All views expressed on this site are my own. They do not necessarily reflect those of the Parish of Bursledon, the Diocese of Winchester or the Church of England. As such, I do not expect them all to be popular but you, the reader, can certainly expect them to be honest.
I've been asked if I can sort out a screenshot from the Pirates of the Caribbean Making Of... showing them using GNOME for the Spanish GNOME News site, gonna try to get around to doing that by the end of the week. Also, there seems to be interest in getting SuSE 9.0 support into the GNOME System Tools, which is good, cos otherwise it would seem rather futile. Hoping now to get around to doing that next week. Mozilla 1.6 packages still broken on Enigmail. Had planned to rebuild without Enigmail (as Wolfgang at SuSE has done with his packages) today, and after it spent four hours building, rpmbuild exitted due to a typo in my spec file's %install section. Couldn't believe it! Moments like that I wish --short-circuit allowed you to specify a section of the spec file to skip to. Something like rpmbuild -ba --target=i586 --short-circuit=install mozilla.spec, to ignore everything before the install section. As it stands, when it failed, it wouldn't have had time to build again before I go home at the end of today.

Now pretty convinced that my DSL problem is down to my router. Borrowed one from work to verify it, and it's been up for nearly 48 hours without a drop so far, which is unheard of for me the last month or so. Will swap back to my own and then watch as it (no doubt) proceeds to drop the connection within an hour. The problem is I couldn't find any of the paperwork relating to my router, no receipt, no warranty, nothing. Only got it in July, gah! To the max!

Oh, and I may very well be a genius...
