First upstream contribution!

Sat, 18/06/2005 - 1:08pm — phaeronix

Hey my hwsetup patch just got accepted in portage. This is my first real upstream contribution ( made by me in C ). Does this mean I am a gentoo-dev? I don't think so, but I am looking forward to doing more useful stuff.

That's me Islam Amer :)

Motab is my second name though.

I always use real names for real contributions.

break neck speed

Wed, 08/06/2005 - 12:00am — phaeronix

No I didn't have a road accident. I was refferring to the pace of the linux kernel development. So the bitkeeper event didn't slow it down, and moving to git didn't either.

Instead they are churning out code faster. The breakages are being resolved one by one, and there are a lot of exciting experiments going on. But the sad fact remains that none of these kernels have proven reliable for me.

cool features in new phptemplate

Mon, 23/05/2005 - 2:58am — Alaa

just two new cool features in Drupal's PHPTemplate theme engine (which BTW is going to be the official drupal theme engine next release).

Dynamic FaviIcons

if you place a favicon.ico file in your theme directory phptemplate automatically adds a link tag to reference it, this is very useful for multisite setups which need to have several favicons served from the same filebase.

blogspot migration templates

Sun, 22/05/2005 - 7:39am — Alaa

this simple blogger template dumps your blogspot content and comments data in a php array structure, I'll soon turn this into a migrate to drupal script 


< ?php 
$item=array();
< Blogger>
$iid = '< $BlogItemNumber$>';

$item[$iid]['title']='< $BlogItemTitle$>';
$item[$iid]['body']='< $BlogItemBody$>';
$item[$iid]['date']='< $BlogItemDateTime$>';
$item[$iid]['number']='< $BlogItemNumber$>';

reiser4 to use or not to use

Fri, 13/05/2005 - 2:18pm — phaeronix

A debate I had recently about the usage of reiser4 and the bad publicity it has been attracting. Please note that I am not an expert in filesystems, I just tested things and formed an opinion.

The whole thing might not be coherent, but the points are clear, and AFAIK true.

You will attend WSIS 2005 and win the $10,000 prize, if you make it to the first place.
