I just upgraded to wordpress 2.6, and I am also now using the base theme. I know I have not posted in a while I have been working on another project, but I do have a post in the works.
Edit: let me know any problems that you find with the blog due to the updates.
This summer I am lucky enough to be doing an internship with the Citizen Lab at the Unervisity of Toronto.
The Citizen Lab is an interdisciplinary laboratory based at the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada focusing on advanced research and development at the intersection of digital media and world civic politics.
The Citizen Lab has created such software as psiphon, and I have great respect for the work they do to keep the internet open. I was lucky enough to take a class with Professor Ronald J. Deibert and have Nart Villeneuve, who I will be reporting to during my internship, as my TA. Im really looking forward to it as this will give me a chance to work on software in a very diferent enviorment, and maybe even push some GPL code out into the wild. For more info about the Citizen Lab see the video below.
Edit: And as an extra bonus it seems I will get to code in python!
I got my Ubuntu Hardy Heron T-shirt Today. I will try and post some pictures soon. Maybe even update with a new hackergotchi.
<rant>Although I get to use Linux mostly for work and personally, there always comes a time when I need to use Windows. It could be that I need to write a program for Windows, or that I have a friend, or family member that needs windows for something. This is one of those times.
What frustrates me most is that I’m trying to install Windows on a laptop that came with Windows Media Centre. That laptop has a Windows Media Centre key but I don’t have the Dell disks that came with that laptop, and I know I can order them from Dell and at the end of the day I just might have to do that (and end up paying for it). But what annoys me most is that including the Windows key on the bottom of the laptop, that I’m trying to install windows on, I have three legit Windows XP keys but cant get an install working. I have an MSDNAA Windows XP key, as well as the Dell XP key from the bottom of my laptop and what annoys me is that I have three valid XP keys and I cant seem to install XP.
I have no media center disks, annoying and I really don’t want to used bittorrent to download them. I don’t feel like I should have to steal software that I own
The MSDNAA ISO and key came from two different people, eg its my key buy my buddy burned the ISO when he got a key, maybe that’s causing the problem I will burn my own copy and find out.
Obviously my laptop is OEM for XP pro and cant be installed on another computer even though I have never used it.
Guess this is just another reason I use Linux, I find this so annoying. Microsoft/Dell should really have a website that I can find out why the one key wont work as well as download ISOs. I know this is the way things are and that me wining about it is not going to change anything but I really just wish if I had a CD key I could download the ISO and use that key on any computer (only one of course). This just makes my windows experience more painful and makes me want to avoid Windows more.</rant>
I don’t want to update and spam the planet again by removing the fact that I think I fixed one of the issues.
