08 Nov 09 Not-a-lotta-linux-links here
Lots of people leave me strange messages on Twitter:
Examples of these messages would be:
@daveyates Mediatomb is the best your gonna get for linux… I have been running for almost 2 years!
@daveyates I just did a quick check. PS3 is playing well with the latest version of !Mythtv on Karmic. Let me know if you need more info.
@daveyates cool bool bool you lucky man!
@daveyates – you know what.. I finally bought a Sansa Fuze which plays ogg. Expect an invoice in the mail sir.
@daveyates what is the feed for the call in show?
@daveyates: NIce work! It’s good that more #netcaster’s are going #ogg
Please note – I am not Dave Yates the lottalinuxlinks guru. I am Dave Yates the WordPress / graphics / web design / marketing person.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Linux and I think it is probably way ahead of its time and if Microslop don’t do their usual U-turn and steal Linux’s thunder then it and cloud computing and all that is a good representation of the future.
In the meantime, please go away and stop expecting me to twitter knowledgeably on Bash, GRUB, Vi(m) and other such stuff.
Dave:
You should come to southeast linux fest (http://southeastlinuxfest.org) and confront (nicely) Dave from LLL. He’d think it was funnier than hell. You guys could have a Dave-off, you know see who’s more davey than the other.
Maybe you can get him to plug you on the show there are a heap of GNU+Linux users that use wordpress and might find a wicked theme something worth paying for.
Hey threethirty thanks for the invite – it’s a long way from the UK, but perhaps one of these days…
I don’t know about a ‘Dave Off’ I am nervous about comparisons of Dave-ness, I might end up with an identity crisis
In the meantime thanks for letting me know where all these Linux lovers should be pointed.
So, if you you are looking for someone called daveyates
…and it isn’t me
…and it isn’t the guy who directs the Harry Potter films
…and it isn’t the guy who designs bicycle fames,
…it may well be lottalinuxlinks very own Dave Yates and he can be found either at lottalinuxlinks,org or microblogging over at http://identi.ca/daveyates
