Another blog bites the dust

If you get the following error while running Synaptic: **Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic Unable to copy the user’s Xauthorisation file.** Make sure to that you have enough space in your /tmp directory.

If you are using Skype on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) on a Dell D630 and have the “famous” internal microphone problems due to the HD-Intel chipset, I’ve found a simple solution, sort of.

I’m sitting in Frankfurt Airport (FRA) waiting for my connecting flight to San Francisco which will let me attend Social Graph FooCamp 2008.

A couple of days ago I’ve talked with Eran Hammer-Lahav about an idea I had regarding his post about using Emails as OpenID identifiers.

At IIW 2007b OAuth Core 1.0 Final was released.

I know I’ve been very quiet recently but some of you know why.

Lately my 3rd generation 20Gb iPod battery started to die very early.

I know it took me a while (sorry) but I had a couple things on my plate.

I’ve decided that I have enough data I want/need to store and backing it up with removable drives and/or burning DVDs is getting less useful each passing day.

After Chris blogged about it Eran Hammer-Lahav wrote a Beginner’s Guide to OAuth I have little to add.

Others have made such great explanations as to what OAuth is and what it does like Eran Hammer-Lahav’s post so I won’t repeat it.

2 days after my previous post about installing VmWare Server 1.0.3 from Canonical’s repository, VmWare released version 1.0.4.

If you are going to install VmWare server (a great and free server virtualization product from VmWare) on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04) and you’ve followed this post showing how to do it using Canonical’s commercial repository, make sure to read this post at…

I fired up Google Reader this morning and to my surprise I found a search box: This is one of the last missing features I wanted Google Reader to have.

At Yedda (my day job) we recently ordered 3 new laptops.

I like WinAmp.

According to this link on Jeff Pulver’s blog and this link on Ynet (an Israeli online newspaper – link is in Hebrew) the prices for the Jerusalem ROCKS!

Jeff posted a couple of days ago that the tickets for the Jerusalem ROCKS!

UPDATE: Plaxo DO support delegation, just not XRDS.

Last Thursday I went to Jeff Pulver‘s party for Israeli Facebook users in the Tel Aviv Harbor.

I wish I could attend iPhoneDevCamp but unfortunately I won’t be in the area (or in the right country for that matter ;-) ).

Being a big fan of Microformats as well as a relatively new Facebook user, I find it odd that Facebook has no Microformats support (at least non that I know of).

I just wanted to let all of you know that we just released a new feature on Yedda which integrates nicely with your Twitter account.

I’ve recently started to use Google Apps for Your domain to host my private emails on the sandler.co.il domain.

2 days ago I wrote a post about the lack of Google Israel’s involvement in the development community.

I know that Google‘s original Googleplex at Mountain View is very active for non googlers.

I own a Nokia E61 phone which I’m very happy with (leave aside the PC Suite backup problem my wife had when she upgraded to an E61 as well).

This is a bit of shameless promotion but I think it’s worthwhile never the less :-) One of the things I did lately on my day job (Yedda) was to integrate it with Twitter (check the integration here and add Yedda as your friend!).

There is a lot of buzz about Sun’s announcement of OpenID support and the fact that Sun will be giving OpenIDs for all of its employees.

I just moved to a new apartment and when I started to setup my home theater system again I’ve decided to use Bi-Wiring for my front speakers.

Whenever a new version of Ubuntu comes out I download the CD, run it in LiveCD mode and see if my Laptop (Thinkpad T43) works with everything included (video card – ATI, sound, Wireless card the Intel a/b/g wireless thingy) and succeeds in connecting to my

I’m probably the last person to talk about it, by myOpenID.com has a cool and slick new design [via Scott’s blog].

Forgive me Outlook for I have sinned.

I own a Nokia E61 cell phone.

Yaniv let the cat out of the bag about some of our ideas for making other parts of the search and its relevant data open, free and accessible to all of us.

Is it just me or Universal Binaries for Mac are a world domination scheme to increase the bandwidth usage of the world?

I’ve moved into a new theme called Aqueous-Lite.

Dave Winer says: “[…] we could make Twitter the open identity system we’ve been looking for.

I really like Amazon.

We recently got a Mac Mini to the office so that we can test Yedda better with Safari and in general how Yedda looks, feels and works on all of the various browsers on Mac (mainly Safari, FireFox, Camino and Opera).

http://upcoming.org/event/156316/ I always get a little bit envy when I see all the cool events various people arrange in the USA for all kinds of stuff.

This is going to be a long rant about the new Nokia PC Suite Content Copier backup file format and how its software is NOT compatible with previous versions and there is no mentioning anywhere from Nokia (other than the fact they changed the backup file f…

One of the advantages of OpenID is that it enabled you, the user, to consolidate various accounts on various web sites into one (or more, if you have more than one OpenID) identity.

I got the following annoying little error after I tried to upgrade to a newer mod_python on my Gentoo Linux box: �libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration It seems that the main problem was due to the fact that I’ve switched to GCC 4.1.1 and…

It seems that Martin Atkins wrote about the need for associating multiple OpenID identities to an account on the same day I wrote my (additional) input on the matter.

Continuing my previous post about OpenID and Vendor Lock-In, a reader of this blog named Andrew commented on the previous post about a problem he had with MyOpenID.com and Zooomr.

I have Gentoo Linux on my home machine and after I’ve upgraded GCC (and subsequently the whole toolchain) I wanted to compile a perl related library – crypt-rsa.

There is a lot going on about OpenID these days and a lot of claims are being raised which prevents greater adoption of OpenID by users.

After reading Grant Robertson’s post – “Taming your own river of news” I’ve decided to use Yahoo Pipes to create my online life feed (it sounds better than “Eran’s river of news”, don’t you think?)

I’m probably the last person to talk about this but Scott Kveton posted on his blog that his company, JanRain and GNR (who manages the .name top level domain) has come into partnership to deliver a solution that encompasses a .name URL for you as well as…
