Linux as a Work in Progress







Linux as a Work in Progress

Linux as a Work in Progress 05/05/2004 10:45 PM

In a comment over on Kasia's blog, David said: Consider Linux as a work in progress..things are going to be a-changing, so tomorrow you may not even see that problem. It might have already been fixed..things are constantly improving. That got me wondering a bit. How does a linux distribution "decide" when it's time to cut a new release, anyway? I really have no idea what the process is like. I do have an idea how the MySQL folks decide...

Progress in Linux on the Desktop 03/08/2004 11:18 PM
Paul Andrews has some positive things to say about two desktop Linux distributions. Key quote: "Available in a number of 'flavors,' Linux isn't perfect. But if there's one generalization that characterizes the state of desktop Linux today, it's that you finally don't have to sweat the small stuff."

What do you do when your ISP tells you the reason your Windows box can't connect to the network is because its network drivers got corrupted? You download new drivers using your Linux client and use Sneakernet to move them to Windows. USB storage devices like M-Systems' DiskOnKey are extremely useful for ad hoc chores like this, and I was lucky to have one on hand. But how to make Linux mount the device as seamlessly as Windows does?

In many situations, accurately estimating the length of a certain process (copying a large file, loading data from a server, retrieving files from the Internet) would be both difficult and inefficient. What you end up with is a process that is going to take long enough to make the user wait, yet you have no easy way to indicate the percentage of the task that has completed. A regular progress bar would be rather meaningless, so you need some form of "Working…" indicator.

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much

11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.

Progress on TopStyle Pro 3.11


Progress on TopStyle Pro 3.11 06/24/2004 02:46 PM

Even though I'm posting more about FeedDemon lately, most of my work these days has been with the upcoming TopStyle Pro 3.11. Version 3.11 will focus on bug fixes rather than new features, and will be a free upgrade for existing 3.10 customers. I don't have an expected release date at the moment, but it shouldn't be more than a few weeks before a beta is available.

BTW, among the problems fixed already are these two bugs, which have been the most commonly reported ones:

  • The file panel paints a "ghost" image when the screen resolution is above 1024x768 (only occurs on certain graphics cards)
  • Access violation on Windows 98 when viewing files that have a corrupt (or missing) creation date

I've been making some progress on polishing off the new web design. Below are some things I've fixed worth noting:

  • Disabling of Javascript in comment links.
  • RSS improvements
    • The RSS feed works in aggregators now (like Sinderella and Amphetadesk).
    • I've added the dc:date field to my feed now for easier viewing in aggregation programs.

And some things I'm working on:

  • I am working on getting my CMS ready for release.
  • New email validation for the comments.
  • Extensive mac testing (the Mac I was using for testing at work was taken away for repair. I've heard Safari doesn't work with the dynamic stuff here, I'll be correcting that ASAP).
  • Comment previewing
  • Non-dynamic commenting
  • Switching to a new webhost (reccomendations?)

Elsewhere, one of my two cats is being features over at Stonefishspine's ZenCat. This is the rather large, but perpetually friendly (despite how he looks in the photo) Monty. Drop by and leave a haiku.
