luv considering MemberDB
actively considering MemberDB for Linux Users of Victoria (luv). People seem excited about it…
Beer and Curry for Lunch
Very nice beer and curry for lunch today. Feel soooo good atm. Very culinary satisfied.
Ubuntu Linux – For my Mother
Well, I’m about to give Ubuntu Linux to my mother. This’ll be a good usability test :)
gnumeric or OpenOffice
for spreadsheet (tax time again)
i like gnumeric – but it doesn’t have that split screen view thing that i find really useful.
oh well… i only use a spreadsheet a handful of times in a year
Lirc under 2.6 and with my remote and with mythtv….
remote control to myth. funky.
GnuCash
Have just spent a whole lot of time importing my financial data into GnuCash with the hope of actually trying to manage my finances.
With luck, this will make the next tax return easier – plus let me have some idea of where my money actually goes.
I now know that my CD and DVD habit costs me more than my petrol habit.
Remote Serial Console HOWTO
You can have a serial console to GRUB – something i didn’t know. Which is cool – and sometimes needed.
The last thing you need is to drag your (soon to be) sweaty ass into a hot sauna server room to select a working kernel.
Integrating MemberDB with LA’s look-and-feel
Well… since LA actually has a look and feel now (thanks to the new website), I have to make good on the “site look is independent of the actual memberdb code” statement.
It’s proving to be sorta-true. A couple more patches into memberdb and it should all be right.
Oh, not to mention patches to the LA website :)
We’re going to have to undo some of those silly styling things (such as styling all h1 tags to be in the same position on the screen).
