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.
Rather than try to use a text editor and FTP client, an SSH client with a half-decent soft QWERTY keyboad will do the job.

Christoph has very kindly sen me he spec and tarball that will form the yast2-gtk package du to land in FACTORY soon. In a day or so it'll be in my Build Service repo for 10.1 an 10.0, assuming it builds on them both of course.

Yes, that's right folks, tomorrow I get to go home. I'm currently sat in the lounge on site, trusting that at some point the power's going to come back on and bring the wi-fi back with it.

Had some fun yesterday repatching composite cables in the big top yesterday. Someone had managed to lose the video feed on the DVD channel to the mixer/switch. We still had the audio feed to the sound desk[1] but no pictures.[2] Anyway, it was a right old mess down the back of our desk, but after much cable tracing, the connections were made and we had life.

Had the pleasure of meeting Carolyn Kitto, who it turns out knows Mordecai Vanunu, someone for whom I have nothing but total respect. Carolyn and her husband Fuzz have been here doing some seminars. Fuzz also occasionally pops in to MCYM to do a bit of teaching. MCYM is based at St. John's.

[1]Ooh, the power came back then. But only briefly.
[2]Back again!

Summer of Code is over and Ricardo's announced YaST-GTK. I'll package it up when I get home. Don't think I'll have time today. This is great news though and fantastic to see a project I proposed come to fruition. Next step: A usable YaST-GTK for installation.
