Thank you for petting my Gurd Dragon, he is very friendly once you get to know him

To have These Wings

There was a friend of mine,
not seen for many years,
Who was taught a lesson,
That brings out my fears.

He was driving from work,
Late in the evening.
From old London’s Warf,
His heart was beaming.

For he was a clever soul,
Who’s job was to own.
To profit from that owning,
Through returns off a loan.

A man of men,
A man without men.
A man self contrived,
A man in need of no other.

On this night it was to be,
The strange event too place,
To have fallen ill in a way,
To have have had such a taste.

See his car had stopped,
and a silken voice had said:
“I will make of you,
what you think of yourself”

It was the voice of a god,
Sweet as it was forelorned.
It sang a painful song,
And my friend was transformed.

He became a Hawk that night,
Flew from the open car.
Cursed to eat rodents,
And to be by himself.

Now he needs no one,
That much is true.
But now he has no one,
Not even to talk to.

His investments matured,
and his fortunes came in.
But no longer human,
he doesn’t really care.

It takes society to have money,
And people to build things.
Now in a tree on his own,
He has these thoughts and his wings.



Please use me for litter, not the floor. as there is not enough money for a house keeper at the moment.

New York Part 2
May 12, 2008

So me, the wife and Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys (Edrie) had a great night out. We first ate at a Japanese restaurant (very good sake) and followed it off with 70's punk, jazz experience and some good ol rock and stuff (you can tell I'm not a music person) put it was a good night. My being dressed up as I am got me a prop part in the Army of Broken Toys gig and I just stood there looking wistfully at a clock.

Afterwards we all came back tot he Waldorf and drank champagne, ate cheese cake and talked about random stuff. Good wind up for the night.

So now that we've taken our leave of the Waldorf and moved onto the Algonquin, a nicer hotel on first impressions with more warm and friendly service.

Got to walk around New York for a few hours visiting Little Italy, China Town and going to the bay to see the French statue on that island. We're going to go out to see Iron man this evening since it's Monday and all tourist stuff is closed on a Monday.

New York Part 1
May 12, 2008

So here I am enjoying New York for the first time enjoying my Honeymoon with my lovely wife. It's been a bit delayed since we got married a 496 days ago and we're doing it now because it'll be our 500th deimversery. We do metric cronaverseries, every 100 days. Keeps me on my toes according to my wife.

Anyway so we're here sitting in the Waldorf drinking French champagne in classic 1940's clothes, me in a bowler and my wife in a lovely black dress with a victory roll hair do. Talking about how they've really let the place go down hill since they've let people ware t-shirts and jeans (as a joke).

(wife here) This place is fun to lurk around with a camera. And our suite, while small, is beautifully olde wolde. I think we need to do dinner in the restaurant that says they don't accept jeans and sneakers. Not that there's anything wrong with those (I packed three Ubuntu t-shirts and some jeans for DoctorMO), but we came here to be posh, so let it happen!

Akonadi Poem
Mar 6, 2008

I was in a rather heated debate and I had to write out my argument in the form of a poem, otherwise the steel "talk to the hand" I got would be seen as valid.

Akonadi

I gaze across to what I want,
it dances about in mad taunt.
The dream I see before I think,
Yet it somehow makes a valid link.

Beyond my dream are other folks,
who write code so bespoke.
They think of extension as if it were golden
and not of the people it must be sold on.

To create a new away from vice,
We can use the same code more than twice.
It's not a function that needs to go,
But the structure that must take the blow.

What is a core if not at root,
A part that can't be in a suite.
It must focus on all at once,
If it needs to be what it wants.

The work hard and the price great,
It is ok if it comes out late.
So long as the function is available,
to all that require it to be able.

Too late we think with eyes so short,
and forgo the the process we are taught.
For some new app we want to see,
The site of which we must agree.

How can one decide to chase,
without a home or sturdy base?
Those dreams we want to exist,
Depend on an ability to enlist.

Work together at some place,
So long as we're not focused some where else,
We can make something great,
But not unless we all best mates.

Feburary Weather
Feb 19, 2008

Well the weather is picking up here in Boston; And while it is a bit of a mixed bag, I much prefer this weather to the summer. Perhaps that will change with the onset of yet another hot summer.

This week sees ubuntu-ma maturing, our little gang of people are starting to organise more, and our second installfest event on saturday should mark a step change in our activities.

I'm working on a DBO class for perl which should be quite interesting when combined with a prefabrication module set. All of this is for Dohickey and I rue the much delay in getting it done.

The amazing uselessness of free MMOs
Dec 9, 2007

In the Free Software world, we have at our disposal a whole host of very useful tools; everything from operating systems to web servers to music applications.

Something that is troubling to me is the way in which Free Software gaming is conducted. In some instances you have games which claim to be open source but really aren't (Eternal Lands), some nice but broken Propritory games (A tale in the desert III) and some rather worrying licensed games where the code is open but the content or server isn't (Planeshift).

Now I don't think any of these game projects really understand the whole point of Free Software or Open Source. I don't think they understand the clarity of standard licenses, the value of sharing and the difficulty that their odd licenses and even odder notions play out when it comes to free software development.

If we for a moment forget the code, we have lots of coders and lots of programmers that grok free software. Let me concentrate on content.

When it comes to models, graphics, textures, sounds and other interesting content which can be reused in very different ways; I see absolutly no reason for all of this content not to be Creative Commons or GPL Content licensed. At the moment we have so many artists working to build the same tree model, the same rock model, the same grass texture and the same arrow swift sound. What is the point? are we honestly, hand on heart saying that we hate the human race that much we would rather see each other suffer than take a benefit from our hard works?

A lot of this is to do with the transition from the old ways to the new ways, there just isn't the education in place to help some of these projects mend their ways.

For instance planeshift has a particularly dangerous and selfish content license where everything a VOLUNTEER does is given whole sale for free to the planeshift 'non for profit' org. To me as an artist I would never do that, in fact I consider is rude, deceitful and incredibly ignorant to even suggest such a radical move for content.

What i would like to see is some of these linux game sites actually provide places where artists and content creators can create a library of content under free licenses so we can spur on greater game development for operating systems such as Linux.
