The Fedora News Updates #3 has been released. It has news about the new Fedora People blog site, as well as the most important up2date errors being fixed (by using a mirror site). There’s more add-in’s about the kernel and Dan Williams speaks about the next release of OOo (more Red Hat folk welcome to speak up).
If you’re tired of seeing the GNOME vs. KDE wars, you haven’t seen this yet! It’s actually downright funny, and a certain portion of it is pretty ironic. Get serious with an interview with Robert Love, which I might add, explains what Project Utopia is meant to do, in layman’s terms.
WordPress is being painful again – this time it has to do with timezones. I have since disabled the timezone feature, and let’s hope that Fedora People is happy again. The one click backup option is pretty cool as it dumps the entire MySQL db to a text file (which I can rsync and implement on machines at home).
Well, I’m off for a Chinese New Year dinner thing. Oh, I need to get a new desktop, so if someone has interesting affordable specs, comment?
So, I’ve been playing with the iBook G4, which has a nice amount of RAM and large disk. Mac OS X 10.3 is impressive, however, I’m going to be putting Linux on it soon enough – maybe triple-boot the box with Yellow Dog, Debian, and OS X.
I killed Fedora People last night, because of WordPress’s silly smiley feature – we’ve found a bug in the planet code when it can’t parse a non-UTF-8 character. Smiley feature has since been disabled, and planet code hopefully gets fixed to be more robust.
Smirnoff, my Australian silky terrier has passed away. Sigh. To add to the list of nasties, albus, my most powerful box, just sat there and died while it was playing some anime for a friend. Several reboots later, everything seemed to have hung; there was no getting the DVD drive to open. It’s now powered down, in hopes that it’ll come back soon, as I’m busy fixing other things.
Well, linux.conf.au 2004 is over, and there are heaps of links to photos as well as write-up’s. For what it’s worth, my write-up’s are at my January 2004 journal archive.
It’s nice to note that Linus actually is playing Frozen Bubble, so we may not see some new kernel releases for a while :)
Pictures are at http://www.bytebot.net/photos/lca04/. And there are a few more nice one’s on the Net as well:
So, where did I junk all the old blog bits? It’s at the Journals archive. There’s a whole years worth of stuff there, so it’s got to be useful.
This blog thing is new for me, definitely. Well, wish me all the best, and boy will I miss rsync. Well, probably rsync the archives back to my box.
