If you’re on a nice pipe and want to help your fellow gnomies around the world to get the liveCD, try this:
mkdir dir-I-can-put-a-lot-of-isos-incd dir-I-can-put-a-lot-of-isos-inwget -r -l1 -nd -nc –no-parent -A.torrent http://torrent.gnome.org/btlaunchmanycurses .Sit back and watch your bandwidth get used. :)
If you want to speed up the service you’re able to offer the bittorrenters, and you’re [...]
I think the Berkman center does really awesome work, and I’m very interested to read their new report on open standards. I’m terribly amused, though, that their press conference on open standards will be broadcast… in Real Player format. Looks like that is worldbank’s doing, so I can’t really blame Berkman, but it is pretty [...]
Marcus Bauer has been a stud; as a result we have eight liveCD languages on torrent. LiveCD FTP is lagging a bit but should have all eight languages soon. Marcus continues to pump out languages; if you want your language to have a fully translated liveCD, talk to him. If you want to be an [...]
Grrr. Every once in a while either gnome-blog or my server-side setup eats a post. Hence the blank post people asked about yesterday. It basically said ‘yay! release!’ and ‘yay! liveCD!’. I think maybe also ‘damn, no localized liveCDs yet!’ Hopefully we’ll figure some of that out today.

The perfectionist in me is bothered by the math score, but…

When I posted last week about evo and GNOME’s relative LoC and bugs, it was pointed out by at least three people that I used the wrong gtkhtml for the comparisons. Using the right gtkthml, evo/e-d-s/gtkhtml goes to 771K LoC(20.2% of all GNOME core LoC, including gtk), and up to 2379 bugs out of 10265 [...]
I don’t know why, but I felt tired and sort of depressed most of the day. Unsub’d from some lists, which felt helpful, but still just felt overwhelmed. Did do some minor liveCD stuff towards the end of the day, which helped some. Hopefully I’ll be in a better mood tomorrow for my exam, and [...]
Ben: while I approve of your move into the famed Acetarium, you should let the management know that rss is very passe for events, and ical is much preferred by the in crowd these days.
End of an era: I’ve been removed from planet suse. Ironically, I am planning on installing suse for the first time [...]
