Just leaving to go to a
training camp for the
Swahili Localization Project in Arusha, Tanzania ... should be fun but already missing Danielle and James and I haven't left yet!
Over the last week I've started development on Pootle, a simple web portal for localization... named after a
Flumps character thanks to Danielle's suggestion.
Looked through Firefox and Thunderbird extensions and have a setup I like now...
Did some work at the Jubilee Linux lab (5 old slow computers each with their own version of Fedora - 4 at the moment because one of the power supplies has died...)
Worked quite a bit on ooo-build stuff the last two days.
Well I've been trying to build OOo 680 (2.x series) using ooo-build, which doesn't quite work yet.
Interesting logic from Mr Rumsfeld:
I didn't have a laptop at
OOoCon 2004 and didn't manage to write anything in detail then, and have been busy since, so this is my executive summary...
Found this really helpful
article describing how to mix sounds automatically with ALSA (linked from
a review of Fedora Core 2) and so now
mpd can play in the background and other programs can still make sounds ..
Beware! I apt-get dist-upgraded my system to the latest fedora development rpms, and part of that upgraded dev to udev. All very nice. Except I couldn't open a terminal. So I rebooted. And then it wouldn't even boot up properly because it couldn't allocate a console. So I had to use a rescue CD to create the /dev/console node, then it was fine.
