Bittorrent Software on Linux: Part 2

A follow up to my earlier post.
In my post last week I complained about how linux had no real torrent client that could go toe to toe with utorrent. Over the last week or so, I have been trying to follow up on all the awesome comments and suggestions that I got from readers. I [...]

Lame Blog Linking Help

Miguel de Icaza has asked for some simple link help in getting Lame Blog some better Google results. I dunno if this helps at all, I don’t have a great Page Rank (I think its a 4 at the moment) so maybe its hurting, but the planets I get syndicated to do way better, so [...]

Its Always the Little Things

I love Linux, I use it all the time, my windows partition is constantly being ntfsresize’d to make room for some new (and completely pointless) project. So please believe me when I say, I mean no offense to anyone who has worked on a project I might cite here, its just me venting a general [...]

Google Docs as a Blog Editor

Google Docs as a Blog Editor
As a user of writely.com far before that whole Google purchase, I was tentative about the move, but also excited (as Google generally seems to have the whole Web-App thing down cold.) during the general crazy nature of school and a wireless card that had horrible linux [...]

I’ve Been Busy

The past couple weeks have been pretty intense with getting back to school and everything, and as a result, I’ve slacked off a bit (to say the least) when it comes to recreational coding. Which sucks on multiple levels, but after my Math exam this afternoon, I decided to get back to it for a [...]

Windows Vista, Microsoft Office 2007, and Blogging!

First off, I swear this isn’t a crime, while I may be posting to Linux development planets from Windows Vista, I have a good excuse.

I didn’t have to pay! Well… sort of. Perhaps the greatest benefit of being a University student is that you tend to get lots of cool site-licensed software, for free! (Yes, [...]

Distributed Revision Control and Gnome

As pretty much everyone knows at this point, Gnome has migrated to Subversion for all of our source code management. As many subscribers to gnome-hackers are aware, a few hours before the twice delayed migration was about to start, a serious discussion arose debating the merits of a distributed RCS as opposed to our traditional [...]

Beagle Shining, The Holidays, and Playlists on My iPod

I just stumbled across a little blog post that made me more than a little happy. Christer Edwards had a short, but
flattering post on Planet Ubuntu.
I’ve been so lazy thanks to the holidays that I didn’t even notice how completely disconnected I had been from the greater Gnome community. So, hello everyone, I’m [...]

Bleeding Edge Beagle Packages for Ubuntu Edgy

Joe Shaw has issued a Call to Test Beagle CVS due to the overwhelming amount of new features and changes made. We would love to ship a 0.2.14 release of beagle soon, but we can’t do that until were sure that we don’t have any major regressions.
Since most users don’t want to build from [...]

Finally! Howto Screencast on Linux

Ok, I keep trying to make screencasts under linux for the longest time. Wink was a mild sucess but as it keeps getting more and more outdated, I keep having a harder time getting it to run on bleeding edge systems (most of the stuff that I really want to screencast). Istanbul worked for a [...]

Beagle and the Legend of the Archive Filter

It was many a long years ago when a brave man first suggested that beagle buckle down and offer comprehensive and complete indexing of archives. Not just plain text files, or certain subsets, beagle was to inspect every file, inside of an archive or out with the same [...]

Hello Beagle Planet!

After an itty-bitty little mix up over who actually ran the planet, I managed to get in touch with rlove, who quizzed me thoroughly on my morality, and then decided that it was indeed insubstantial enough to slip on by.
So in honor of be being bored and trying to put off a serious physics lab [...]

Official Member of the Gnome Foundation!

Yesterday evening I got my letter officially recognizing me as a member of the Gnome Foundation! I can’t begin to express my extreme gratitude and thanks to everyone at Gnome. But I would like to take a moment to thank Joe Shaw, Lukas Lipka, and Debajyoti Bera for basically putting up with me as I [...]

Case Wiki, Zimbra, and Bounties

Well, I’ve been cooped up sick all day today, and as I get more and more restless, I started to just wander about the abundant Case subdomains. It was on this little adventure that I discovered the awesome EECS site. Now, obviously I had to know that when you come to a school like Case, [...]
