My secondary workstation at the office finally got a fixed CD-ROM and a bigger hard drive. Immidiately downloaded Red Hat Beta (Limbo) and it now awaits testing. I just hope that I will install it before the final version of Red Hat Linux 8.0 will come out.
Category: Technology
I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.
Testing Mozilla 1.1
Nothing much happening, so I’ve decided to test out Mozilla 1.1 beta before final will come out. Building RPM based on 1.0.0 version started complaining about 1.0.0 specific patches and reminded about long-needed upgrade of my office workstation.
Posting catch-up
It’ve been a long time since last update. Here is what I am up to:
- I am working on a new site, which will merge this site and my home portal. Among other things, there will be interface for submitting news like this one, instead of editing html files.
- I am working on a project for school/college management. It is too early to talk about it yet, but I am aiming at creating a free solution for educational institituion management, which will include things like: schedule generation, students/classes/courses management, students’ grades and quality control, and much more. Stay tuned…
- I have been also occupyied a lot by my primary work. Videowalls, migration to Linux, and some other things got me blown away. Now, with the enterprise subscription to the Red Hat Network, I hope I’ll get some more time freed.
NVidia and TV-OUT
Came across nv-tv-out utility which helps tuning nvidia drivers. It is particularly useful for getting rid off black borders around the image on TV. What I need now is to figure out how to get SVIDEO output from my video card into RGB input of TV. VGA? :)
ripMIME
ripMIME is a handy piece of software that helps with attachment processing. I have configured ripMIME and procmail to save all attachments coming to my inbox into a special directory.
