October 2009 – FU-BAR

Identi.ca Updates for 2009-10-31

New gwibber… not sure if much of an improvement on !ubuntu #karmic. #
Seems more performant but… what drugs are they under the influence of… *sigh* #
A tradução do gwibber para português deixa muito a desejar… #
One thing I can say about !ubuntu #karmic overall. Things look a lot faster… #
Feel too… #
I’ve got a dangling sensation that Transmission’s strings haven’t been that well though it terms of localization. “1 dia, 8 horas remaining” #
After folding nearly 100 leaflets with !ubuntu #karmic CDs inside, going to meed other members of the portuguese community. #

Argh, performance of !fedora 12 beta live CD in an intel card was awesome, but horrible after install do disk. Suggestions? #
I think I broke two cd recording drives in my !ubuntu #karmic cd burning rampage. #
wodim now hangs whilst scanning the drive’s profiles even after reboot #
wodim hangs whilst scanning the drive’s profiles even after reboot, now I’m afraid to complete the last 50 of 200 !ubuntu cds I was burning #
@bugabundo pois mas a verdade é que custam € (not funny) #
@josecastro feio! #
Walloon government to restrict use of open source web browser – http://bit.ly/4cWM1G Use IE6??? I think that should be “Wally government” #

Diving into !ubuntu 9.10 … #
1745 packages to upgrade on this !ubuntu machine… #

@mehor note down their package names, then after install open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install pkg1 .. pkgN !ubuntu #
@joaomiranda diferença de imposto em Portugal ou Espanha só é concorrência na fronteira #
@joaomiranda como imposto é igual e assumindo margem de lucro semelhante nas gasolineiras, o alto preço vem do preço base. #
Burning a buttload of !ubuntu #Karmic i386 CD’s for this Saturday, 2 at a time, 3 at a time when I get home… #
@bugabundo mais caro… #
♻@jwildeboer Talking about transparency. Red Hat walks the walk. Open Data on security. http://is.gd/4Hgzy #
Burning !ubuntu #karmic CDs, 3 at a time, for free distribution! #
Hope to do the same for !fedora 12 release! #
@jimcheetham I’ve about 75 CDs of !ubuntu 9.10 already, and 125 to go, two at a time. Saturday will be an interesting afternoon! #
♻ @jwildeboer #ooxml continues to be the worst example of how low can you go. Read this. First hand report. Ugly. http://ur1.ca/eqww #

@pedrogfrancisco oviously I preferred not to reboot, but even with remote ssh, keyboard was unresponsive after gdm restart. Needed reboot! #
Wow… tomcat with icedtea is faaaaaaaast! #
@tonnerre lol 🙂 #
Surprising success from Wikireader, Number 7 on Amazon’s top! http://bit.ly/eK8fG I knew it was interesting, just not that so very much so! #
@wikireader congratulations, it seems to be an astouding success 🙂 #
Wikipédia e, aparelho que cabe no bolso, feito com Software Livre, está em 4º lugar no top 100 PDA & handhelds da Amazon http://bit.ly/eK8fG #
@glynmoody check what’s on 4th at Amazon’s top 100 PDA & Handhelds: Wikireader: Wikipedia on a Free Software device http://bit.ly/eK8fG #

To all those morons who decided to prevent alt-ctrl-backspace: you’re a bunch of effin idiots. *sigh* #
@tonnerre I know, but you only remember that after something hits you. #
Dear diary, today I found out TV-B-Gone also affects the Set-top boxes of Zon and Meo… but more interestingly than power off 🙂 #
Ok, my country’s main mail service already know about my SmartQ7 parcel… waiting from 7 to 15 days, couting from today… #

With a boring head for most of the day, slept all afternoon but not better *sigh* #
boring headache #

@bkuhn I actually still don’t understand the statement he sent, though. It’s quite confusing, and probably the reason @webmink misrepresents #
@bkhun I didn’t know of project Peter… now I do I understand and support @rms and @jamie_love letter to EC. #
♻ @greve Harald Welte’s advice to #Symbian: It’s not (just) the license, stupid! 😉 http://ur1.ca/edx8 !FSFE !GNU (via @gnufs) #
@webmink I’m really sad Sun couldn’t survive, but to be bought by Oracle… sorry, does not forebode well for my interests 😐 #
@webmink I think it’s a loose-loose situation that could only be turned into a win-win or win-neutral by Oracle’s destiny for MySQL. #
@webmink if MySQL was relicensed to “GPLv2 or later”, (or “GPLv3 or later”), and a good trademark policy similar to Ubuntu would be better. #
Preciso de alguém bem experiente e com mãos de fada para trocar um capacitador do meu telefone, alguém me pode ajudar? #
@tonnerre I’m shocked! You’re hard to impress 🙂 that’s good news about !fedora 12 🙂 #

I need some awesome !ubuntu #karmic screenshots to use in a leaflet, anyone can help? #
@bkuhn not to mention that OIN license totally puts *BSD users to trash! #
@jwildeboer which is why it would probably be smarter to talk about Free Software rather than just “Linux” (as Apple isn’t Free Software) #
I could really use awesome !ubuntu #karmic screenshots, for Ubuntu, KUbuntu and Ubuntu MID got some? #
@jwildeboer how promiscuous of you 😉 #
@jwildeboer I figured so, but since you are inviting people into your hotel room… *giggle* 🙂 #
Dear Internet… alguém tem uma replicadora de CDs que empreste por uns dias? #
Juro pela minha alminha que a replicadora de CDs/DVDs será utilizada para replicar software 🙂 #
@bugabundo não me esqueci, foi mesmo para causar choque a quem pensa que não há software que se possa copiar 🙂 (e humor aos restantes) #

@bugabundo hehe, não apareci entretanto porque não me tem dado para aparecer 😉 #

Quick to get paid, AllPMP is taking it’s time to start shipping my Q7 http://is.gd/4vnsJ (3 days on “pending” shipping status). #
Madoff já arranjou um “protector”? http://is.gd/4vo8F #
@tonnerre will remove, not removed yet, only deprecated… #
@codebits hint hint hint 😉 http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=16570 #
The #swpat war is definitely not a cold war ♻@arstechnica Nokia sues Apple, says iPhone infringes patents – http://arst.ch/959 #
Nokia reports losses for the first time (in many years? ever?) and then it sues for #swpat infringement. Normal #patent pattern of business? #
