Know Your Product.

Remi Collet ponders usage rates of the Enterprise RH versions vs Fedora. [http://blog.famillecollet.com/post/2009/04/19/FC4-FC5-closing] It’s a good question too, actually. Personally I think a lot of it comes down to what you offer in your repo – I know most of my downloads

Random musings for an autumn evening.

* Is it some extension of Sod’s Law that the day after I build a brand new package, upstream will put out a new version that fixes some serious bug? libmemcached is a good example. I’ve just pushed 0.28 the ThatFlemingGent repo less than a day after 0.

Memcache related packages

Oh, and the libmemcached and MySQL-memcache UDF packages I mentioned last night? They’re up and available for Fedora and RHEL in the usual place (look down the page if you’re lazy). Please give them a whirl, feedback welcomed. I’m also pleasantly surprised to see a new version

Where to from here?

I seem to have found myself at a crossroads. Not a personal one (well, not really) but hobby / professional. Make of that what you will. Firstly, I’ve been doing IT support and systems administration for a living for nigh on nine years now. I’d been a Linux tinkerer

Crackberries, Earth Hour and Web 2.0 boredom

After having a good laugh at “crackberry” users and their addiction for what seemed like forever, I gave in and traded in my not-trusty-at-all Nokia Slide for a Blackberry Storm. After playing with it for a while, I must say it’s not bad. Getting used to typing with it

Smallish things.

Well, one thing is fairly important if you’re a long time user. “enlartenment.com” is gradually going away. I’ve had the domain for what seems like forever and no one seems to understand the etymology. In essence it’s a bit hackish – a mashup of “enlightenment” and “LART”

The one about yoga, marketing and DNS.

I’ve been fairly flat out this week. No blog entries, even my Twitter updates are sparse in comparison to the norm for me. Speaking of Twitter – dear Marketing people: I know you won’t listen because you don’t really care unless you can make a buck out of

Sort-of-Emergency Post

I’ll keep this short as it’s a little late and I should turn in. I’ve had a bit of a hosting hiccup – my now ex-host unceremoniously cut me off and disconnected my server on Valentine’s Day, citing an ESA copyright notice. Unfortunately for him and the

Conan The Comedian?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86-vveE9DI4 This makes me want to go and get a copy of the Conan The Barbarian DVD, just for the commentary. I don’t know if Ahnuld is stoned or just taking the piss, but I know that it’s a hell of a

Thursday's Thoughts.

1. People need to chill the fuck out. I’ve had two people I love dearly lose the plot today; is there really a need? Really? Life is short and things are impermanent. If someone else has fucked you over, it’s their problem, not necessarily you – let them deal

I'm getting fitter!

As most folks who know me personally know, I’m not exactly a little guy. Not huge (175cm / 95kg or 5’9″ and 205lb in the old money) but not a lightweight either. I used to be even bigger in times past – 110kg at one stage a few years ago.

Oh, what to say

It seems quite odd – I’ve been twittering like mad lately, but don’t seem to have much to say here. Perhaps I’ve been too busy to put a coherent post together. Not that there’s anything wrong with Twittering, as long as the marketing wonks don’t push
