Hello Beagle Planet!

Sidney The Happy BeagleAfter an itty-bitty little mix up over who actually ran the planet, I managed to get in touch with rlove, who quizzed me thoroughly on my morality, and then decided that it was indeed insubstantial enough to slip on by.

So in honor of be being bored and trying to put off a serious physics lab I present Sidney, a very cute beagle whom I know nothing about.

Official Member of the Gnome Foundation!

Yesterday evening I got my letter officially recognizing me as a member of the Gnome Foundation! I can't begin to express my extreme gratitude and thanks to everyone at Gnome. But I would like to take a moment to thank Joe Shaw, Lukas Lipka, and Debajyoti Bera for basically putting up with me as I bumbled around the beagle code causing general havoc and mayhem.

So, go check out the official membership roll, and while your at it, note one of the newest additions (Thats me ;) )!

Case Wiki, Zimbra, and Bounties

Well, I've been cooped up sick all day today, and as I get more and more restless, I started to just wander about the abundant Case subdomains. It was on this little adventure that I discovered the awesome EECS site. Now, obviously I had to know that when you come to a school like Case, and you major in Computer Science, your going to have some of this awesomeness, but there were bounties! In short, all the dumb stuff that I do to avoid homework could get me paid! (assuming of course the bounty site isn't horribly out of date, which I'm praying its not).

As my horribly boring and groggy day wore on, I continued to explore the vast reaches of the Internet until I stumbled across something nifty that I saw some cool POC code for about 6 months ago. Zimbra has definitely started to flesh out and hit its stride. So much so that I had to try and integrate it with the Case network, so that theres that slim chance that it will replace our current... errr.... *system*. (Its plenty functional I guess, but its just sooooo ugly and completely anti-user.) Anyways, I digress. What I did accomplish was a compiled copy of Zimbra, and one that works (as long as your ok bsing the MX recorded needed. ) You can play around with it here, but at the moment it locks most everyone out, since I don't have the permissions needed to bind to the Case LDAP servers, I sent an e-mail as I was instructed to on the wiki, so hopefully we can get some real stress testing or something.

Speaking of the Wiki, I wrote my first real article in it. Granted, its about myself, but still I contributed, and have a bunch of other articles I wanna write. I'm just a little spoiled by MoinMoin, so the MediaWiki syntax was a bit of a shock to come back to.

Anyways, I'll be boring myself even more, as the fever continues to rise.
