Via Planetalinux.mx, I read this post by César Espino refering to Wordle. Quoting from Wordle’s main page: Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. I could not resist it. I even went to a computer with a...

Firefox 3 allowed me to grant an exception on a self-signed SSL certificate for penta.debconf.org. The connection is crypted… But it seems Firefox does not realize it Attachments (27 KB) Comments Anonymous 2008-06-26 00:15:13 True, “Not encrypted” is True, “Not encrypted” is wrong, and “partially encrypted” would better describe the connection. But because the browser gets the images/css through a plaintext link, a lot of information can/will leak: the adress of the https page will be available in the clear (broweser submits it in the referer field) if the site encodes login&passwd in the URL (..?id=123&pass=456), this infocmation is available...

I have to agree with Wouter regarding Firefox Iceweasel 3’s suckyness. It might be a superior product in many fronts (I prefer it overall to its predecesor), but were it not for the usefulness of its many available extensions (most notably Web Developer, which has become an integral part of my everyday life), I’d have jumped ship for basically any other browser. I’m just… adding an <AOL>ME TOO!</AOL> on Wouter’s comments… WTF, just go to about:config… So… Are you telling me that Firefox (even if it were the original, Mozilla-blessed version) has a warranty? No? Didn’t think so… Go to...

Not only dumb, but irreal… Firefox/Iceweasel has no warranty Attachments (34 KB)

Andrew asks about Linux-friendly eSATA controllers. A long time ago, I also looked for some - but basically no one seems to know about that, or will try to rip your eyes for it. In January, however, I looked for (and bought) an external USB enclosure for SATA disks. As portability was more important than speed, I only asked for USB. Good, got the kit, paid for it. The external enclosure had an external eSATA port. Not only that, it shipped with a standard PC expansion slot bracket and adaptor - Yes, it connects to your internal SATA port, and...

In this Free Software movement we have many mottos - One of which, describing what motivates us to work writing code, is scratch where it itches. Of course, I could not keep it to myself - Almost a week ago, I took part of the World Naked Bike Ride. What I didn’t tell you… Is that it became obvious I cannot reach most of by back - And it’s because I’m mostly careless. When the WNBR started, it was still quite cloudy, even starting to rain… so I was mostly careless. If you opened the newspaper PDF I attached to...

Several people have approached me (or I’ve stumbled upon their sites) asking me about something called Debian 5.0 Beta 2. It. Is. Not. That. Please read clearly the announcement for Debian Installer lenny beta 2 - Yes, I understand this reached many people who are not involved in Debian but are enthusiastic users nevertheless. In short: The only thing that reached the beta is the debian-installer program (usually called just d-i), the amazing piece of code that handles a Debian installation in your system. And yes, it is meant for wide testing and work. But please, do not take this...
