Welcome to my blog
May 23rd, 2006 by Nicholas Petreley
I have a lot of things to say in this new blog, but I am currently neck deep in finishing up my work on the Ultimate Linux Box issue. I hope to get back here later today to post something on the AM2, since the embargo on the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) has expired today. You'll have to wait for the details, but let me summarize my take on the AM2 in these words: Drink lots of liquids before you attempt to read my writeup, because you're going to lose a lot of drool.

News Flash: Linux Kernel 3.0 to include an on-the-go Expresso machine interface! Ok, maybe not, but Linux is definitely going mobile, from phones to e-readers. Find out more inside about Android, the Kindle 2, the Western Digital MyBook II, The Bug, and Indamixx (a portable recording studio). And if you've gone mobile and you been wanting more Emacs in your life then check out Conkeror.
To compliment the mobile we've got the stationary: parsing command line options with getopt, checking your Ruby code with metric_fu, and building a secure Squid proxy. How is this stationary you ask? What can we say? It's not. We just wanted to see if anybody actually read this part of the page :) .
All this and more, and all you have to do is get your hot sweaty hands on the latest copy of Linux Journal.

Well, maybe they're just really behind on stuff. I hope that's all it is. LJ is my second favorite Linux site, after LWN.
Article?

I wonder if something

I wonder if something happened to Nick? Both varlinux.org and petreley.com are down, which is sort of ominous.
Nick is a good guy, but

Nick is a good guy, but working for SSC is another story. I hope he found a better gig.
where did linuxgazette.com go?

Since no one at LJ answers emails, thot I'd try here. linuxgazette.com resolves to linuxjournal.com- did it go away? Did the DNS get mistakenly borken?

not answering reader questions is a good way to lose readers.

I don't think LJ understands this here modern world yet. You know, with two-way communications and all that. :)
Just a Socket change

Hi, from what i have read on toms hardware and few other sites. What i discern is that theres is not much of a significant change.
Bump in cpu frequency.
DDR2 - Cant perform at Max.
And the performance is just gradual improvement. So theres nothing much drool about. Unlike the coming slew of processors from intel just around the corner.
I would say there's one

I would say there's one thing to drool over: Pacifica. Hope LJ will do an article on Xen with AM2 CPUs soon!

I don't like Nicolas, maybe I ll just stop buying LJ.
Down on someone, not up on them...

I am curious why you don't care for Nick. He's a helluva writer and has tremendous insight. You are certainly welcome to have your opinions about Mr. Petreley or any other writer, just as I can speak up and praise him or others too.
Nick
On June 3rd, 2006 Not the same Anon (not verified) says:
Yeah, he *is* a good writer, it he could just give up the gnome-bashing and put down the flame-thrower. I don't even *like* gnome, yet I find Nick's constant (and sometimes immature) bashing to be tiresome. Hopefully he has turned over a new leaf at LJ..
Gnome bashing
On June 6th, 2006 Paul Hubert (not verified) says:
I'll admit I'm not a big fan of humor, unremitting sarcasm -or- bashing. However, I first ran across Nick's skills reading InfoWorld when he took over their test center and appreciated him greatly.
As to Gnome bashing, however, I don't feel so badly about THAT because I've been in forums where there was considerable KDE bashing. And, I know it's likely VERY silly, but I really HATE that stupid bare footprint Gnome has used! Ugh. Keep your toes OFF my system! :-)
Tit for tat?
On June 19th, 2006 ucntcme says:
So it's OK to bash GNOME becuase people bash KDE? I'd hope we could outgrow that immaturity. Especially in a professional organization.
