It wasn’t half bad, actually – got to catch up with Paul and his missus among other relatives I don’t see too frequently. As usual, the food is plentiful and good. Sleeping on the couch (as per tradition for me) was not so good and my back is absolutely

A few things: Life: * Spending Christmas with the family this year. As is tradition, I’ll be sleeping on the couch/floor/other non-bed flat surface. * Dad is not well, unfortunately. We’ll find out more next week from the specialist. * Organized a fortnight off work starting new year. I’

If you’re a user of my Fedora repository you should probably read this. Really. Unfortunately, due to a combination of damaged kernel and dodgy hard disk on my build system, the rsync master repository (on said build system) got slightly corrupted and several RPMs within the Fedora Core 6

I’ve been a little busy of late – much of it at work and miscellaneous other-life bits and pieces. There has been a few things happening. To follow on from my last entry, I didn’t get scummvm / stella fixed, alas. However scummvm is now in Fedora Extras, so I

My Fedora RPM repository has been updated for Fedora Core 6, now that defender has settled down and ceased panicking. For those not using it already, wander over to my Packages [http://www.enlartenment.com/packages.php] page for more information. Unfortunately for the Atari 2600 and SCUMM engine buffs,

For those folks who follow it, Fedora Core 6 is out tomorrow (or the day after depending on your time zone). For me, this also means rebuilding my repositories over the weekend in preparation for folks (including me!) wanting my packages. However, I will need to make some changes again

I’d just like to quickly congratulate Tina [http://www.tina.webcentral.com.au/] Wallmann [http://www.enlartenment.com/gallery/img012.jpeg.html] on placing runner-up in the Gold Coast Miss Indy 2007 model competition. Well done my friend! I personally would have loved to have seen her win – I’

Payday finally arrived! I’d been looking at a good UPS (uninterruptible power supply for the non-hacker/tech readers) and finally settled on the APC RS 500 (about $AU300). It was painless to install and even with my current-sucking bittybox (ie pong, the environmentally-unsound old beast it is) I’ve

Friday: Dad still in hospital. He’s been having dizzy spells over the course of the week due to low iron/haemoglobin levels. Mum took him in last Tuesday after one too many. Caught up with Bri but not as much as I’d like. On the upside she’s
