  • @support @heryshoe looks #spammy! #
  • #swpat Is IBM deciding to show how useless are patent promises by suing? http://tr.im/UFHG Is this true? #
  • @glynmoody they’re proving just how valuable are all those useless patent promises #swpat 🙂 #
  • .oO( not at all valuable ) #
  • Eagerly expecting the new OTRS::ITSM (supposed to land by the end of March) with Change Management Process and PINK Verify certification. #
  • @igama estás a estudar ITIL Foundation V3? #
  • @support @willexceltesol is definitely #spammy (and with a quite evident bug in their software). #
  • Excelente 🙂 ♺ @GabrielfSilva: A couve de Bruxelas: http://bit.ly/aitzyz #
  • @jwildeboer I half-agree, IBM is merely not attacking free software in general more than they usually do. #
  • @jwildeboer What they do is prove how worthless patent promises are (even without being bought by another company). #
  • @jwildeboer so if you build a commercial free software you’re provoking the established commercial patent promisers? #
  • @jwildeboer hardware is software (except in materials) and, each time more rearely, sometimes unchangeable. #
  • @jwildeboer with the current minefield, what you’re saying is that there can’t be no commercial free software, and that’s just natural. #
  • @jwildeboer oh, I haven’t been surprised about this eventuality ever since I read those promises. #
  • @jwildeboer and, BTW, Red Hat’s promise is not much better, sadly. #
  • @jwildeboer Red Hat may know that the instant they break it they loose a lot of goodwill and valuable human resources, but it may not matter #
  • But what if they’re bought by someone who doesn’t care? #
  • @jwildeboer You’re screwed if you have a patent infringement case either willfully or not. This *must* be criticised. #
  • @pedromelo confiar nos certificados dos browsers é que é um risco, isto é 🙂 #
  • #WTF uma televisão exigir o formato Betacam Digital para enviar um vídeo para produção, e com montes de considerandos arcaicos *sigh* #
  • ♺ @mind_booster: Liked "Amazon Kindle #DRM Strikes Again: You Don’t Really Own Your eBooks | Techdirt" http://ff.im/iCFnK #
  • ♺ @slashdot: Groklaw Will Be Archived At Library of Congress http://bit.ly/cWHln6 #
  • #Supernatural’s last season and on the brink of the end. Why do they still waste time with filler episodes? Shitty end coming right for us! #

  • Alguém sabe como funciona a publicade institucional na RTP? Estou a ter alguma dificuldade em obter informação… #
  • @lopo obrigado, mas eu queria algo para ler e estudar as opções, não uma voz do outro lado que pode estar certa ou errada 🙂 #

  • interesting, #elementary bubbles work well with statusnet but NOT with twitter… wonder what’s the difference? #

OMNewRotate 0.5.7 is out!

After about 11 months since the previous release, I’ve just released omnewrotate 0.5.7 (after short lived 0.5.5 and 0.5.6 as I found out a dangling patch in SHR-Unstable’s recipe and did a mistake on the 0.5.6 release) which integrates Tim Abell’s init script change and the aforementioned patch.

As I’m running SHR-Unstable, your mileage may vary but it’s likely it will work 🙂

As usual, the download links are at the project’s Google Code site for omnewrotate (see the featured downloads section):

Enjoy!

  • @baltha yeah, I know… it was a joke (as Ubuntu is becoming each release more friendly to proprietary software). Hence… 🙂 #

  • @jwildeboer thought XBMC could display DLNA sources, but I have none to try. #
  • @jwildeboer well, it’s an excellent media server (video and audio too), so not just picture viewer. #
  • I erased a lot of users from my blog. They all looked just like spam accounts, but if I’ve missed you by accident, use a more clear account. #
  • @playya gnome-autogen.sh removed from !elmdentica #thx for insisting! #
  • @jwildeboer The web without flash and it’s puny attempt of replacement (silverlie) is SO MUCH BETTER! 😀 #
  • @jwildeboer perhaps the gnash team would be the best suited one 🙂 #
  • @jwildeboer I’m with you on that 🙂 #tnparty #website #
  • @jwildeboer So what you want to have is verified accounts, not end of anonymous 🙂 #
  • @jwildeboer me too, but that is the price for protecting the honest people that can be punished by the dishonest people. #
  • @jwildeboer at my free software blog I “fix” that by having much more strict spam check rules for non registered users. #
  • @jwildeboer well, yes it really exists unless you control all variables. It’s not easy, sometimes, and it can be a real hassle, but possible #
  • @jwildeboer ok, now you lost me… «Think of the children» is now an approved argument? 🙂 #
  • @jwildeboer yes, I know, but it is also a fact that «think of the children» has never been anything but a slippery slope getting worse b/day #
  • @jwildeboer all have limits, so I say go for it if you mean ending anonymous comments in the places you control because y reached yr limit #
  • @jwildeboer but you seem to defend end of anonimous information, and that only weakens the good guys who are scared 🙂 #
  • @jwildeboer I point out that I never called you anything of the sort 🙂 #
  • @jwildeboer you should really read the link @jmcesteves sent: http://tr.im/TFgl you’re on the side of Craig Mundie (yes, that one) 🙂 #
  • @jwildeboer as I view it, if you do it in a broad overachieving way, it is bad. If you do it in your own turf (wiki, blog, etc)… #
  • @jwildeboer … then it’s your prorogative. Demanding the end of anonimity overall has a negative net result, even if it has a few pluses. #
