Older blog entries for JoshO (starting at number 2)

Wow, things are really happening with Spindletop.  I can't wait until the website is finished and Lucas and I can unveil it.  Still many bumps to work out but we're getting much positive feedback. I only wish I didn't have this pesky full time job getting in the way of working more on the project ;-).  I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I meet with Lucas and start assembling my first Blackbird. Well, better get back to work.

More time would be nice. I would love to have more time to do the things I want rather than waste it all on the things I have to do. A little at a time I guess, a little at a time...

Well, here it is, my first entry to advogato. I'm the newest employee of the latest "free software" movement, Spindletop. Created by Lucas Wagner, Spindletop is dedicated to providing hardware solutions for Linux end users. And yes, the home of the Blackbird.

I'm excited about the project and I'm relatively new to Linux, more familiar with old school Unix. (but I'm learning -- Fast ;-).

I met with Lucas a few times and we hit it off from the beginning (which was only a couple of weeks ago). Our ideas flow when we brainstorm and I'm convinced that Spindletop will be an asset to free software end users not only because we provide high quality, clean hardware but because we are completely open to new ideas and people interested in contributing to the movement.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
