Flumotion is brilliant. I’ve been testing it for a while now, but only recently been able to stream to a useful number of clients, thanks to my new Linode virtual server. The Fluendo guys have done a fantastic job architecting and implementing it, even though they’re obviously cheating by using intensely cool building blocks, including […]

So I thought I’d try out Kjartan’s performance-enhanced vte test tarball, and got some interesting results from a few entirely unscientific tests. find / on my laptop provided a 25M file, which I exposed to the terminal emulator via time cat.
For Kjartan’s preformance-enhanced vte code:
real 0m29.826s
user 0m0.002s

Jorge “whiprush” Castro blogs about his second day at LWE, and captures the Luisnes of Luis perfectly: “Luis is the real deal … the first day, he talked about GNOME so much that he lost his voice and had to take a break from speaking to people.” Jorge, you’re feeling the way I did at […]

Dave, people learn, but you gotta teach the right things. The wiki is fine for listing splash competition entries. The problem you guys had was that all the entries were attached to the pages, which inflicts scalability issues given the current configuration. If remotely hosted images are displayed on the page, you don’t encounter […]

Nat has been prankstering around with GnomeWorldWide, which resulted
in the following email from Axel Liljencrantz:
Saw your GnomeWorldWide, nice map. Spotted an error, though. You
have accidentaly marked the location of Atlantis as north east of Madagascar.
Actually, it has been known since 17th century that Sweden is the real location
of Atlantis. In his seminal work ‘Atlantica’, the famous […]

Jeffrey Morgan, whom I really only know through ftp-release-list emails for java-gnome releases, writes about the very fresh-off-the-presses java-gnome 2.12 roadmap. Pretty exciting to see dbus, cairo and gtkmozembed bindings on the plan.
Jeff (love a man who can spell), you should be on Planet GNOME! Let me know if you want to be added.

I’ve always loved the Debian developer locations map, and for some time I’ve wanted to do a similar thing for GNOME. Presenting, GnomeWorldWide!
With Moin, this is really easy. Everything’s on one wiki page, and my regeneration script sucks down the raw version of it, whips it through sed to cut out the talky bits, and grinds […]

the penguin-driven life recommends the Dialup Modem Howto on the Ubuntu wiki instead of using the Networking configuration dialogue. Totally agree - each uses a different subsystem to configure and execute the connection, which is very silly! Especially when the most exposed interface uses the less optimal backend.
“Seems like everyone is making a Linux Live CD […]
