‘Dell laptop burned down my house…’
I was pretty amazed while reading this.
Lets not hope that my HP will do the same... :-D
Playing around
I noticed syscp actualy made an 1.2.16 release which includes my translation and fixes the security bug. Upgrading was as easy as replacing the script :-)
Today I've been playing with Beryl. It does all kinds of neat 3d effects. I have been using Compiz for a while (probably an old version) but this version of Beryl realy rocks. No screenshots yet, but if I have the time I will make some.
While looking at the site I noticed there were Ubuntu packages but no Debian packages... and I'm a Debian user... The ubuntu packages are available at ubuntu.beryl-project.org. Pure because I was in an experimental mood I tried debian.beryl-project.org and to my suprise it worked.
I found out how to use it myself... but while writing this post I found out that I could have made it myself a lot easier because there are doc's on how to do it at osrevolution.wordpress.com/beryl-debian/. So I'm not gonna tell it here :-)
Wise lesson learned: Don't forget to google...
More translations
Today I found out that the syscp developers accepted my translation. Most likely it will be available in the next release of syscp (1.2.16).
I also found out there's a minor bug in syscp 1.2.15. It is easily fixed by replacing the 'exec' with 'safe_exec' on line 255 of scripts/cron_tasks.php.
I think I must use the syscp mailinglist... that way I would know these things sooner.
