@johnefrancis @hacks4pancakes
It kinda made me worry less about pancakes, I think they cannot seize you and deport you from Canadian-based location? If Pancakes was rejected, they could have just got on a flight home instead of being sent to El Salvador (or wherever it is).

"Get along"?

@evan Is the comparison result supposed to be transitive? Ie (ignoring incorrect results) if (a better than b) and (b better than c), can we conclude that (a better than c)?

Listening to your Gnu World Order podcast.
I always thought the "dpy" in "xdpyinfo" stands for "display": x display info.

Also, xeyes is useful for big, busy screens ... you can get a hint on where the cursor is by looking at the eyes. For those who do use the mouse, but seldom.
Plus it's fun to move the cursor in a figure eight around each eye and make them look left, up, crosseyed, down, right, up, cross-eyed, ... etc.

@nasamuffin So, what do you do for a living?
I'm imagining the conversation between this guy and a first date ...

@evan This may be a topic which is true in theory, but in practice it could be dangerous for the organizers : -(

To do with email/smtp

Even if they pronounce it wrong : -)

@clacke @evan Thanks for the link to the video ... Was nice to check it out. I usually listen to audio podcasts.

Happy Solstice!

The Police tried to arrest me for downloading the entire Wikipedia database!

@evan @leo @randalschwartz No, I only started listening to these podcasts more recently. I'll have a look!

@evan @leo @randalschwartz 2008, that was a while ago : -)

I was listening to FLOSS weekly podcast and was delighted to hear that they are going to interview Evan Prodromou next week.

@rms They just lump us in with the technologically challenged. Maybe hoping we'll break down and 'prove' we aren't tech challenged by doing their favoured behaviour.

I'm with you, I take my business elsewhere.

But they don't seem to care, and they are successfully brainwashing the younger ones that cash etc is old and less desirable, and that electronic transactions on phones is "safe".
