Anyone currently using the Mozilla browser who is looking for an un-bloated (browser-only) alternative might want to take a look at Phoenix. It’s still VERY early in its life cycle, but I’m already digging it.
(Yes, the first site I tried out on it was g-blog.net)

So, I’m listening to www.cnetradio.com right now, and they’re talking about a linux distibution called Lycoris.
I’m thinking about trying it out.
WTF?
I saw this EXACT SAME thing happen when I was trying to get to the jossh web site from work as well. (only with jossh.com instead of g-blog.net) I think my company’s DNS is getting FUBARed
glue.g-blog.net and forum.glue-g-blog.net were both affected, but jsut plain g-blog.net seems to be fine… except for the mysql errors I seem to be getting now…

Gossip pointed me to an interesting Jabber Bot. I’m using my own RSS feed to test it out.

I just downloaded and burned a copy of Knoppix.
Basically it’s a version of linux desiged to be run off of a CD – no installation needed.
I’m now running a KDE desktop and writing this entry from within Konqueror. When I’m done, I just shut down, pop out the CD and boot back into Windows.
neato.
