HUMBUG Talks

Once again, at HUMBUG, we've got a pretty decent set of talks lined up. This weekend, we've tentatively scheduled bradm to talk about User-Mode Linux and VMWare. The meeting after that, we have our long awaited talk from a special guest from Red Hat in to talk about i18n issues. Additionally, we have a growing list of possibles and probables for talks.

I had some talks-related running-around to do today, but since I got slack today (I'm on holidays) it'll need to wait until tomorrow.

Hacking

I'm presently mucking about in Python prototyping some ideas I got a few weeks ago at work. It's a shame though that Python dosen't yet have .NET/Mono bindings yet (and I'm not quite sure how it would be done).

I'm also trying to work out how to get my Sun Ultra 10 sitting in the corner here to run a Samba PDC and eventually authenticate everything on my home network out of LDAP. Solaris 9 ships with Netscape Directory Server but I suspect that getting it all working won't be as simple as copying a couple of configuration files.

Fat Pizza

My friends here in Brisbane know that my current obsession is the Fat Pizza movie and TV series (when I can pick up SBS). If you like mind-searing amounts of gutter-level humour as much as I do, then you should check it out. I can't wait for the DVD :-)

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.
