totem-xine
Using Factory? Like Totem? Want to use it with the Xine backend? Then you need totem-xine. You can grab it from my home repository (note: Factory only) – it should replace totem. You can now, if you want, use the full range of media types that Xine can handle. Furthermore, if you install the PackMan …

Name-dropping
Roger’s mention in my sermon is a classic example of a 3am(ish) idea. In other news, I just broke my tall Maisel’s Weisse beer glass by knocking it out of the draining rack.

Summer of Code
openSUSE got accepted to the Google Summer of Code 2008. A couple of years ago, I got the GTK+ front-end to YaST accepted as a project and so this year, I’ve suggested a GTK+ version of the YaST installer.

Who am I?
Yesterday, a couple of people asked in #openSUSE-GNOME about the origin of my nickname, Riggwelter. Well, the name, of course, comes from the Black Sheep beer of the same name but there’s more to my use of it than simply my openSUSE guise. I think I first used it on LuBBs, possibly during one of …

Friday
Lunch & afternoon walk around Christ Church in Oxford with Rachel and Duncan. What a great way to spend a day. My Bill Bailey DVDs were delivered – rar! Kauto Star didn’t win the Gold Cup! Glad I didn’t have a punt… MoD continues to attempt to re-write history over Iraq

One change for my printer is that when I …
