Workflow

04/13/2007  IIIIII
Relevance: 6.62
There's lots of stuff out there about improving your workflow on Macs (lots of it based around Getting Things Done or similar ideas). I do have a Mac, and some of this I've found very useful (and some less so, admittedly).

KDE 4.1 Released, Dedicated to Uwe Thiem

07/30/2008  IIIIIIII
Relevance: 5.46
6 months after the release of KDE 4.0, the KDE community today announced the released of the second feature release in the KDE 4 era. Lots of changes have gone into this release and the KDE community hopes to be able to make most early-adopting users happy with this release. Lots of feedback from people trying out KDE 4.0 has gone into KDE 4.1, filling most of the gaps people experienced with the 4.0 releases. Highlights of KDE 4.1 are the KDE PIM suite, which has returned in its KDE 4 incarnation, a more mature Plasma desktop and many, many new features and applications.

Scheduler Merge for 2.6.24

10/18/2007  I
Relevance: 5.16
"It contains lots of scheduler updates from lots of people - hopefully the last big one for quite some time," began Ingo Molnar,describing his merge request for thelinux-2.6-sched git tree. He continued,"most of the focus was on performance (both micro-performance and scalability/balancing), but there's the fair-scheduling feature now Kconfig selectable too. Find the shortlog below." Ingo noted,"code that is touched outside of the scheduler: the KVM bits were acked by Avi, the net/unix change is trivial and only affects sync wakeups, ditto the fs/pipe.c changes - but i can push those separately if it needs an ack from David first."

The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

05/30/2007  IIIIIIIII
Relevance: 5.09
Who should read this book? Well, you'd better know at least basic HTML and CSS. Adobe Photoshop knowledge would be a big plus, too. Hmmm...I'd throw in Flash experience. just for giggles. Ok, ok...let's cover what this bookwon't teach you. It won't teach you how to make a basic webpage with HTML and CSS. Shocked? So was I a little, until I realized what Jason Beaird's book is really all about. What it isn't about is teaching you HTML and CSS. Lots and lots of books teach that. Don't pick up this text until you've already created at least one site that works. So what is this book good for anyway? It's good for making more than just a website that"works".

A Power Macintosh G4/450 falls into my lap

09/01/2008  IIII
Relevance: 5.09
The Daily News is leaving the windowless box it has called home since some time in the'80s to move down the street to a newer, window-rich building. The current spot has lots of spaceâ€' and that means lots of space filled with old hardware. The paper's design desk used to subsist on Power Macintosh G4 computers hooked up to 22-inch LaCie monitors. Resident Mac guru and digital photography expert Roger Vargo announced that anybody who wanted a G4 could get one ... until they were all gone. So how does Debian perform on a Mac PowerPC with 450 MHz of CPU and 128 MB of RAM? Surprisingly well. And there were absolutely zero configuration issues. Everything came out perfectly.

Kernel space: Interview with Andrew Morton

06/19/2008  IIIIIII
Relevance: 4.96
Andrew Morton is well-known in the kernel community for doing a wide variety of different tasks: maintaining the -mm tree for patches that may be on their way to the mainline, reviewing lots of patches, giving presentations about working with the community, and, in general, handling lots of important and visible kernel development chores. Things are changing in the way he does things, though, so we asked him a few questions by email. He responded at length about the -mm tree and how that is changing with the advent of linux-next, kernel quality, and what folks can do to help make the kernel better.

Users, Profiles and Connections in Elgg

04/10/2008  I
Relevance: 4.93
Ever been to a night club on a Monday morning? There's you, there are the chairs, and the potential to host a party on the weekend. There are lots of buttons, lots of potential, but no member except you. But unlike a night club, you don't have to wait for the weekend to host your friends on Elgg. Invite them as soon as you're done setting up the software. Elgg is designed to make it easier for you to invite people. If you've ever setup a blog or rolled your own website, how long did it take before you could invite your friends over? You had to put up all sorts of content to indulge them, and also fiddle around decorating the portal so that it doesn't look dull.

Fedora 10 debuts with nips, tucks

11/25/2008  IIIIIIII
Relevance: 4.75
The Fedora Project today will take the wraps off the open development Fedora 10 release, six months and twelve days since Fedora 9 came on the scene and more or less in sync with the six month development cycle that the project has established for the code base that eventually becomes Red Hat Enterprise Linux. According to Paul Frields, Fedora's project leader, the bits comprising Fedora 10, code-named"Cambridge," will be distributed starting at 10am Eastern time today. And while the software has lots of nips and tucks, and lots more people contributing to the project than even a year ago, the release will probably be seen as incremental by most users.
