Sorry for the short notice everyone, but this week is Graphics Test Week again. It’s time to make sure the major graphics drivers are in shape for Fedora 16. Tomorrow, 2011-09-06, is Nouveau Test Day. Wednesday, 2011-09-07, is Radeon Test Day. And Thursday, 2011-09-08, is Intel graphics Test Day. All the events take place in [...]
There has to be, but I don’t know what it is, and I wish to be informed. Especially you, science-y types. So, today apparently someone came out with a study which says that CEOs with big heads are great. No, really. Now, this sort of thing happens all the time. It’s often reported as ‘having [...]
So, this makes diagnosis fun: * 2011-08-24: Apache 0-day DoS disclosed * 2011-08-25: Adam switches his web server to Fedora * 2011-08-25 and 2011-08-26: Adam’s web server goes unresponsive with httpd getting OOMkilled So…either there’s some bug in my Fedora setup or some skiddie decided it’d be really useful to humanity in general to DoS [...]
Sorry if you were having trouble accessing the site for a few hours; last night my internet connection went down, and this morning I’ve been migrating the server from Mandriva to Fedora. MDV 2010.1 is going EOL, I don’t particularly trust MDV releases from 2011 on now that everyone left and went to Mageia. I [...]
Well, this is one of those ideas that seems awesome in the shower, so I figured I’d write it down before I forgot about it. If you read this blog regularly – well, see a psychiatrist, but you’ll also be aware of my various frustrations in finding a personal groupware setup which meets my own [...]
I’m back on my ‘personal egroupware’ kick. Here’s a simplified version: can someone point me at a F/OSS to do list web app? I want one that I run on my own server, not some company which runs one for me. So, basically, Remember The Milk, but the actual server code, not just a service [...]
Yep, today’s the day: Fedora 16 Alpha is out. Go test, my children, go test. Remember to read the release notes and common bugs too. The common bugs are especially important this time as there’s some stuff on there which will hit a lot of you, so do read it before yelling
So, I got a bit interested in this Apple vs. Samsung battle this morning, and I’ve caught something I think everyone else has missed. What’s happened is a German judge has granted Apple an injunction preventing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 being distributed in Europe, due to alleged infringement of Apple’s ‘Registered Community Design’ 000181607-0001. RCDs [...]
An exciting and very-nearly-as-good sequel to the classic I hate routers! After that last little debacle I’ve been carrying on running the old WRT-310N, but today it finally narked me off sufficiently again. The wireless congestion in my area is just nuts now: I can see *26* wireless networks from my laptop, all in the [...]
Naming issues are one of those fascinating ‘victim of success’ problems. When you’re a lean, hungry startup about to revolutionize the world of cellphones, vacuum robots, macrame or whatever it is, you generally don’t have a marketing department or even someone who could play one on TV. So someone who actually does something useful for [...]
