General Ramblings

The new Bongo package has been compiled, packaged and promoted so it should now be available to those running the images.

I too have been watching the Mono debate with some interest as I am in the process of creating a Mono API for the Bongo Store.

Bongo Images and the 0.5 release I have been working on the images for the 0.5 release of Bongo and I have now completed them.

I have been able to rework the Bongo images to make them work.

Due to a server error where the images get built an error has crept in that make the images useless.

Cara's Feet Cara is so cute

Quite some time ago I blogged about my efforts to create a mono API for the bongo store protocol, I have unfortunately been quite busy with my personal life and also at work so this has been neglected.

Bongo 0.4 Development Images.

For some time now I have been asked why I have not released the Bongo 0.4.0 packages to the Bongo rPath repo.

Monsoon 0.20 packaged.

Bongo Mono API For quite some time now I have been trying to learn a programming language to try to get my ideas for applications built.

I have been working on getting the svn build of Bongo into the rPath repo for users to try.

Well, I remember I said to myself this year I will get the svn build for Bongo into the bongo repo on rPath.

I have been working on the product definitions for Foresight Linux repositories which will help the different versions have a common set of details.

On Friday and Saturday I was lucky enough to have gone to Linux Live in Olympia London UK and work the stand with Alex.

This evening Stu Gott dropped a bombshell on me, not literally but it had a similar impact.

I have been running the release version of VMware Server 2 and I must say I am impressed. the only problems I had were with existing VM's and upgrading the tools on them.

Ever since vmware made ESXi a free download I have wanted to install and run it at home so I can P to V my systems at home.

Well I knew it would happen and it eventually did.

I have been scarce lately as I have been working down in Plymouth on a short contract for a Art school. it was fun and I did more that I anticipated doing which is good.

Well it has been a while since the Bongo team has released a version and there is good reason for this.

Well the heading says it all.

Mypaint has now been added to FL:2-devel. from their website MyPaint is a fast and easy painting application.

Monsoon 0.15 has been committed to FL:2-devel.

LIbvirt has been updated to 4.3 in the fl:2-devel.

I am investigating video config (x config) for Foresight linux as the current config tool is a bit hit and miss.

Seems that scooter drivers have a death wish, or at least some do.

After some head scratching and help from doniphon we now have a working virt-manager, virt-viewer, virtinst and libvirtd on Foresight Linux 2-qa so hopefully soon it will be released into the main repo sometime soon.

I have packaged Monsoon for foresight 2, it has been passed though qa and is now in the main repo.

Well I was sure there was something wrong this morning as I did not have any close calls or people trying to kill me on the road today.

I have eventually been able to get a 64bit laptop.

If any of the Metropolitan police officers would like to increase their arrest numbers for the month why don't you drive in to London on the M1 at rush our.

We have now created a forum for the LiveCd so you can use that the IRC channel or the bongo-users mailing list for getting help with it.

I have finished the Live CD wiki page and I thought I would put it out there for you guys to have a look at and comment on.

This will be my platform to talk about my daily commute in to work on my Honda Transalp 650.

You all know I have been a very pessimistic South African for a very long time and well I had my reasons for being like that.

Well I have been able to get vmware running on Foresight 2 it was a bit of a mission as since Vmware have opensourced their vmware tools the foresight developers have built the tools into the kernel by default.

So I migrated my desktop to Foresight Linux v 2 It has been a bit of a bumpy ride mainly due to me being a newbie and the fact that FL:2 is still very new to market.

The much awaited release of Bongo M3 has arrived.

The new release of the Bongo Appliance Virtual Machines and install ISO's can be downloaded from the RBuilder Website If you already have an appliance running all you have to do is run your system updates through the web interface on your appliance https:…

Well in keeping with Alex’s resolution to release more this year, a new version 0.2.94 has been released.

**Well I have been so quiet lately that you probably thought I was missing.

Well this must be a sign.

I have recently been preparing to migrate my accounts running on other mail systems to Bongo as soon as we have Bongo 1.

Ok..

Well I have just returned from a long drive to Bristol (2h30 one way).

Well I have eventually started down the rpath route.

I have fixed the broken VM Thank you to all those who have downloaded the vm and are seeding it.
