We had our PCC and Leadership Team “Away Day” today. The reason I’ve put Away Day in quotation marks is that we went to the coffee lounge at St Paul’s – hardly away. Anyway, we were meeting about our Mission Audit and the feedback we’ve received from the church through anonymous questionnaires we gave out …

Doziness
I’m so dozy. I phoned Orange this morning to ask about upgrading my phone (to a Nokia N95), thinking I was around 16 or 17 months into my 18 month contract. I was told that I was actually only in month ten and so there would be a significant charge were I to upgrade. I …

Block!
Speaking of Planet SUSE, which I was earlier, a quick preview of a thought. We now have over 100 feeds aggregated on Planet SUSE which is a lot. Not all of the are prolific. Some, I’m sure, must be out of date and no longer maintained. A while ago, I had an email complaining (politely) …

Migration to openSUSE
Caught up on Planet SUSE additions, including Jan who works for Novell in the OpenOffice.org team. What’s interested me about Jan is that he’s producing a HOWTO for Debian people moving to openSUSE. People who read my People of openSUSE interview will know that I generally wouldn’t want to pressure people to switch from another …

Bringing things up to code
Posted on opensuse-gnome this morning. We now have a list of packages in GNOME:Community that do not yet comply with the packaging guidelines. The team (myself included) can now set to work at bringing them up to code.

Bluetooth speakers (3)
[Ref 1 Ref 2] I’m currently listening to Five Live through my bluetooth speakers. I’ve achieved this by forgoing Banshee for this facility and turning instead to MPlayer. This was really easy, especially as I use the gmplayer GUI. If you’re in a similar position to me then firstly, you have my sympathy and secondly, …
