Russ Albery has described why he doesn’t support comments on his blog [1]. I respect his opinion and I’m not going to try and convince him to do otherwise. But I think it’s worth describing why I want comments on my blog and feel that they are worth having for many (possibly most) other blogs. [...] I’ve just uploaded Portslave version 2010.03.30 to Debian, it replaces version 2005.04.03.1. I considered waiting a few days to make the anniversary but I wanted to get the bugs fixed. I had a bug report suggesting that Portslave should be removed from Debian because of being 5 years without a major release. It has been [...] March 30th, 2010 | Tags: Most Popular | Category: Networking | Comments are closed The Claim I have seen it claimed that renting a virtual server can be cheaper than paying for electricity on a server you own.

One of her points is that there is no unemployment in games such as World of Warcraft, there is always a “world saving” mission available to you which is just within reach of your skill level – and [...] When in California last year I visited the NoiseBridge [1] Hackerspace. I was very impressed with what I saw, good equipment and very friendly people. The general concept of a “HackerSpace” is that it is an environment to support random creative projects. The first picture is a sign near the door which is clearly visible [...] Overview The German supermarket chain Aldi has been running in Australia for 8 years now [1].

This is a significant advance over current mapping systems such as Google Earth – but it’s not released yet either. It will be interesting to see [...] March 23rd, 2010 | Category: Links | Comments are closed A meme that has been going around is that you can’t cite Wikipedia. You can’t Cite Wikipedia Academically Now it’s well known and generally agreed that you can’t cite Wikipedia for a scientific paper or other serious academic work. This makes sense firstly because Wikipedia changes, both in the short term (including vandalism) and in [...] Ben Hutchings announced that the Debian kernel team are now building Xen flavoured kernels for Debian/Unstable [1].
