Patrick’s weblog, featuring posts dating back to 2002 on topics including technology, open source, networking, and various technical adventures.
BMG has been putting the full spin about the new release from Velvet Revolver, the band consisting of non-Axl Guns N’ Roses and Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots. They claim that the large sales of the album, incidentally protected with shift-key-bypassable-SunnComm, means that people…
About two years ago, I wrote a [simple 2d drawing program][http://patrick.wagstrom.net/projects/academic/cs411/prog1/] for an undergraduate computer graphics class. I got bored today and somehow decided that I need to play around with Python, pygame, and OpenGL some more, so I decided to redo it. It ended…
Apparently I won’t have to take my time to write my own version of an Apache XSLT handler. Behold mod-xslt2. It seems like it does everything I want it to do. Including using the <xsl-stylesheet …> header for fetching XSLT sheets. Could be a nice…
So, maybe the spirit of OSS2005 got to me or something. In any case, I finally finished putting MythTorrent up on SourceForge where it will rot like many of my other projects. Here’s hoping that someone will find it interesting.

Recently there has been a bit of a furor over the forthcoming book from the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution (AdTI) that touts how Linus did not really write the kernel. I haven’t have a chance to read the book yet, but would like to. The…
