So what's new...

Over at imaclinux, I've kept the news fairly up to date (its' been a slow week, like most ;). I guess I have added a few g_h's since last week. Beeler's send in his first version of the ibook howto for ibooklinux. Cool.

On the more exciting front, John Buswell, the main project manager, is working a totally new version, on a dedcated new server in his house, that will go online in the middle of October (hopefully). Hopefully, it will be easier to figure out then some of the Sourceforge stuff. While I don't know all of the details, and I probably can talk about them.

Around the same time, we will be releasing powermaclinux.net to our series of sites. This site being worked on mainly by maurice, will be geared to PowerMacs. It will be even more specialized then the pervious sites. Hopefully, it will eventually cover all PowerPC machines

Oh, before you ask, it's not my idea to buy so many domains and set up so many silly frontends. That's Buswell's idea. I think he has big plans, and totally unique frontends for each in the future.

He has some other cool sites he is working on, that I'll probably help contrib to, but I can't really talk about them (wait 'til October or Novemember for this). Sorry.

Started getting caught up on secure shell and secure copy today, as it appears I need to learn them. :) I've been using telnet and ftp for two long. However, they don't seem much more complex. I do use PGP from time to time, so, I am not a total newbie to encryption.

Finished up my eagle project today in BSA Troop 89. I am happy to have it done, now just lots paperwork and some merit badges left.

I guess that's about it. Bye.

Okay, I just wanted to let you know that I put up an early beta of PowerPC Linux Software Page and Newworld PowerMac Page.

It's important to note that these pages are subject to change, and I (and the rest of the imaclinux staff) want suggestions. Hopefully, soon I will figure out a good place to put this in the main iMacLinux database. I have sent a message off to the iMacLinux staff for them to decide.

I hope you enjoy.

Also, I have decided that this diary is as good of place as anywheres to let people know what's up.

Still no news on when my CD-burner is coming :(.

Next guide to work on? Either I will finish the RealPlayer guide or the XMMS one.

Oh, if you have saved somewhere's some of the old iMacLinux (pre-April new version) stuff, please send it to us. We lost all of our good documents last spring when the server crapped out on us.

Currently I am working on adding some new Guides to iMacLinux, and maybe on Friday I will start updating and moving some of the old ones.

Current Stuff that I am working on (for iMacLinux):

  • Newworld PowerPC Hardware Support Page
  • Software for the PowerPC
  • XMMS Guide
  • Updating other stuff.

    I really need to finish this stuff up. :) As always, we can use your help.

    If you want to get an early look at any of these pages, email me.

    I am quite busy right now, I am running low on summer to finish up stuff, especially some of the merit badges I am working on for Eagle rank in BSA. My grandmother is up, I am going for a drive to Middleburg (and the related areas) on Thursday. So, it's crazy.

    That's about it for now.

  • New Advogato Features

    New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

    Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

    If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
