Release! Release! Release! »

After over nine months of hacking, Zeitgeist 0.2 has been released into the wild. Head on over to Launchpad or Siegfried’s blog for the nitty gritty.
It’s worth pointing out that this release is aimed at developers only and includes the Zeitgeist Engine and DataHub. For the rest of you, the Zeitgeist team has been working [...]

Regarding Richard Stallman »

I’m jumping onto the meme a little bit late. I go offline for 24 hours and when I come back at least half of Planet GNOME has blue banners.

However, what disturbed me most about Stallman’s speech wasn’t the rabid rant against Mono and it wasn’t even the fact that he showed his incapability to understand [...]

Zeitgeist FS »

Here’s a quick screencast of what Markus has been working on: He’s mounted a date-based FUSE filesystem using Zeitgeist and recently added html index pages for each day in the calendar.
For example, all documents that were opened on July 10th, 2009 would be in the virtual directory zeitgeist/2009/07/10.
Update: If you’re on Planet GNOME then you [...]

Chain Hoaxes on Facebook »

A friend sent me this private message on Facebook today:

Hacker-Targeted Spam? »

Edit: Now that I think of it, the spam most likely isn’t targeted at hackers. My email address was probably found on Ohloh and the spam bot may just be programmed to automatically include a link to the site which it found the email on.
Ugh. More spam has been getting through Gmail’s filters lately. Here’s [...]

Civil Unrest in Iran »

Tehran is dark, cold tonight, I can hear screams. scary #iranelection
– A tweet from mohamadreza one hour ago

I’ve been reading the news about the Iranian elections with growing angst. I find a few things particularly disturbing.
 
 

Where is the mainstream media’s coverage of what’s going on in Iran? CNN has one minor article with 3 pictures on [...]

Life and Code »

During the last two weeks I took my English, computers, and math matriculation exams. I have the physics exam this Thursday and then I’ll just be left with history and Hebrew lang for another two weeks.
Sorry for disappearing up until now, but I’ll be back online as soon as exams are finished. In the meantime, [...]
