Yesterday I started using an application called Gnome-Do, which I have to say is awesome. If you’ve used Quicksilver on OSX or Katapult on KDE its really similar. It’s a quick-launch tool to get you what you need as fast as possible (but not faster, of course!). It allows you to quick launch desktop applications… Read More »
I have a few minutes this evening after a full day at the hospital. My first child, a little girl, was born last nite. Everything went well and we’ve been getting used to the new addition in the hospital today. We’ll be back home tomorrow sometime, and I’m sure life will be a lot different.
My apologies for the lack of updates this week. My poor wife is nine-months pregnant and we’re expecting a baby any day now. We even spent one evening at the Hospital wondering if that was going to be the big day. She’s taking much of my focus this week, but with her fast asleep this… Read More »
I worked on 5 bugs today. A few of them were new bugs that I found in Hardy, a few of them were follow-ups with previous bugs that I’d worked on or submitted. I think the 5-A-Day is a great program, and I’m glad to see so many people have jumped on board. I’m going… Read More »
So I’ve finally, somehow, become the latest casualty of twitter. I don’t know how it happened, because for the longest time I did not get it. Well to give you some idea I get twitters to my phone… yeah, shameful I know. In any event, if you’re a twitter user drop by at https://twitter.com/zelut and… Read More »
Based on some of the feedback from yesterday’s post regarding my latest project I thought it deserved a little more detail. I don’t mean to be cryptic about it, I think I’m simply having a hard time describing the team. Something, obviously, that I’ll need to resolve quickly. The best way I’ve found to describe… Read More »
Ever since I attended the Ubuntu Developer Summit last October I’ve had an idea on my mind for a new Team within the Ubuntu Community. I think there is a real need for this project and I’ve been cooking up some basic specs for it for the past few months. The reason I’ve been sitting… Read More »
Minor update available for folding.sh. For those interested the download is available in the traditional location as well as on Launchpad. Still working on a package folks. updated config file control, allowing commenting in the ~/.foldingrc added ‘migrate’ function, easing transitioning to new hardware added ‘version’ function as standalone (vs output via ‘help’) misc cleanup… Read More »
We were having a discussion in IRC this morning about how promoting free software and open standards can sometimes end up restricting your freedom. Now tell me if I’m wrong here, but as I understand the idea behind OpenOffice is: To allow you to use any document format, and in the end any application that… Read More »
I installed Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy” Alpha 4 a day or two ago and I finally got some time to poke around with some of the new features. The new features that are of the most interest to me are the security related features such as firewalling, SELinux, etc. note: SELinux will not be default in… Read More »
