A Dream Finally Dies - Found out today that Linuxcare finally entered the history books. As noted on the About Us page, they are now Levanta, as detailed in this news release as well as this LinuxWorld story.

And so ends a final chapter in the long-running saga known as Linuxcare. Sad to see in so many ways, but appropriate given that the company today is completely different from how it began.

I will forever be grateful to Art Tyde, Dave Sifry, David Laduke and David Mandala (davidm) for the chance they gave me to be employed by Linuxcare and yet be funded to launch LPI. Those were crazy days back then in 1999 and 2000 as Linuxcare rode the dot-com wave.... an amazing time that will probably not be repeated for many years.

Goodbye, Linuxcare... you launched so many projects and did help reinforce to the corporate world that yes, you could get technical support for Linux!

IronPython - Interesting.

The Chloe Journals: The case of the missing 3 - In the past week or two, the number "3" has gone missing from our life. Up until that time, the wee one was counting "1, 2, 3, 4, 5"... and now, suddenly, everything is "1, 2, 4, 5"... it's cute on one level... I mean, she's only two... I'm sure that soon enough that darn 3 will re-enter our world. :-)
