I notice that Planet Linux Australia has been changed to not list the feeds URLs, instead it displays the HTML pages for the blogs. I believe this is a bad idea as some people want to get a list of feeds for the blogs that are aggregated without having to visit all the blog […] Are blogs and conference speeches inherently about self promotion? If so is that a bad thing? Recently I mentioned my Planet configuration on a mailing list where most people don’t track new technology. Some people viewed blog entries for the first time as a result of this and then claimed that blogs appeared to […] I believe that adding blogging technology to bug tracking systems (such as the Debian BTS and the Red Hat Bugzilla) offers significant benefits for users and developers. It seems that there is only one significant difference between the features offered by blog software and the features required by bug trackers, blog entries are owned by […] I’ve read quite a few blog posts about someone leaving Debian and whether they should remain on Debian planet. An official policy on these matters has now been posted which stated what I expected, if you feel that you belong and meet technical criteria then you are welcome. Not that this solves much, the next […] For fun I just set up my own Planet. Reading both Planet Debian and Planet Linux Australia is a bit of a drag due to the overlap. So I wrote a little Perl script to extract the feeds from both those sources and generate a Planet configuration. My planet is publicly available in case anyone […] There is currently a big debate in progress in Debian.

In response to the question about running a small Intranet blog the recommendations were strongly for WordPress, with a mention of Ikiwiki as well. One of the features that I consider desirable is for software to […] I’m getting sick of blogger. The main thing is that I’m simply not a user. Taking what someone else gives me and just putting up with any failings doesn’t suit me at all. I can deal with bugs in things I control (such as Linux distributions) because I can fix the bugs I consider important […] In regard to my post yesterday about Planet Debian I received the following response: James Purser said I’m betting that your feed is an atom feed. We had the same problem on PLOA with Jeff and Pias feeds when they switched to atom. Planet needs to be upgraded. Well I am using an atom feed, […] I’m currently working for a company that in the past has not embraced new technology. One of my colleagues recently installed a wiki which did a lot of good in terms of organizing the internal documentation. The next step is to install some blogging software. What I want is to have every sys-admin run a […] |
