Yum Extender NextGen

May 24th, 2009 timlau No comments

I have been working hard on beating Yum Extender NextGen into shape and I really like the result so far.
I have made a new screencast showing the the latest preview release 2.9.0-0.8.

If you what to try it out, then read more here

It will only work in Fedora 11, because I use a lot of latest and greatest Gtk stuff.

Look like M$ is going to pay $200 milions. for a patent infringement, but even if they got a taste of there own medicine (tomtom) ,  it still shows how bad software patents are :(

I was working on my desktop and this pops up.

Maybe I’m old, but not that old and I can’t read Persian. :)

(I know it is supposed to be a new feature in F11, but this is going to confuse a lot of people)

Moved my blog

May 1st, 2009 timlau No comments

Moved my blog away from wordpress.com, because i wanted to play with some WP plugins :)

like this one. It is very nice to show code examples in the  blog like this one:

class FedoraRules:
    ''' Fedora Rules main class '''
 
    def __init__(self):
        for i in xrange(1,10):
            print "Fedora Rules !!!!"

This one (Highslide4WP) is kind of cool too.
