I have become convinced that somewhere in the world there is a warehouse filled with original 80's Transformers shirts preserved in amber to be sold for the next few 80's vintage revival sales. If you know where it is, drop me a line and we'll knock it over together.

How not to solve a problem

This autopackage page does not look like it's going to convince anyone in any project they insult to "fix their stuff".

Stating that there is a problem with how software distribution is handled on Linux is one thing. Saying that your solution is right and everyone else is wrong is another. But then managing to come across as superior and arrogant, being surprised why people mostly seem to not feel this is a problem, and insulting every project that you actually need to convince to change ? Doesn't sound like it's going to work any time soon.

Arrogance rarely works - that page makes me want to write even more Python programs, just because they "'fix' this in autopackage by recommending developers don't use Python.

I don't understand this page - Mike Hearn is above all a very pleasant guy to interact with on IRC, and while he obviously feels his solution is the right thing to do (and well he should, if he's working on it), this page doesn't sound like anything he would want to be responsible for, at least in style.

Earlier this week while riding my bike to work my bike chain broke. Sadness. I locked the bike to a tree, locked the front wheel to the frame, took off the saddle and took a cab to work.

Tonight, after my work which obviously involves a lot of Free Software (ding), we went out for dinner with people from Nokia that are on a whirlwind tour of Spain visiting GNOME-related organisation (ding ding), and afterwards I decided to take the scenic route home and go and collect my bike.

On the way to my bike I passed by a sign that had a big penguin on it (ding ding ding). Looking closer, I saw it was a store, the big penguin was THE big penguin, and the store was called GNUinos, and had the tag line "software lliure per a gent lliure".

Either this store does not actually exist and I'm still drunk on tonight's sangria, or Free Software really is all around us these days...

Free Software sadly does not get my bike fixed, though.
