• Polycom IP 501 on fedora talk
  So the FAD was epically awesome, and Paul sent us all home with gadgets This was the toy that I wanted the router bridge set up for; the bridge worked wonderfully after reviving the not dead(1) linksys WRT54Gv5 and putting dd-wrt micro on it. Anyways, yes, SIP Phones for all! And real cool ones at that. I got a Polycom IP 501: It’s a nice, _extremely_ hackab […]
• 在Fedora安装Go-Oo 3.2
  OpenOffice.org是Linux平台上广泛使用的办公套件，各大Linux发行版都的软件库都有OpenOffice.org，而且不少发行版已经把OpenOffice.org列为标准组件。虽说都是同一套源代码，但是各个发行版对OpenOffice.org都略有区别。例如Debian、Ubuntu、openSUSE等发行版都集成了Go-Oo的补丁，而Fedora则是完全利用OpenOffice.org的重编译，仅仅加入一些修复bug的补丁，基本不会对性能进行优化和改进功能。 以下操作都是在终端里的root用户完成。 安装Go-Oo首先要卸载原来的OpenOffice.org yum remove openoffice* 添加Go-Oo的yum源，到这里下载一个rpm包，然后安装。如果是x86_64的用户，还需 […]

I had a very good routine going on during that time. I managed to walk 8 miles a week just to get to and from one job. I also moved around a lot at a second […]
• FEDs on Frets
  As I wrote some minutes ago over some Fedora mailinglists I had the idea of having some kind of Fedoraproject Band thingy. I know there are often geeks like me around who also have some kind of creative blood. So maybe its a good idea to put the Fedorians all over the world together to one band (reminds me of “one band, one sound…” anyway). Paul encouraged m […]
