We had a great time at scale. I am giving up a lot of weekends and early mornings to have even more stuff up on sourceforge for next year's Scale. Linux revolutionized the technical world and we are hoping that free open source applications like ours will revolutionize the business world.

I gave you the CD to replace the failsauce--er, Ubuntu. ;) Anyway, I did some checkin' around, and I was right -- that CD is too old to support the weird Jmicron PATA/SATA controller common on earlier Intel C2D/Xeon motherboards. In fairness, at the time hardly any other distros had a LiveCD that worked with the hardware. There actually is a BIOS setting to make it work; you have to go into AHCI mode rather than the legacy mode, but yeah . . . grabbing an Ubuntu CD was easier. :) Also, I've no idea why my fellow developer copied the screen rotation goodness. Perhaps because it could be done? And he was without a mouse only for a little while -- he was borrowing mine, and once I left, he had the world's shortest mouse cable. Didn't even reach the table. Anyway, was good to see Gnome across from us. I use it. I like it. Good thing KDE was nowhere near us. Woulda spent the whole time heckling . . . "failsauce!", I say!

True - I am interested! He’s apparently trying to get help on the Mozilla Linux Platform mailing list and trying to integrate a bunch of stuff. Assuming that he does, it will be a great way to get some more great integration when you’re using Linux. Being able to connect extensions to other services on the desktop and being able to use them to affect your web experience sounds pretty good to me.
