itunes, fedora, firefox… flock next?
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005Our friend/fellow OSS supporter jiyuu0/Chua Wen Kiat, is sick. He’s from the famed fedoraguide.org, and the definitely more popular ubuntuguide.org. He also ran (or runs?) MyOSC, an open source outreach program to colleges and universities in Malaysia. Let’s hope he gets better.
Caught The Wedding Date. Its actually quite nice, one of those feel good pick me up movies. I think its to balance my heavy pizza diet, where delivery boys rush to send food my way, to get their daily dose of tipping (well, you see, most of the parlors are about a five minute drive away from my house, I’m just a lazy sod). Along the lines, I also caught Finding Neverland (not bad), and I Heart Huckabees (silly, waste of time).
So everyone’s jumping that the iTunes Music Store launched in Australia? A farce I tell you. Songs at AUD$1.69, thats USD$1.27. Why am I paying USD$0.28 more? Besides, I can’t download buy Desperate Housewives, because thats only available to the US store, right? And welcome to Australia, the land of fast Internet, with quotas. Movies quickly add up to the download quota.
Over the weekend, got productive and installed a Fedora snapshot. I give you Nerd Porn! Folk will notice the installer got a lot simpler, because a lot of the functionality moved over to firstboot. Partitioning is a lot simpler now, and comes on early during the install.
I finally got Firefox Deer Park Alpha 2 building on PPC. Need to disable visibility pragmas for it to actually build (on both FC-4 or Rawhide).
