out of here from now on and put them there. (OK, a short rant here: This was inspired by a total failure of an update on Edubuntu from version 6.06 to 6.10. I’ve spent hours on what should have been a 10 minute job. Some of that has been trying to recreate what I did in the past, but most of it was due to a bungled upgrade path by the Ubuntu team. It seems that they don’t spend enough time testing distribution upgrades…)
