My friend Jay promised me a bit ago to put his mad design skills to use on a new design for PrincessLeia.com. He came through today as expected and after work I excitedly wrote up the template html, which I installed this evening. The result? See for yourself: A-ma-zing!!! Thank you Jay! It’s about time […]

Ubuntu at Best Buy: Package Details
July 8th, 2008 by pleia2
I learned this morning via #ubuntu-us that they’re now selling Ubuntu at Best Buy, and couldn’t help myself: during my lunch break I swung out to Best Buy to drop $20 on a copy. It wasn’t easy to find, I spent about 10 minutes searching through their software section, past their big Microsoft Windows Vista […]

Ubuntu Pennsylvania MythTV Seminar
June 30th, 2008 by pleia2
Last year Matt Mossholder held a very successful MythTV seminar using Mythbuntu for the Ubuntu Pennsylvania team. Due to the great interest in the community and much remorse from folks who missed the first session, we hosted a second session on June 21st. The session went very well, with approx a dozen people in attendance, […]
PhillyChix Meeting
June 26th, 2008 by pleia2
Last week we had a PhillyChix meeting for the first time since the Girls Inc Event last year. It was pretty much just a social meeting. Danita Fries and Stephanie Layton were in attendance with me, and though the meeting was small we had some really great discussions ranging from Stephanie’s Debian packaging, to general […]
Ubuntu Women Project Status – Mid 2008
June 24th, 2008 by pleia2
The last time I posted a status update on the project was August 2007. As an advocacy project, we don’t make the swift changes that development projects make, but I’d like to comment on that previous post and move forward with what we’ve accomplished in these past 10 months. The primary concerns in the last […]

LedgerSMB on Alioth! Reviewers and testers needed.
June 1st, 2008 by pleia2
After spending several months working on this, including overcoming several hurdles and resigning to the fact that it simply couldn’t be included in the next Debian stable release due to database version issues, I’ve finally uploaded a .deb to Alioth. The .deb is lintian error free (w/ 2 reasonable overrides), but it still needs auto […]
Password Management?
March 3rd, 2008 by pleia2
Between work, play, and community involvement, I’ve now officially passed the threshold of reasonable password management. I’m constantly checking my brain, irclogs, stashed emails and scraps of paper to find various passwords. It’s a mess, and in a lot of cases causes me to drag my feet on tasks because I have to search for […]
