Planet DebianPlanet Debian - http://planet.debian.org/Andrew Pollock: debian Crazy idea: Debian spends some money on snapshot.debian.net- August 16, 2008 Eddy Petrior wrote about doing some sort of user supported thing for snapshot.debian.net, which I was saddened to learn from his post had reached capacity in May. I think rather than relying on the generosity of random users, the Debian Project should just throw some money at the problem. It's got more than enough. Disk is cheap. I'd think that with a few fully loaded SR2421's and an Ethernet switch, you'd be laughing.http://blog.andrew.net.au/2008/08/16#fund_snapshot.debian.net Martin F. Krafft: Debunking DebConf8 rumours- August 16, 2008http://madduck.net/blog/2008.08.16:debunking-debconf8-rumours/ Michael Schultheiss: Happy 15th Birthday, Debian!- August 16, 2008 15 years ago today, Ian Murdock announced the Debian Linux Release. I've been involved in Debian since 2002 and am amazed at how the project has grown during my involvement, let alone its entire history. Here's to continued success for the Universal Operating System!http://www.michaelandkrissy.com/node/87 Russell Coker: Australian Business and IT Expo- August 16, 2008 I&8217;ve just visited the Australian Business and IT Expo (ABITE) 1. I haven&8217;t been to such an event for a while, but Peter Baker sent a link for a free ticket to the LUV mailing list and I was a bit bored to I attended. The event was a poor shadow on previous events that I had attended. The exhibition space was shared with an event promoting recreational activities for retirees, and an event promoting wine and gourmet food. I&8217;m not sure why the three events were in the room,...http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/08/16/australian-business-and-it-expo/ Jos Parrella: DebConf 8 in Mar del Plata, Argentina- August 16, 2008 Me and Ail arrived at Buenos Aires on saturday. A member of the local team was waiting for people at Ezeiza, and we gave away our 2130 bus reservations in order to take a combi to Mar del Plata with Clint, four fellow german debianites and some venezuelans. The trip was quite long, around six hours IIRC. We arrived in the early morning, and slept past noon. I have no words to describe my particular experience with this year&8217;s conference, but I do agree with our DPL: this has been the best..http://blog.bureado.com.ve/?p=486 Steve Kemp: My ass is on fire! Spank my ass- August 15, 2008 This has been a rather random few days. I bought a steam-boat (not really; but close enough.) I fell in love with mod_perl For those of you that don't know it mod_perl is an Apache module which embeds perl into your webserver. You can use this to write extensions, handlers, and all kinds of fun things in pure perl. Me I just changed the beefy CGI script that I use to power a couple of my sites from being plain-CGI to being mod_perl-CGI - that means: The same perl engine & copy of my...http://blog.steve.org.uk/my_ass_is_on_fire__spank_my_ass.html DebConf team: DebConf Talk Feedback (Posted by Joerg Jaspert)- August 15, 2008 Like last year, we have a feedback system available again.

So - dear lazyweb, what does smart man do nowhttp://pusling.com/blog/?p=81 Martin-&201;ric Racine: Dear Lazyweb: constructive homelessness- August 15, 2008 Dear Lazyweb, I'm a permanent resident of one country, but I'm representing the interests of another one as a part of my job. Anyhow, I'm constantly traveling, so I cannot consider myself as having a residence anywhere in particular. Still, the health insurance and taxation offices of the country where I'm registered as a resident are constantly annoying me with requests for additional clarifications about "working abroad" (trying to imply that I might have relocated to the country where my...http://q-funk.blogspot.com/2008/08/dear-lazyweb-constructive-homelessness.html Kartik Mistry: Debian Lenny on Macbook- August 15, 2008 Not much tweak needed for installation, except following lines before installing LILO: chroot target aptitude install refit targetsbingptsync devsda Now weekend is for other things to make them work by reading long Debian on Macbook Wiki page.http://ftbfs.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/debian-lenny-on-macbook/ |
