« Bi-lingual »

Anyone know of an online Spanish-English translator? Or maybe even a Perl module? I'd really like to have something similar to the webster dictionary script I use often. It'd be nice to enter a word to translate on the command line and have it return a dictionary like entry.

« Network »

Got to test out my network tonight. I burned a CD on my windows box with an 8x burner. The file was an ISO image of FreeBSD that was sitting on my Linux workstation in a Samba share. 8x is only about 1.2 MBytes/sec, and my network can now do about 6MBytes/sec via Samba. Before on a 10-base-T I had to copy the files then burn. Of course, I could have just spent about $20 more and got another 8x burner, but hey. :-)

« Work »

I burned the FreeBSD CD b/c work wants me to install a mirror of our webserver on their laptop so they can demo a web site we are developing. Tonight I got FreeBSD installed. Next is getting the PCMCIA card working, then Apache/MySQL/PHP and X. I've never dealt with FreeBSD in the desktop environment, so it will be interesting to me to see the differences in setting it up.

« Open Source »

Submitted my first bug report to Mozilla. I think it is bug 95000. I try to keep up with some of the latest Mozilla builds, and I noticed this bug. I searched bugzilla and found it, but it was marked as NEW and only a few people posted about it, so I thought I'd add my blurb.

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.
