Livejournal Sucks. No really it does.

I'd like to apologise for those people reading my blog via Livejournal. I did a bit of reorganisation last night, but made sure that both PyBlosxom (used on my website) and Planet (used on Planet Debian) didn't consider them to be new posts. Sadly it appears that livejournal wasn't so clever and managed to mark them as new and spammed people's friends page.

Sorry. I won't do it again in a hurry.

mutt -f =debian-devel -e "push Dhot-babe<enter>"

I gave up reading the hot-babe thread shortly after it descended into discussing the crusades. To me, the whole discussion has failed to mention the more interesting question of whether the package is useful and if we want Debian to be full of silly pointless packages. I know traditionally if someone was willing to maintain a package and it was DFSG-free then it accepted into the archive. But now sarge doesn't even fit on a DVD anymore we have to start asking ourselves "Just how many media players/irc clients/load meters/menstrual calendars do we need in Debian?" Maybe it is time someone went through the archive, looking at the orphaned, unmaintained and trivial packages and ask "Do we really need this package?"
