Stefan: This is really good news. When I first proposed the GTK+ front-end for YaST as part of the GSoC last year (or was it 2006?), part of the proposal was that YaST-GTK+ should be HIG compliant. I personally think this should still be the goal in order to make it fit seamlessly into a GNOME install on openSUSE (or indeed any other distro that people choose to package YaST for).

A few people I know ("friends") on Facebook have recently had messages/wall posts sent in their name that link to malware. It seems to me that these issues demonstrate two things to avoid:

• Using Internet Explorer. This should be the case anyway incidentally.
• "Remembering" your details. This should also be the case anyway - on any authenticated site.

Don't do it. Don't use IE. Don't save authentication details. Do neither of these things. Make the world a better place.

Thanks to Zonker for dropping me a line while I was away to let me know Planet SUSE was unavailable. Sadly, there was little I could do from the middle of a field in Somerset - even with my new Nokia N95, having not yet installed PuTTY on it. Anyway, it's now back - as am I.

Banshee 1.2.1 has been released. Loads of fixes in it, so before doing anything else ...

One notable fix is Fix ASX and mms:// support. This means that, if you're using the gstreamer packages from PackMan, you can enjoy the full-range of BBC radio stations within Banshee again.

To do so, simply download the BBC radio playlist and save it to ~/.config/banshee/plugins/stations/user - restart Banshee and you should have a new category BBC Radio within the Radio section.

I don't know for how long the BBC are going to maintain this service though as they seem to be moving everything to the iPlayer.

• Drove over to Somerset on the Wednesday of New Wine and we went to Wookey Hole with K, M and M which was a wonderful day.
• On Thursday of last week, I demonstrated my awesome ability to go yet another year without dieing - check me out! I'm now 32 and still going strong. If I was a goalkeeper, I'd be hitting my peak now.
• For some reason, the older I get, the younger and more student-like I seem to dress. In keeping with that, yesterday I bought a pair of blue Converse All-Stars - probably the trendiest pair of shoes I've ever owned.

New Wine started yesterday, A's there with K, M and M and it sounds like they're having a good time, the weather notwithstanding. I did all three services yesterday, starting a series on Elijah for over August. Being targeted at All-Age Worship at St P's, they'll not be online as they don't work well in a purely audible format.

I'm taking advantage of an empty house (CJ is staying with P&T) and cleaning it. I've done all of upstairs today and tomorrow, downstairs will get what's coming to it. I'll be heading over to Somerset on Wednesday (thanks to K lending me her car for the week) and then doing the outside of the house on Thursday.
