Hi folks, just a quick one for the moment. I’ve published a long overdue gtk-engine-experience package (0.10.5) – this will actually be my last package for Fedora Core 5 as it’s now reached it’s EOL (end-of-life) and no further upstream updates will be made available. I’

This cannot be happening! Dublin Guiness Brewery to close? [http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2007/0618/breaking59.htm] My Irish brethren – don’t let this happen! It’s a slight against common decency! What would Dylan Thomas, George Best and Father Jack have said! The local on-tap stuff is

As I’ve hinted in my last little aside, my package repository for Fedora 7 (aka “Moonshine”) is publicly available per my Fedora Package Page [https://www.thatfleminggent.com/packages.php] It took 2 days, a stack of bandwidth and I’ll wager I’ve missed a couple, but they’

I’ve built a moderate set of packages for Fedora 7, now that I’ve sorted a reasonably elegant means of getting the complete sources + updates. A fuller announcement will come later.

No, I’m not going to mimic a distribution (don’t look so disappointed, you’re not missing anything!) I’ve historically backed off installing new and shiny versions of pretty much anything, however the lure of a unified Fedora with everything (including some of my submissions – try to guess

A few things have happened since my last entry. Firstly, I have ceased working for WebCentral / MelbourneIT, my employer for the last seven years to take a job as a systems administrator / developer at Sauce Software, a smaller locally-based software / e-commerce development company. This not only means a lot less

Seems I’ve been on the end of a fair amount of backscatter because some clueless nimrod of a spammer used enlartenment.com as the SMTP sender domain of one of their mailouts. I found the attempt mildly amusing. It basically provided a free benchmark for my MySQL server ? Despite

This is primarily of interest to my Fedora 5/6 package users. I’ve pulled out last night’s build of AfterStep from the Enlartenment repo – it’s packaged OK but in practice it’s proving unusable. It packages it’s own internal version of libAfterImage (which is already in

I’m finding it difficult to know exactly what to put here these days. I’ve been putting off this entry for a little while and even now I’m not sure how it’s going to turn out. So please excuse me if this all sounds stream-of-consciousness, it’s

There seems to be some disagreement regarding use of DNS blacklists (“DNSBLs”) among some members of the Internet community (pro-DNSBL [http://blogs.gnome.org/view/ovitters/2007/04/10/0] here and slightly con here [http://tieguy.org/blog/2007/04/09/note-to-anyone-who-runs-their-own-mail-server/] for example) This is fine, they’re

It’s Saturday, I’ve got a sore throat and I’m on call. Not particularly happy at the moment but things could be worse. In pushing out a couple of small updates to the site tonight I remembered that a “bzr merge” will of course set the timestamps on
