Christian lobby upset about Australian government backtracking on Internet Censorship [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2009/05/27/1243103585180.html] I’ve one word to say about this: good. The whole sorry mess that is the Australian net censorship debate has become an international embarrassment. It is not or

In an effort to help my girlfriends website generate a bit of traffic – and some business for her ? – I’ve spent a bit of time (probably a little too much for a holidaying techie, but it’s a “love job”) trying to get my head around more indepth search engine

After moving what seems to be several mountains at the workplace over the last few weeks, I’m finally on holiday. Additionally, my girlfriend is back from interstate, which makes me even happier. Alas, nature doesn’t like us and lo, as soon as she stepped off the plane it

Sam released 4.5.0 today (and maildrop 2.1.0, which I’m trying to package up now and having an interesting time tracking a compile problem with the db/gdbm stuff) – I’ve updated my packages for CentOS/RHEL and Fedora in the usual places [https://www.thatfleminggent.

If it’s not notifications / oddly explained failures to build from gcc itself (hello davfs2 [http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2] on CentOS/RHEL5, where did that fail? Insights welcomed as the build.log is charmingly opaque. Cheers) or flex & bison (Hello vulcan [http://www.fzort.org/mpr/projects/

Hey Yaakov, make that four users [http://loupgaroublond.blogspot.com/2009/05/fedora-devshell-is-now-packaged-in.html] once I’ve set it up, I certainly do like the looks of it. A good tool that makes any job easier is a winner in my book, and that looks like a good one indeed.

When upgrading versions of Fedora, it’s almost never a bad idea to force a SELinux relabel on reboot (or via fixfiles if it’s a little too late ;-)) I yum-upgraded my doorstop-cum-network box without doing so, then had a momentary headscratcher relating to why Dovecot failed to start

It’s felt like a long week so far but I must admit I’m faring better than some – I’m looking over resumes for friends at the moment ( I think I’ve seen more skill matrices than shell prompts today!) who’ve lost work over the past few weeks

I’m putting this up here as both a reminder to myself and just in case it’s useful to others. I serve my IMAP user credentials (Courier in my case) from a MySQL backend and know from experience that my users find it very convenient to use the same

I had a bit of free time – and a half-day at work yesterday to boot – so I thought I’d modernise my set of hacked-up shell scripts (calling mock/createrepo/rsync+ssh) and install the all-singing & dancing Koji [http://fedorahosted.org/koji/wiki] suite. Now I’ve done this

ObFedoraContent: I have now permanently retired the Fedora 7 and Fedora 8 sections of my repository. As I mentioned a few nights ago, those with older releases should really consider upgrading to a supported release or move to RHEL/CentOS. Cheers. Skip the rest if you’re only wanting things

A novice once came to a systems software roshi seeking wisdom: “I am troubled. My project has become large and I am having trouble reproducing the environment across test servers. I have all my sources and I’ve installed them from source in the ways our forefathers have, but some
