Sun’s advice to Microsoft

Published: 16 May 2007
Hahaha, this tickles me to death. In Jonathan Schwartz’s blog, he writes: So what’s my view on this interview in Fortune—in which one of Sun’s business partners claims the open source community is trampling their patent portfolio? You would be wise to listen to the customers you’re threatening to sue—they can leave you, especially if you [...]

put up or shut up

Published: 15 May 2007
I’ve been so disgusted since yesterday evening when I found out that Microsoft is alleging Linux of patent infringement, but today a few articles have calmed me down: This is, to me, Darl II: “Our precious IP is worth beeelions, and you must honor our sacred intellectual property, which is behind this curtain. We can’t exactly [...]

being P.C. is often doubleplusungood

Published: 11 May 2007
I was just reading an entry on The Blog That Boredom Built about how the author calls herself childfree, meaning she has no children and doesn’t want any. I don’t care one way or the other about that, but I do take offense at the perceived necessity for 1) a label to apply and [...]

back when men were men

Published: 7 May 2007
I was just reading on Snark about how Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy is sooo dreamy. I don’t understand how; I really don’t like the emo look on guys. Leave the girls’ jeans to the girls, damnit, and cut your hair! I think it creeps me out partially because I dislike [...]

Sacred-Nights.com

Whoa.. I’m here already? Well, to conclude this review… whew.. what to say? With the exception of some minor things to improve on, your website is definitely on my list of “top few websites that Trisha visits frequently.” To be on such a list is almost near impossible, so you know you’ve a special website on your hands.

If a site has an overall pleasing layout and structure, then I think focusing on the little details is an important next step. I tend to react better to a site if I can tell the owner has put in a lot of work.

It wouldn't be difficult to incorporate a variety of colors, or at least two additional ones (the sunshine and the plane text), and I think it would really spice up the layout. It would help to add interest and make the overall look of the place brighter and, I think, friendlier.

Catty humor can serve a purpose later on in your site when your visitors already feel comfortable there. If you insert it in the middle of your 'about me' page, for example, then the user will most likely come across it after having read a few paragraphs about you.

stupid Fedora, grumble grumble

Published: 22 February 2007
Eric S. Raymond knocks Fedora, and I’m all about it. I hate that bloody distribution but I see it everywhere. How it got established as “the Linux to give to newbies” is beyond me, because it’s ridiculous trying to install anything in a Redhat-based distribution. Even the non-newbies still choose Fedora, which [...]
