Well i told Johnny K he’d be among the first to know what was happening, so y’all can go and look here for THE news.

Well, I can’t quite believe this but the Broadcom 43xx based wireless interface in 12″ Powerbook finally works in Linux thanks to the hard work of the people at the Broadcom 43xx Linux Driver Project. Now I won’t have to swap between OS X and Linux anymore. Whilst OS X is a fine operating system, I still love Linux more.

I’ve recently taken to searching for myself on Google. Thankfully my real name has managed to stay under the radar somewhat, but the results for “mumart” look to be a cause for concern.

The curious mumart-Googler will be delighted to discover:

1) A pair of obscene and pointless blog posts, which may lead the reader to question my sanity — and probably reach the correct conclusion.

2) A dreadful piece of poetry. A product of past events, of which I am not proud. Unreserved apologies to all concerned.

3) That I was banned from Hydrogenaudio for an obscenely poorly judged anti-Microsoft troll. I was never much of a debater. Well, Hydrogenaudio is not as good as it used to be — far too many idiots. Shame I had to be part of the problem…

4) A consuming yet ultimately unproductive fascination with the “demo scene” and “tracker” software.

5) A picture by someone’s mum. Mum Art. Hmm.

I suppose part of the problem is that I’m not very outgoing, so I’m usually compelled to post by something emotional. Which so far has meant either anger or melancholy.

So, the question remains, what can I do to salvage my reputation? I think I’ll bury it. Under crap like this.

It’s my work Christmas Party today, which means I am going to hurt. It all kicks off at 11am with a glass of wine or two in the boardroom, followed by leaping onto coaches to get to the Hilton for a meal followed by a few more drinks, and then back to work to go to the pub.

Ouch

Tell me please, oh lazyweb, does Solaris (any version) on SPARC have a way of doing NFS-Root in the same way that Linux does?

Ok, more Space Cadets stuff…

Take a look at the profile for Ryan, one of the unsuccesful Space Cadets and then take a look at this Blood Donation advert and tell me that the bloke with Gordon Ramsay isn’t the same person.

Fishy?
