I have bumped my ebuild for asn1c to version 0.9.21.
To get this ebuild into your local portage tree do:
# rsync -rztp --delete rsync://rsync.omz13.com/local-portage/dev-util/asn1c /usr/local/portage/dev-util
And then:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge asn1c
Enjoy.
I have just sent an email to the RFCEditor to request that draft-somers-ftp-mfxx-03 be published as an Experimental RFC. I would have hoped it would have gone down the standard track path but, alas, the IETF Application Area ADs have shown little interest. (C’est la vie).Here is the response I got from the RFC Editor:
The RFC Editor is more than a little mystified by the utility of these
extensions.
Why would an FTP client WANT to modify the file meta data at the
server, and even more, why would a server ALLOW a client to do
so!!?? I sure as heck would not want MY FTP server to implement
these commands!
I’ll leave it up to your imaginations as to what I think of this slap-in-the-face.
Today, I had a few hours to spare, so I bit the bullet and upgraded WordPress to version 2.3.1, which brings me, your humble scribe and site administrator, a few benefits (and also hopefully a few less security holes, etc.). The main benefits being native tag support and an inbuilt editor that now works with Safari and not just IE. As the server is running gentoo it was a matter of typing a couple of lines into the bash shell and the upgrade was almost done… a quick visit into the admin pages to upgrade the database, and the site was up again. When I need to make a few behind the scenes tweaks, with 2.3 I can now use the Maintenance Mode plugin, so this was installed and activated whilst I did things like import the article tags from Ultimate Tag Warrior so that they are now managed by the native engine, and upgraded the theme from Copperleaf Plus 1.18 to Fluid Blue. I hope everybody likes the new theme and layout. I have tried to keep the layout nice and clean, and the first page has been greatly simplified.
Those who subscribe to this site using RSS will notice that articles now have a copyright banner and a link to the original article.This is all being done by a spiffy WordPress plug-in called FeedEntryHeader.How did I discover this wonderful plug-in? As ever, it came from one of the feeds that I read: Column2. In an article called Fun with feeds, Sandy talks about FeedEntryHeader, and refers back to an earlier article (on how her feed was abused) which explains why these things are sadly necessary.
It has been a long time, but a new version of cvsnt is out: today 2.5.04.2911 was announced.
I have bumped my gentoo ebuild.
As always, get my ebuilds for cvsnt into your local-portage tree using rsync as follows:
# rsync -rztp --delete rsync://rsync.omz13.com/local-portage/dev-util/cvsnt /usr/local/portage/dev-util
To install, do the usual:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge cvsntEnjoy!
Yes, Apple screwed up. The Luxembourg store is giving a whopping 0% discount, i.e. no discount at all.
I’ve recently stumbled on a site called Jamendo. Its been set up by some dudes in Luxembourg and provides an easy way to search for music that is available via BitTorret or eMule. The dudes even got some Series A funding from Mangrove Capital. What surprised me was that:
Meanwhile,the real kicker is that the music distributed (or should that be cataloged?) by Jamendo is done so under very liberal Creative Commons licences. You can check out their concept here.
Now whilst some of the music available is, to my ears at least, crap, there are however some excellent gems out there. I’m currently hooked on the likes of:
Oh, for some techno-ish stuff XL Ant ain’t too bad…
Now, I’m off to check out some music from them before they burn out all their Series A cash.
Thanks to some help from Sebastian Schuberth, the ebuild for CVSNT has had a few tweaks and should now happily work with the latest version of Gentoo’s Portage without any of those pesky QA warnings appearing (i.e. it will now successfully emerge the package).As always, get my ebuilds for cvsnt into your local-portage tree using rsync as follows:# rsync -rztp --delete rsync://rsync.omz13.com/local-portage/dev-util/cvsnt /usr/local/portage/dev-util
I tweaked the latest draft and its now published as an internet-draft; here’s the announcement.I have now asked the IETF Application Area ADs to sponsor this for publicaton as a Stabndards Track RFC…. if they say no I’ll just ask the RFC Editor to pubish it as an Experimental RFC (since people have already gone and implemented it!)
Yes folks, its been a few years, but I finally got around to updating my internet-draft (draft-somers-ftp-mfxx).
The third draft (-02) has been submitted to the nice folks at the IETF so that they can push it out… once that is down I will be asking the RFC Editor to publish it as an RFC.
The various drafts are available, for historical reasons via the following URI http://www.omz13.com/ftp-mfxx.
