Thoughts and ramblings

Wow, You know when it's been a while since you've posted on your blog when you forgot what it looks like..

I haven't been able to get much time for blogging, as I was brought on full-time at my new job, and had several projects to work on. Unfortunately, this means I also put Nanobyte on a backburner for a bit too. I was hoping for an alpha release of the CMS this month, but that likely won't happen now.

The weather in Wisconsin has been bitter cold, with random snow storms. I've forgotten that people's I.Q. seems to drop about 50 points in the winter.. must be the cold air hitting their brain. 2 days after a snow storm, I saw 4 cars spin out on my 12 mile drive to work. People just need to learn to slow down, and that they wont get there more than a few minutes faster by going 10MPH faster than they should be.

After all my hard drive issues, I finally got my server (Taranis) back up and running on OpenSuse 11.1. I must say, it has some nice features. It came with the drivers for my HP Photosmart 2700 printer built right in, and I haven't had any issues at all with it. I also use the same distro at work as my main desktop, and it works fairly well, but I had a few issues specific to development work.

I found out today that the jQuery Help forums that I help moderate might become the official jQuery forums. That is exciting news, and I hope that it happens, as the forums jQuery has in place at the moment seem to be lacking.

On a final note: Nanobyte will be available under the Mozilla Public License (MPL) beginning with the Alpha release of the CMS. I believe Open Source is what drives the IT world, and I plan on keeping it that way.
