Posting from Lynx, so I will probably lose many of my edits.
Today, we battled a Windows installation inside a Mac. Using elderly device drivers was entertaining: “Get values” meant load the full hardware configuration from the hardware. “Modify” was a button that wanted you to first select the label of a property, then press that button.
To finally upload the configuration, you press “Set”.
Terse and sweet.
A TODO: If you, like I do, use the K2 theme, just update to a nightly.
These 5 remaining issues suggest it. Go, go, go!
I’m all excited, here. Perhaps a minor release party’d be in order.
Update: yay, it’s here, cboos is a great releasing manager.
If you know, tell me in a comment, and I’ll give you a cookie.
I’d been dismissive, even reluctant, about all this laser-cutting and engraving with laser. Until today. The beams were quite persuasive.
Got my first hit of “foxic tumes” today, as the huge behemoth that 1scale1 co-bought fired its way through the plexiglass I’d bought the day before.
The behemoth was Hong Kong-bought, came with no support, and very little documentation (150 pages of incorrect data; photos of defunkt, non-delivered parts) – but the price was not to argue about. There was another Swedish university-level institution that owned another machine from the company, and were happy with it.
If you’re not geek, this laser meme is as huge as brit-pop was when I was younger and dumber.
The significance is: soon they’re done fiddling with it, and know the settings. That will mean pay-per-cut laser work.
If you’re a PHP user, you might want to follow the php-internals talk. But it’s a very talky mailing list. So, “follow” it. From afar. My medicine is to go to the web interface like once a month, and just look at the interesting headings.
“We have packaged PHP 5.3.0beta1! Go test-run your PHP apps. Should be interesting.
Also: “The PHP TestFest is a worldwide event in which PHP user groups and individuals contribute to PHP by writing tests for PHP.” Testfest at wiki and at the QA team’s page.
And, the PHP5 buglist.
