Well – what can I say? I’ve suddenly have some free time on my hands, however not the way I’d intended (some holidays). My employer decided – very suddenly I might add, over a coffee @4pm last Tuesday afternoon – to make me redundant as of the 13th of May. I

…. but not without dramas. The move wasn’t as smooth as expected. The actual furnishings/equipment move was fine, but the technological move was not. Thanks to the wonders of the monopoly telecommunications company here (Telstra) who, despite being privatised and made to compete with other carriers treats the public

The lease on my apartment here in Fortitude Valley has expired and my landlords have opted not to offer me an extension (well, they DID but then rescinded it after I agreed to it, lusers). I’ve not settled on anything else as yet – still going over a whole raft

Why yes, it has been a little while since I’ve posted anything of note. Hope the quote from Sean tided over the tragics who just couldn’t stay away. There has been quite a bit happening, most of it good. Dad has come back from Bangkok after his stem-cell

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’

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’

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

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

Just to let my RPM repository users know, I’ve taken the public holiday today as a chance to clean out all the stuff that’s replicated in Extras now as well as update some apps that haven’t had any love for a while. I’m fairly sure that
