Any political party with a history has legendary heroes. For the Republican party, one of these is President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was the 34th President of the United States of America. Last week, his daughter Susan Eisenhower wrote an article for The National Interest online, on why she is voting for Barack Obama, and declaring her intent to leave the Republican party for good (and register as an Independent).

Dear Civilized World, I want to express my great apology with the comments of our ”elected” leader yesterday during the G8 summit. I would like to inform you that we here in the United States do take pollution very seriously and, at the local and state levels, we are very committed to reducing the amount of pollution that we generate. We were quite offended and surprised by George's remarks at the meeting on Thursday, and we can assure you that he will be dissuaded from such outbursts in the fu…

I received my XO from the OLPC Foundation last month. It is a pretty neat little device, and I'm still learning all the little pieces that the bundled applications have to offer. I joined up with their developers network to see about contributing. Recently I actually managed to get the Sugar interface building under FreeBSD. I still need to do some work to get it running, it seems, as the python sugar shell doesn't seem to want to run (it silently exits, with no error code).

I've so far been able to get Sugar to build under FreeBSD. Running it, however, proves to be a slightly more elusive accomplishment. I am confident that I should be able to get it to work somehow. For now, you can visit the following sites for further info:

Here are a bunch of recommended software tools, many of these I use daily with great success. Think of this as the ”Coleman Filter” for software apps. The listed/reviewed softwares have received my stamp of approval. * FreeBSD - Great UNIX-like operating system. Available for many architectures. * Mathomatic - Pretty nice, fast, small-scale Computer Algebra System. Not as many features as Mathematica (though some may call it bloat). * xup - Free software programmer for Spartan-3E Xilinx …

freebsd:amd64_compatibility - add info that I am providing disc images for HP 6715b and friends

FreeBSD has tier-1 support for the AMD64 platform. Unfortunately, the mobile scene is a bit different. The available options are nice, powerful machines, and sohuld be a perfect environment for FreeBSD. Note that some of this information may be out of date. Please email me with any updates.

I've just put up a gitweb at . Currently it houses my local FreeBSD changes, and two branches to track HEAD and RELENG_7. It was a snap to set up and now it is quite helpful for providing numerous patches I've had on my site out to others.
