If we don’t go into labor between now and Tuesday, we are going to begin induction. So, we are going to the hospital Tueday evening after Ashlyn goes to bed to begin the induction process. So, if all goes well, we will have a healthy baby boy sometime Wednesday, April 27th. It would be even better if we went into labor sooner… we’ll see. Either way we will have a baby soon…
Foresight Desktop Linux 0.8 is now available. It has been alot of work, been beating on Anaconda most of the week. This release includes some nice artwork, many thanks to Jon for his contributions. Anaconda has had a face lift, it looks great. We also have added a nice bootsplash, I am very pleased with the look. We have also made some significant strives in hardware detection/automounting. Applied some patches to hal/udev/gnome-volume-manager and libgphoto. Things work very well now. I can now plug in my camera and gtkam pops up and asks me to import my photos, sweet! Plug in my usbstick and it mounts it and opens a nautilus window. Pop in an audio CD, goobox pops up and starts playing. It all just works, I love it!
Download, play, kick the tires, report bugs, and enjoy.
Been a while since I have had time to write… There is much todo when you are expecting a baby so soon.
Update:
Foresight 0.8 is nearing completion, and should be pretty nice. We have updated many things and included a few more cool apps. We have also offically chosen a logo, so there will be more identity in this release. The anaconda installed has been updated to make the installs faster… and look much nicer . We have also incorporated a nice bootsplash theme into FDL, it looks great, imho.
There has also been allot of work on oversite, completely rewritten in python as well as an included gui.
You can probably expect a release of 0.8 within a week… and it will be worth the wait
I really feel like the baby is coming soon, my prediction is about 2 weeks early. So, about 2 weeks from now. Getting very excited to have a son, so we will have one of each It will be strange to have such a small baby in the house, seems like a lifetime ago when Ashlyn was so small.
Two big things I hope to accomplish before the baby comes, liveCD and FDL 0.8. The liveCD is the bigger of the two. Foresight has been tested pretty well now, so releasing 0.8 won’t be that big of a deal. Plus, I now have lots of help… The Foresight community has really grown and is functioning well… I expect excellent things in the near future!
