Well, I remember I said to myself this year I will get the svn build for Bongo into the bongo repo on rPath. It has taken a awhile but I now have the 0.4 svn version available in the repository. I will also be creating a few VM's of the experimental new rPath 2 version of the Bongo appliance. WARNING!!!!!! The Web UI …

I have been working on the product definitions for Foresight Linux repositories which will help the different versions have a common set of details. I will try to blog as much as possible about this so that everyone knows where I am at. I am currently setting up a test definition on my playground repo so that I can …

On Friday and Saturday I was lucky enough to have gone to Linux Live in Olympia London UK and work the stand with Alex. As Alex has blogged the show was very quiet and it seems the .org village was an afterthought to the organisers. As Alex said in his blog http://www.alexhudson.com I think that there was not enough …

This evening Stu Gott dropped a bombshell on me, not literally but it had a similar impact. The people at rPath have run a report on our little project and I was shocked to say the least when I found out that the Bongo appliance has been downloaded 0ver 7000 times. I seem to remember thinking this is a nice small …

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. And also VM's that have open-vm-tools installed. After updating the tools the systems all have been functioning just fine over the last few weeks and …

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. And save money on electricity. And before you ask I have looked at the Xen and Virtualbox and Kvm solutions but have found them not quite ready fro my prime time. I had been running vmware server …

Well I knew it would happen and it eventually did. I was going to work this morning and I had to swerve for a black porsche and my bike dropped. I landed on my right hand side and slid down the road. I have a few bruises and bumps and will be seeing the doctor tomorrow morning. The bike is in the shop at the moment I …

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. Hopefully I will be able to get back to my Opensource stuff soon.

Well it has been a while since the Bongo team has released a version and there is good reason for this. Over the last few months since the release of 0.3.0 the developers have been rewriting a large proportion of the store code. Alex realised that the old one was not as efficient as it could be when there were large …

Well the heading says it all. On my way in to work today I was almost flattened in by a granny in a BMW X5 and another one in a Jaguar XJ something(I did not see as I was trying to save my life). Both of the lady’s just changed lanes without even looking in their mirrors. The one could not even see her mirrors as they …
