This thread was on reddit about a month or so ago, but I didn’t stumble on it until just recently. Basically, the thread talks about the dreaded tab character, and it’s effect on Python code using different editors. I have pasted the items I find most interesting.
It’s amazing the philosophy changes that one [...]

Because you have to register on that site to comment on that article (registering on sites, just to comment is ridiculous), I am opening up comments here. I am curious what the community thinks about IBM using ODF to secure Lotus Notes in the market. Frankly, I find it mere speculation without proof.
Discuss.
Ok. Maybe this is just me. Even if it is, it’s enough to keep me from using the Windows operating system.
When running Windows, if I want to burn a CD, I have to walk on egg shells to get a clean burn, otherwise, the burn fails, and I have to start over. [...]
Today was a big day for me. It was the day I started a new job. What’s that you say? Yessir, I am no longer working for Venture Data, but I am now working for introPLAY.
introPLAY is a startup company, and I am employee #3 out of 3. We are looking [...]
This should be a no-brainer for most geeks, but it was a slap in the face for me today. While at lunch with a coworker friend of mine, we were counting employees at our place of employment and how large the turnover has been and the size of it currently. As we were [...]
It’s time to step it up with security when signing emails digitally with your GnuPG/OpenPGP key. For the longest time, SHA-1 has been the default hash for signing text documents. However, SHA-1, a 160-bit strength hashing algorithm has been broken. The tough thing, is there have been plenty of collisions with SHA-1 [...]
I’ve blogged about this many a time, and yet, the same chime rings. How many of you are Open Source advocates, yet use proprietary protocols, formats, files, and software? It’s one thing to be anal about Free Software, it’s another to preach the Good Word, and not follow it yourself.
Anyway, I’m not putting [...]
I’m going to embarrass myself today, and post some hack-ish Perl code using recursion. Actually, because the code is only 35 lines, I think it turned out actually fairly well, but as I am a Perl n00b, I am sure that the experts out there will disagree with the quality of the code.
First and [...]
One of the subjects that has been bugging me as of late to post to my blog, is a new project that myself, Christer and a couple guys from Ohio are starting. The project is the United States Teams Project (USTeams).
First off, what is a LoCo Team? A LoCo Team is an Ubuntu-specific [...]
Well, I have been putting of blogging, because I wanted my next post to announce my membership. Well, I’ve been approved by 2 out of 3 people, and I’m just waiting on the 3rd and final vote. Hopefully, it comes sooner than later, as I am getting anxious, and I keep checking my [...]
Well, it’s official. I’ve added myself to the chopping block. I’m asking for Ubuntu Membership on Jan 9th at 2pm. This is a big step for me, as Ubuntu has become my lifeblood. Yes. Essentially, my second wife.
Applying for membership isn’t easy, and I feel that I still [...]
I’ve blogged on and on about Irssi, the single best IRC client out there, as most of you would agree. The reason it is so great, is the sheer number of features it has. There is no other client like it. In fact, here is a quick and dirty Top 10, why [...]
