All of my real blogging activities have been moved to: tonybaldwin.me/blog Although I may post here from time to time while testing work/new code in Xpostulate, or something.

A preview of what's to come... Thinking of UI enhancements, I added the Xpostulate little icon thingy right into the GUI. What do you think? Recently support has been added for Friendika, and other improvements have been made. I mentioned them elsewhere, but neglected to post to this blog. Support was removed for iziblog and inksome.net (both are non-existent now), and scribbd (spam haven).

The richest 1% of US Americans earn nearly a quarter of the country's income and control an astonishing 40% of its wealth. Inequality in the US is more extreme than it's been in almost a century — and the gap between the super rich and the poor and middle class people has widened drastically over the last 30 years. Meanwhile, in Washington, a bitter partisan debate over how to cut deficit

Well, folks, I figured it was time for a computer upgrade, since, I was, until yesterday, still working on a 3.2ghz Celeron CPU with 1.5gm ram that I purchased almost 4 years ago, now, from TigerDirect.com. Frankly, that machine was still doing a great job on 95% of stuff I do. I can't lie. But, being the geek that I am, I felt the need for more speed, and whole lot of putrid green envy over

CHILD – SEX – TRAFFICKING. These three words should never be used in the same sentence, let alone be a reality. But for millions of the world’s most vulnerable citizens these words define their childhood descent into sexual slavery.Love146 is a non-profit international human rights organization that is dedicated to the abolition of child sex slavery and exploitation through prevention and

Here's a cool trick I just learned.You can, in a gnu/linux system, hide files within an image file.Why you might want to do so, of course, is open to speculation, but the "how" is really rather simple. Choose an image file, any image file. For this example, I will choose a wallpaper I made, say, debianolive.png. Copy this image to a directory with the documents you wish to hide.Compress the

I bought an Everex Cloudbook on e-bay about a year ago. It came with Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Herron on it. I immediately made some changes, removing gnome, adding ion3 (eventually replaced with wmii), lightened the load a bit.For some reason, the wifi was fickle (most of the time it didn't work, but sometimes it did).It sat around here for most of this past year without much use, so, I recently

I can't believe I'm just now learning of this. I found out at Ed Yourdon's blog.Back in 2007, Google released Knol, a user edited repository of knowledge that some have likened to Wikipedia.According to Google's own Knol Help, Knol has one goal: to help you share what you know.The Knol project is a site that hosts many knols units of knowledge written about various subjects.

I've decided I need to drag out the transprocalc code and get hacking again.TransProCalc is a little program I sarted building back in late 2007/early 2008, when I was outsourcing a lot of translation work, and found that the time I was spending managing the projects didn't justify the meager profits I was making from outsourcing. I determined that I really needed to find a way to automate parts

A Translators' Petition Concerning ProZ.com's Job Policies.Over recent months, we have witnessed a steady and alarming increase in the number of ProZ.com job offers that contain rates and working conditions we consider totally unacceptable.

I've been using Ion3 as my WM for about a year, now, but I've been thinking...The guy who built this awesome WM has defected to the dark side, and is no longer working on Ion3. He's basically been alone in its development, in fact, likes it that way, so, nobody else, as far as I am aware, is continuing development thereof.That kind of makes me sad, because Ion3 is an awesome WM, and meets all of

I spent much of the last 24 hours procrastinating on preparing for our move, and working on getting photodharma.com back up and online.It's getting there...In fact, most of the previous pages are back online, with some changes, some consolidation, etc.The biggest change is that I am no longer using fotopic.net to host my photogalleries, but have installed a gallery application on my server, and

Okay... BaldwinSoftware.com is back online, with the new host. Many pages still need links updated, etc., but the site is functional. TonyBaldwin.info is also now up. This is a new, general site.
