Gosh, what a week. I’ve written an essay, about six weeks ahead of it’s due date (!), been to my cell group in Watford, had Caz and Cat round for dinner, survived a killer cold and kicked (I hope) my new mortgage lender into submission*. I’ve also met up with Hils and Caz for coffee, …

Oracle 10g
[Ref] Obviously, if I was under the control of North Korea, was a Specially Designated Terrorist* and was planning to use Oracle 10g for the development of nuclear weapons of mass destruction, I’d hold my hands up right there, and say “sorry, I’d better not download this, it would be wrong.” *Presumably plain old regular …

HAL etc
Have built hal, dbus and gnome-volume-manager (used SuSE-supplied udev to play safe), but can’t get hald to start. Google was amazingly unhelpful on this occasion. Leaving it for now, working on an essay about St Paul’s teaching on the Holy Spirit, but will post some errors in the hope that someone will be able to …

Python Bindings
Okay, I am on fire tonight! Python packages from GNOME Bindings now available. Your install mambo goes a little like this: apt install ulb-gnome-bindings-python Taking a break from building those bindings. Having usable Python packages means I can press on with HAL/D-Bus/udev. It also means I can think about building gDesklets.

Bring. It. On.
So, apparently, Novell are planning to make the current SuSE Pro Edition a community distribution, in a Fedora style. A Linux Today editorial today says this is a mistake. I disagree. My feelings on this can be summed up in three words. Bring. It. On Bring it on, the SuSE community is strong and committed, …

Yes, the WLAN adaptor works! Of course, now I just have my battery life to contend with… Or, I could just locate the power socket

Wireless
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 …
