alias skedit='open -a skEdit'
is highly useful. Now I can do skedit foo.php and it opens it up. What joy with such simple things. - Great to see Mono go into Rawhide, meaning FC5 Test 2 will have it. Now I can’t hardly wait. On PPC, if we had Xen working (upstream), life would be the ultimate breeze.
- I will not be making it to linux.conf.au 2006 in New Zealand. Despite all good attempts to get a flight leaving KL, I can’t. Well, affordably (hello coach class). Registrations however are still open. There’s a Red Hat/Fedora meetup, and Joshua Wulf would be a useful person to contact if you’re rocking up for it (email discussion still has dates
- Is there a reason Fedora disabled
updatedb
running by default? Now users actually need to specify yes, in/etc/updatedb.conf
. Why? Was this for laptop users? - FreeBSD ports has this nice advantage that …
Arjen Lentz: King Kong and MySQL…:
Arjen mentions that Weta Digital in New Zealand uses MySQL. For further mention, these folk use Fedora Core for their OS. I have an appointment to talk to their press people sometime in mid-January to discuss their Fedora use; I guess now I’ll aim to find out more about both.
Oh, and Halo, that popular Xbox/Microsoft game, is to be a movie. Powered by Fedora and MySQL :)
Arjen was mentioning about the perks of working at MySQL. It got me interested, so I joined them :) So I guess this is my change in affiliation announcement.
A timely photo from William, that I scanned in… (circa a couple
of years back)
I don’t know if I can talk about what I do yet (I’m a Community Engineer). I already have a task on hand, but I guess there are meeting times to work out, and other stuff. I’m rather excited, and my drive (that was lost for a while) is back. I’m not leaving any mentioned project either, in fact I think my Fedora goodness should be stepped up, as will the OOo (db related) stuff.

When I last blogged about the 2005 iBooks with 1.5GB of RAM losing Airport Extreme connectivity, I didn’t realise this was something in regards to the software provided with the iBook itself (10.4.2 afaik). I just popped 10.4 on it (from the ADC seed) and it seemed to work well - doing the massive 10.4.3 update now. Funnily enough, 10.4 itself doesn’t support the trackpad driver *grin*.
Hey, look at /var/log/windowserver.log. There goes my apple+tabbing actions. Thats ok, Fedora will have none of that rubbish. Rawhide on the iBook g4 (ginny) is going well. It installed fine, but I did notice a quirk: the trackpad starts working when firstboot hits, but it doesn’t work at all during the install - so for that I used the Mighty Mouse. Multiple file contexts bug should be fixed with the next SELinux …
