Sound problems in Ubuntu Hardy
So if your like me, you’ve been suffering through some painful sound problems in Ubuntu Hardy, apparently its a known kernel issue, so just sit tight. However, if your like me (or 90% of nerds) then you need some sort of music to code. A little digging revealed that I did not in fact have [...]
Major PhotoBlog Catchup!
Ok, so some of you may have noticed I’ve been a little quiet lately, over this time of non-blogging I built up a dozen great ideas for entries, and collected the photos to flesh them out. However, I am far to lazy, so you all get this little summary post instead. Let me apologize upfront, [...]
Google Docs Presentations: A Major Disappointment
Google Docs has revolutionized the office suite, namely the word processor. Collaboration is easy, smooth, integrated, and automatic, whats more all your documents are accessible from anywhere, and all the common features I need are present. While I don’t really use spreadsheets very often, my few simple instances of using Google Doc’s for spreadsheets were [...]
Updated Beagle Packages for Gutsy Available
Beagle support in Ubuntu has been less than stellar up until this point (across all releases), and unfortunately, the best that we can really hope for in the immediate future is acceptable. This is mostly because only a few of Beagle’s developers are running Ubuntu, and accurately reproducing common errors is difficult. To top this [...]
Beagle Ubuntu Package Update
Technorati Tags: beagle, gnome, mono, ubuntu, gutsy, deb, bzr, bazaar, launchpad With everything that has been swarming all over my plate lately, I haven’t had a chance to really keep on top of the Beagle packages in Ubuntu, and as a result, they are currently pretty crappy. I have a branch (meant to be feisty-updates, [...]
Ubuntu – That About Sums it Up.
Its been an awesome week, its done justice to the last 6 months of blood tears and sweat that were poured into the great release that is Feisty Fawn. A few things I wanted to mention, but first off, I should say Hi! My Ubuntu Membership was just approved, and I wanted to give a [...]
Applying for Ubuntu Membership
As I find myself getting more involved with the Ubuntu community and specifically the packaging of Beagle, I decided that it might be about time to apply for official Ubuntu Membership. I always feel a little odd in these situations, much the same as when I applied for membership to the Gnome Foundation. It feels [...]
Swiftfox, why are’t we good nerds anymore?
So the past few weeks have seen me getting more and more frustrated with the performance lockups in Feisty. As a developer who’s been running it for several months now, I can say I’m very tolerant and never upset, just try my best to help, mostly by just finding my own solution. So cruft and [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
