General

I'm sitting here with no internet access, apart from my cell phone so this could take a while.

Now on to other news, Debian rocks. I still love SuSE but the whole Debian Package system is what I like the most. YaST, while a great system needs work on the updater maybe 10.1 will do better?

Anyway, this has taken far too long but it's always fun to play with technology.

FYI: My phone is an MPx200 running Windows Mobile 2003

This was sent to the all the users of Obsidian's jabber server so I thought I would share with everyone else.

Hello, possums....

Happy Valentine's day, from a not-so secret admirer, namely me. Why do I admire you? For using my server despite all the arbitrary messages (like this one) that I send you in the dark of night; for all the comments, feedback and, of course, compliments you've given me over the years; for your company 24 hours a day, no matter what I'm doing. Thank you.

So today, I urge you to spread the love people! Walk up to someone you don't know, or even someone you do know, give them a hug and let them know why you admire them. Compliments are some of the most powerful medicine known to man, you could change somebody's day, their week, who knows, maybe even their year or their life. Give it a go.

Love
the wibble

Well I moved the site over to Drupal this week (If you have a Drupal ID you can use it on this site, if not... register and get one here). Not that there is anything wrong with WordPress its a great program, if you just want to blog with the odd extra here and there as far as content management goes.

In other news DataPoint is almost officially a CC not too long to go now, then I can then really get down to business. Moving on Google Talk can now interact with other jabber servers now and the Psi team are adding Jingle (Google Talk's VoIP library) to Psi. Early reports look promising.

Finally the South African search directory Jonga has disappeared off Google the search giant has yet to respond as to why it was taken off their search engine.

Update: Jonga is listed on Google again

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
