Mars on Earth or vice versa

The other day there was a dust storm in Australia that was the biggest in 73 years. It made Sydney look like it was on mars and made other places go pitch black.

I am in no way a resident of Australia. The following content is not mine.

Ubuntu 9.04 is a PAIN

I upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) yesterday and soar I have found four things I commonly use are broken/”fixed”.

nmap is broken in a way that makes it hard to read the output

Nautilus will not allow me to replace a folder with a child folder

Pidgin’s buddy window window plate shows on all workspaces even though the buddy window does not

Comix will not open archives inside of archives any more

I will probably find more in a day or so, but so far I just have complaints (I see no speed increase)

Offline reading

I just added the ability to read this blog offline if you have Google gears. I am planing to use the ability of Google gears to attempt to guess your current location ad display the weather in your location. Of course if you do not have gears installed you could still enter your location manually.
