After the recent rebuild of my personal server, Mrs. Entropy, I had been getting strange hard drive read errors and the root partition would remount itself as read-only. I would have to reboot the server twice, once to manually fsck the partition (it was ext3), and again to actually start it up. This was starting to wear extremely thin on me, as it’s not worth having a server if it needs to be restarted twice every day. So, having had prior, good experience with the XFS filesystem, I decided I’d switch my two ext3 partitions over to XFS (/boot and /).
The other day, a friend sent me the link to the Shakespeare Language, which caused me to reminisce quite heavily about my own esoteric programming language that I designed in high school.
I made the executive decision today to stop using dwm. It’s kinda sad because I really like the concept. However, it just doesn’t do what I need it to, and it’s less flexible than I’d like (and no, I’m not going to bother hacking it. I don’t have the time for that). I’d still like to investigate other tiling window managers such as Xmonad. However, dwm just leaves me feeling slightly oppressed at the end of the day. So, here I am back using Gnome (at least until October when KDE4 comes out).

I recently downloaded and installed the public beta of Safari 3 for Windows. Below are my feelings about it. Please remember that a number of these are matters of taste, and as such, comments telling me that I am wrong about those points will be ignored/deleted/etc… Read on for the full post.
