First let me say that there is a guy called Mario Carrion that has a cool Blog. I have been lurking over at the [Mono-hispano] mailing list and have noticed that he helps a lot of folks and have good advice going. So if you don't know Spanish, you may consider learning some to start taking advantage of a lot of cool knowledge out there - and to help you become popular with Boston area waitresses.

Now, let us talk about Gecko# on Win32. I have begun doing some experimenting since Mark heralded his initialsuccesses over IRC, but it has not yet paid off. One thing I will say is that we will have an installer that will install all of the pieces that you need for Gecko# and will give the user the option to install in the MS GAC and/or our own Mono GAC! The potential implications of Gecko# are tremendous and very positive. This may well open the door to MonoDoc, MonoDevelop and many other apps to also run in Win32. Even cooler will be the many new applications that will come out of this without having to resort to underlying not portable IE ActiveX interface. I only sleep 4-6 hours every day (usually wake-up at 3:30 AM every day and try to be in bed by 9 or 10 PM), but yesterday I was so exited with this Gecko# stuff that...

As many of you know I am a former US service member (both US Army MP and US Air Force Security Policeman) with over 10 years of service. I have a son Francisco G. Martinez that is now a US Army soldier serving in Ramadi, Iraq. I currently live in George W. Bush beloved Texas. I am an IT worker who is still employed in one of the Nation's hardest hit technology geographical areas - Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex were at one point had the highest unemployment rate of IT related professionals due to layoffs. I could go on and on about how I should be a Republican - maybe I am.

Although, I have a lot of the makings of Hank Hill and Homer Simpson in me, I don't care for the commercialization of sports and I ma not into NASSCAR yet. I am very spiritual and a born again Christian, who believes in buying American made goods and services.

But you know what; I don't believe that we can continue to base our energy needs on oil and petroleum derivatives that are corrupting the global echo system. I don't believe that militarism is the Christian way and that a lot of symbolism and "patriotism" can be perverted by a small elitist behind the scenes group of people that don't really care about us Hank Hills and Homers. We have used the name of God many times before even to wage war in the Middle East, it was called the crusades. Hmm, was it our Lord Jesus Christ teachings that we want it to share with others or was it all about Algebra, Spices, Silk and lots of other wealth and riches that a small elitist and greedy group of people want it to own? Maybe I am way off base here, and all our current administration is doing is making a friendlier climate for our buddies the Israelites. If so, why don't we come out and say it? Ah, that would not be so cool for the rest of the Arab Oil rich governments.

Fire these guys that make my country look bad in front of the rest of the world and that have send our jobs over seas just because the small elitist get richer that way. Don't let Social Security, and health care run into the ground. Please save the environment. Stop the out of control deficit that the Ultra Rich four or five guys will never have to deal with but, that us King of the Hill types will never finish repaying. Stop the people who use the name of my God in their politics as if they have purchased some sort of runtime license for it.

Yup, there may not be a draft, because we will take my "Boby Hill" and extend his volunteer service for the next 7 or 9 years "At the Government Request" (that is what my DD Form 214 reads to explain my involuntary extension of service during the Operation Stop Loss of 1991 when we were at war with Iraq last time).

If you are a Republican in the United States of America you are my friend and neighbor and I care and respect you. However, the Bush/ Cheney administration does not respect you. They are just using you, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Old Glory, Apple Pie, God and many other great people and symbols to make their handlers get even wealthier.
