So, today I finally set up the built in WLAN adapter in my new lappie, using the ndiswrapper module. By setting up ndiswrapper, I was then able to use YaST as normal to set up the adapter, specifying the module. No wireless network here for me to use, but then college seems generally to be a radio dead spot. Anyway, I might find one to test it with at the services on my way home tomorrow.

This leads me to a couple of new packages built and uploaded today, the first is gnome-netstatus, which is part of GNOME 2.8.x, and I'd forgotten to build it till today. The second is the very cool netapplet, as seen in Nat's blog. This hasn't actually had a release yet, so the package is versioned 0.0.0 and is today's CVS.

Planet SuSE has hackergotchis again! Many thanks to Justin for sorting my account out. It's also been updated to the latest Planet code.

Recent updates (yesterday and today):

• Gaim
• Nautilus CD Burner
• File Roller
• gThumb
• gLabels

Hackfest, hackfest, hackfest! Rodrigo's done his first EPlugin (ref) a handy feature, and just look at that code! EPlugin makes it so easy, even I might have a go!

I popped into the Hackfest earlier today, and it seems to be going well, US based hackers are in bed at the moment now though.

Also looking into why AbiCommand seems not to build. Sure it used to, so it's either my new build box, or something's changed since a couple of 2.1.x versions ago.

Preparing Morning Prayer for tomorrow.
