Happy (Holiday Name Here)

Time for some quickies.

• Our friends at Aperture Labs have a great holiday message.
• Enjoy Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 2.
• I gave up and finally signed up for twitter.
• Anyone else finding Facebook becoming a pain in the ass chore to visit? I don't want to be a vampire, pirate, or a ninja. I just want to keep in touch with my friends. FFS.
• People have wondered how Simplifymedia differs from something like Firefly. The key difference here being that Simplifymedia works over the internet. My username is whiprush btw if you want to friend me.
• Bazaar is now 1.0. If you've had performance problems with bzr in the past, now is the time to revist bzr, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the improvements. Congrats to the bzr team!
• I am really liking Mozilla Weave. I have it on my laptop and my desktop and I have synced goodness. A much better implementation than the google sync thing.
• I have become addicted to Smallville on HDNet. I think it's interesting to get all this back story on Supes. It's WAY too corny, but I love it anyway.
• Iain's sense of humor always makes me laugh.
• If you're in the midwest US, make sure you register for penguicon, while it's still cheap!
• Banshee trunk is your Jesus.

Merry Christmas to everyone! (Except for DrPizza, who doesn't believe in Christmas, because he's a heathen.)

No, I don't find Facebook a chore to visit. I have my profile page bookmarked, thereby skipping the "home" page, which is where the annoying invites appear. Every once in a while, I check it out, and maybe even add an app I find appealing. And I'm a good netizen, and don't spam all my friends with invites every time I join something or another (just that one time... and I felt bad doing it).

And let me know when Simplify starts working with Amarok ;-)

Merry Christmas!
