Great day today. It's been beautiful here in the South Bay, and I'm glad to get some regeneration. I miss Amita June and Maj pretty badly, but they're coming to California on Saturday, so the end is near. Tonight I'm heading up to San Francisco for the Creative Commons Salon. Should be really fun.

Planet Nowhere
So, I've had some complaints from people that my blog posts on Planet Debian weren't about Debian enough. Although that's not the mission of PD -- it's stuff by Debian developers, not stuff about Debian -- I decided to remove my feed from the list there. Life's too short.
So, if you're used to reading my blog there, you'll need to add my feed to your reader directly.

Meanwhile...
I just got back from the CC Salon. Excellent time! I hadn't been to one in SF, although I helped to organize the first one in Toronto.
The presentations were all by the summer interns from CC. I was shocked and astounded that all the interns were doing cool, important things, like desktop integration, enhancing the CC Wiki, and developing best practices for marking CC-licensed content. These are all things that CC users have actually been asking for and need a lot.
I'm concerned that this is breaking with the tradition of summer interns everywhere doing meaningless tasks that help no-one. Is the future of summer internships in jeopardy?
One of my favourite pieces of info, of course, was that you can now log into CC Wiki with OpenID. Coolio!
