So a workmate just had some baby snaps on his Sony Cybershot he wanted to send to his relatives. But all Windows XP (fully patched) wanted was a disc with the drivers on it, even when it was switched to use USB mass storage.
No problem for Fedora Core 6 (with no updates I might […]
Partially from a comment from Jeff and mostly because Firefox 3 is giving me the shits, I started looking around for another browser. I gave kamikaze (or something - can’t remember exactly) a go, but that crashed as soon as i typed in a url. I also tried some pure java browser, but […]
Ok, i’m getting plenty of practice here. My new laptop arrived today, and yes, despite the aust web page saying otherwise, it has a thinklight, yay! Don’t know what i’m going to do with the (hefty) monitor stand it came with - but it was part of the deal.
I downloaded and installed FC9 […]
I actually wrote about 3 posts about my fedora installation issues, but I decided against boring everyone with the details (ok i will bore a little). The last straw came on Friday night when I discovered an application I long used (though occasionally) was ripped out of Ubuntu - i don’t really care if […]
One more followup to the versioned data ideas. I thought of how I could version some other information like document structure and index entries and the like. It worked quite easily with the last design i came up with - I can just create another table for each type of data, and use […]
After thinking about it a bit more I made some changes to my versioning model. I thought since it was fairly simple I’d add the ability for lightweight data copies, separate meta-data from data, and as a side-effect I simplified some of the queries and probably made them more efficient to boot.
With a hangover […]
I’ve been consumed by thinking about database versioning. Why I wonder? What a silly thing to be consumed about. Is there just nothing to watch on TV? Hmm, no there isn’t. Still - I’m starting to get a bit sick of it … but before I drop it never […]
Well it wasn’t that wet, but it was close enough and it was cold and dreary. I spent an awful lot of the weekend playing with an idea I had last week. Another piece of software to run a blog/wiki/etc - i.e. a ‘cms’. I don’t really need one, and the world […]
I’m sure it isn’t just me that has noticed Google isn’t really as useful as it used to be any more. First there were the empty ‘wrapper’ sites that got onto the adwords box - you know, the ones that seemed to have ‘all about foo’ for every ‘foo’ search, but when you clicked […]
Well nobody seems to comment on ‘good stories’ - maybe I should rant more often? Anyway, it seems I have a reputation in the GNOME world as being an arsehole, so why not. Threat’s about employers reading the blog? Yeah nice one.
I realise I was going to offend the author of packagekit […]
