- [JetBlue snafu could cost $30 million or more – Aviation – MSNBC.com](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17237319/)
    
    unfortunate, and hope that this doesn’t result in major fare hikes

- [Bug #61381 in control-center (Ubuntu): “gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login”](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/61381)
    
    ah, the perils of running alpha software: i’ve borked my GNOME and Beryl installs, probably by killing Dbus – fortunately, GNOME Failsafe still works so i still have access to everything, it’s just not pretty anymore

    “Pisceans tend to be sensitive, compassionate, sympathetic, and imaginative.” – hmm, not sure this describes me

- [» Linux power lunch: Debian founder visits Microsoft | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com](http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=272&tag=nl.e589)
    
    ‘The subject of Murdock’s “Invited Speaker Series” talk: The Debian Linux distribution.’ – Mike is right, this presentation should be *fascinating* – maybe he can drive home just how significant the advantage of package management is

    “When the traffic started moving again, the guy was still asleep and the driver behind him had to get out, walk over to the sleeping guy’s car and bang on his window to wake him up.” – tough night in Vegas, apparently

- [Chris Maeda » Blog Archive » Linux Desktop Trial Over](http://blog.cmaeda.com/2005/12/16/linux-desktop-trial-over.html)
    
    Chris’ experience differs from mine, as i find GNOME snappy compared to Windows XP (possibly b/c i’m not running anti-virus constantly); and wifi, with network manager, is trivial – if flaky on the hardware side. to each their own, though.

- [YouTube – Our promise to you](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r_PIg7EAUw)
    
    interesting for a.) JetBlue’s use of YouTube as a communications platform, and b.) the planned steps; all good, except for the fact that there’s no mention of their poor cancellation policies
