I bought Dollhouse season 1 on Blu-Ray recently (not a recommendation, yet – I actually didn’t watch it at all on TV, partly because of the poor initial reviews, but I tend to watch more TV in winter due to the weather anyway and thought I really ought to check it out). Sat down to [...]
You know you’ve been watching too much sport when you see one of those commercials for the channel where they string together half a dozen highlights from all sorts of different events…and you realize you saw every single one live when it first happened.

The Xfce spin of Fedora is popular among Xfce enthusiasts, and the maintainer Kevin Fenzi is always keen to have it as polished as possible for each Fedora release, so please come out to Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day and help us [...]
So after the excitement of last week’s X.org Test Week, we have another big ticket Test Day coming up on Wednesday: sound Test Day. We will be doing some broad-based tests to try and make sure that typical audio use works properly on as wide as possible a range of hardware in Fedora 12. And [...]
Quick reminder – rounding out Graphics Test Week, tomorrow is Intel graphics Test Day. As with the Radeon and Nouveau events, we’ll be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC all day long, and live images are already available from the Wiki page so you can get down to testing. Please do spare some of your time [...]
A quick reminder that tomorrow (or today, for many people!) is Nouveau Test Day in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, please swing by, grab the live images from the Test Day page, and help test out nouveau for Fedora 12!
