Which OS are You?

Apparently OS/2 is my kinda OS… Maybe I’m not shallow enough for OSX or a religious extremist enough to be a debian person ( You know I’m right!).

So many things since I last blogged. Firstly,

Congrats to the Red Hat People for getting RHEL5 beta out the door. Working on an install right now.

Bluetooth is the strangest creature.. I’m trying setup a bluetooth AP using Fedora and the bluez stack to allow some testing of funambol on non-wireless devices.. Now utopia goal here is to have a backberry accept an IP address from dhcp running on a bluetooth interface. One quick annoyance: it appears that you need to ‘pair’ with a device before you can establish any bnep0 interface and hence configure dhcpd. Now I managed to trick Windows XP into accepting a connection only after giving the interface a static IP. What’s interesting here is that clearly the service of ‘PAN’ is been offered up from the Fedora box but when I go to the bluetooth services tab in the blackberry or my SE K608i the ‘PAN’ service doesn’t appear.

Go Figure?

I have a working install of Jira and Confluence as part of our workflow in IT. Now it works well but I’m finding ‘fringe’ problems with various modules. For instances Confluence as decided not to show a particular page that some quite useful information. Appears fairly simple start a re-index… done.. But wait still know page. Okay… Time to roll you my sleeves and dig into MySQL and see if the data is there. Sure enough the data is there. Well time to add it to the ever growing ‘TODO’ list. One other little challenge with JIRA is timesheets. Unfortunately I’m not at work to post error message but I will catch up with that tomorrow.

RIP Peter Brock. King of the mountain forever. My condolences goes to his family and his current partner who if you look at the media coverage almost didn’t exist.

Huharu…
