I think this pretty much sums it up.

Today marked my first time debugging CSS in Internet Explorer 7. Most of it involved learning IE 7 specific selector bugs, since naturally, the selector bugs present in IE 6 were removed in IE 7.

Here’s a good resource for CSS hacks when coding for IE 7.

Wow, an entire conference completely devoted to widgets. WidgetsLive!

It’s raining in Nashville today, but don’t let that stop you from voting. It’s your civic duty! And you never know, we may not be taken over by the machines just yet.

So I attempted to install Core 6 on my home server this weekend, but Fedora was unable to configure X to work with the integrated Intel video chipset(82845G/GL) that is common to only about a bazillion computers. Instead of messing with the xorg.conf file for the next hour I decided to install Ubuntu Server instead. The base system installed without issue. apt-getting a usable install of Gnome took longer than it should have, but once all the correct packages were installed, X and Gnome worked flawlessly. (no manual config of xorg necessary.)

The only casualty of this install was the software I was using to run the webcam. Camsource wouldn’t compile under Ubuntu(not available as a package), so I’ve switched over to what seems to be a full featured piece of software called Motion. I probably won’t ever need it, but Motion offers motion detection and mpeg capture. At the moment I’m just using the straight jpeg streaming ability.

Cool Mac Mini alternative: Koala Mini. Comes with Ubuntu installed.
