Today I finally replaced my out-of-date streaming music server with something a little more recent. I had long been using gnump3d, and even wrote up a tutorial on it some time ago. Development on the project has pretty much died off completely and even though it has worked great for nearly three years I [...]
After some testing on some of my less-popular blogs I’ve upgraded this one to Wordpress 2.5. The whole ordeal seemed fairly painless (although with the number of blogs I host I really should consider WPMU).
I use svn to manage my installations which makes it really simple. If you’re considering an upgrade, these are the [...]
The release of the next Ubuntu LTS (8.04 “Hardy Heron”) is just around the corner and as a community of Ubuntu members its our responsibility–nay, our obligation– to celebrate! What are you planning to do for the greatest release to date?
If you’re part of a LoCo Team (you know who you are!) you need to [...]
I’m trying to come up with a more creative name for my folding @ home management tool. I put up a quick poll on the Ubuntu Forums. If you care to offer a vote or suggestions please take a minute and drop by.

I’m generally not one to advertise bugs but this has been my pet bug since upgrading to hardy and using Firefox 3b. I have been putting up with the issue, but I’d *really* like to figure out a fix for it.

I wanted to quickly toss something out there for all of you on the interweb. I spent some time last evening cleaning up a few of my code projects. If you have been using either of them you may want to update.
apturl for Gnome Do
I spent some time in the #gnome-do channel last nite seeing [...]
update: I have also found that prefetching is active in the Epiphany browser as well. The instructions to de-activate it are the same, see below.
I recently found out that Firefox has a feature called “prefetching” that tries to pre-download items that it suspects you might click on soon. This could help in pre-downloading content that [...]
I’m really happy to announce that SELinux is now available in Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron”. This is the result of the amazing work of the ubuntu-security and ubuntu-hardened teams, as well as the huge contributions from the folks at Tresys. (note: SELinux will not be the default, but is available as a security option.)
If you [...]
As some of you may have read yesterday, Jorge Castro and I put together a twitter-powered Ubuntu Planet of sorts. Our thinking is that we wanted a way to aggregate the army of Ubuntu users within the ‘twitterverse’, and give users a way to see what is going on within the Ubuntu community on a [...]
