Hey everybody The site now powered by Habari v0.5 and Dorset Nagas! Yaaay! How Frelling Boring! I love blogging. I love Habari. But I have to admit it is very slow coming. It’s been two years now, and we are only half way to a finished product. Granted Wine has been in development for what… 15 years? Only 2 months ago did they finally reach v1.0.

So no, Habari may not be the slowest developing software. But it’s damn close! And you know what? I think is pretty damn close to ready. Just a little testing an polishing for a couple of months, and they could skip to v1.0.

Seriously v0.5 is great. It’s a massive improvement from v0.4.1. Congrats guys, keep it up.

Also I may have a good photography job lined up for tomorrow. I’ll be back after, with all the details.

I just recently read a bunch of people bashing Microsoft and Vista on Slashdot. Nothing new about that in general, but this time I read things like No computer people use Windows any more, they all use Mac or Linux.

Well I'm a computer person, and I use Windows Vista. I'll tell you why I don't use a Mac. People including my self call Microsoft Monopolistic. Apple makes Microsoft look kind and inviting. From day one, Apple as a company thought they were better than everybody else who made any kind of computer anything. They develop their own proprietary software and hardware. Not only do they not share their developments with anybody they also refuse to let anybody make competing products for their systems. Microsoft pretty much limits them selves to PC software.

Once you buy a Mac you are 100% dependent on one single company for virtually all your hardware and software needs. If they don't make quite what you are looking for, tough. They get to tell you what you can do and how much you will pay. That is absolutely undeniably monopolistic. If they held 90+% of the PC market the the government would absolutely split them into different companies, as they thought of doing with Microsoft.

And I don't use Linux because I shouldn't have to spend 20 minuets or an hour getting a new piece of hardware to work. Granted that is not Linux's fault as much as most of the hardware and software makers not supporting it. But what ever the reason, compatibility is still a big Linux issue.
