Dole: info@elizabethdole.org Senator Richard M. Barr: web form Don’t live in North Carolina but want to contact your representative? Look them up! You may want to drop a line to both candidates running for the presidency as well. I did!
Something interesting happened today. As my wife and I talked about the economic bailout during dinner, we didn’t notice that Yv, my soon-to-be-seven-year-old was paying close attention to what we were saying. The following is a pretty close description of the dialogue that followed: Yv: … where are they getting US$700? Me: They’re taking the mine from us and every other family. Yv: Have they asked you if it is ok to do it?
I felt compelled to blog about this great site full of amazingly professional Inkscape screencasts! Screencasters.Heathenx.org is an amazing blog that I have been following for a while and I highly recommend it for those who want to learn a trick or two or for anyone who wants to see a well done screencast!

BillReminder has attracted a new enthusiast who has brought a lot of interesting ideas to the mailing list. The coolest part is that we both share a lot of ideas in common and I have already started to write some code to pave the way to more reporting and some true home accounting features. After spending some time changing the charting module from the hamster-applet project to do what I needed, I came to learn about a pretty cool project for graphing with Cairo and Python called CairoPlot!

Congratulations to all parties involved!!! As always, you can count on a 100% translated Brazilian Portuguese edition!
Just created the following Ubuntu Brainstorm idea called “Translation workflow and collaboration with upstream”. It is based off the blueprint I created a while back in an attempt to improve the relationship between Ubuntu and upstream translation projects. Everyone who knows me well knows how important translations are to me! How I strive to get people to always work with upstream and then let their work trickle down to distributions!
