At the same time I added some commands suitable for developers, but I didn&8217;t really advertise them anywhere. Here goes. !bug <bug-number> Print a one-line synopsis of the specified bug. The parser is fuzzy and will find the bug number embedded in URLs, etc. !madison <source-package> Print a colourful rmadison output for the specified package. !qa...http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/07/17/bts-bot-improvements/ David Watson: Thanks Guys- July 16, 2008 Just over three weeks ago I started a new job, I left my position as a Network Manager to start a job as a Linux Consultant. On my last day I was given a rather generous collection from everyone there. The purpose of this post is to show everyone that the money was well spent, the picture shows the books and DVDs that I bought. Thanks guys.http://planetwatson.co.uk/content/thanks-guys Eddy Petri&537;or: OH MY GOD!- July 16, 2008 This can't be true! How can someone trust such a keyDoes anybody have a reasonable explanation for such an abominationUpdate: It seems it is unclear to some people what is the problem with this key. There are multiple identities (apparently different people) for the same key. So, in layman's terms, multiple different people are using exactly the same key to certify their identity.I really don't understand how this could work in real life. Maybe is a case of misunderstanding what gpg is abouthttp://ramblingfoo.blogspot.com/2008/07/oh-my-god.html David Nusinow: Goings On- July 16, 2008 I've been rather disconnected lately, trying to finish my PhD, find a job, etc. I got permission from my committee to start writing my thesis a few weeks ago, so I've been trying to get that in gear, as well as finishing up data for publication. This should all be done by November, if all goes well, so I can get back to spending more time on the things that I love.I've tried to stay somewhat current with what's going on, and there's been a noticeable change over the past couple weeks in the...http://gravityboy.livejournal.com/43986.html Stefano Zacchiroli: updating w3-recs- July 16, 2008 revamping w3-recs: new specs, misc improvements After quite a lot from my initial adoption, I've spent some time to update w3-recs. Beside the long overdue update of shipped recommendations (quite a few new specification was released, mostly related to SPARQL, but a few more have been edited, including CSS 1 and 2), I've also uploaded some pending improvements. A couple of bug fixes were about dangling links and registration of recommendations with the GNOME devhelp stuff. Additionally, I've...http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2008/07/updating_w3-recs/ Russell Coker: Xen and EeePC- July 16, 2008 I&8217;ve been considering the possibility of using Xen on an ASUS EeePC as a mobile test platform for an Internet service. While the real service uses some heavy hardware it seems that a small laptop could simulate it when running with a small data set (only a few dozen accounts) and everything tuned for small amounts of RAM (small buffers for database servers etc). According to the wikipedia page about the EeePC 1 the 70x and 900 versions of the EeePC use a Celeron-M CPU. According to...http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/07/16/xen-and-eeepc/ Russell Coker: Mobile SSH Client- July 16, 2008 There has been a lot of fuss recently about the release of the iPhone 1 in Australia. But I have not been impressed. I read an interesting post Why I don&8217;t want an iPhone 2 which summarises some of the issues of it not being an open platform (and not having SSH client support). Given all the fuss about iPhones (which have just arrived in Australia) I had been thinking of writing my own post about this, but TK covered most of the issues that matter to me. One other thing I have to...http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/07/16/mobile-ssh-client/ Chris Lamb: Nouveau nVidia drivers now available in Debian experimental- July 16, 2008 You can now try the &8220;Nouveau&8221; free software nVidia video drivers from Debian experimental.
