Our team at OSSO is growing and we are working on a new website. This time one that should actually be good. We are also preparing to a special open source sub-site where we will list our current open source projects. And as an addition we have a few larger projects in the pipeline to open source.

After 3 years of participating in NN-Open, I decided to step back as boardmember, as I do simply not have the time anymore to contribute anything significant and it didn’t make me tick anymore.

On a more personal note, in August I will be visiting Russia for a week to attend the wedding of one of my dear brothers.

But that will probably change in a few weeks, when its released. I upgraded my laptop and my desktop to karmic in the last week and I am quite impressed. The look & feel improved and everything is integrated very well. Shiny.

    The desktop just connects… It also seems Ubuntu is slowly extending to the web with Ubuntu One. It seems quite cool. If you don’t mind storing your documents at a 3rd party, it does give you a lot easiness with exchanging files between computers or with friends. It is obviously beta, but the core functionality seem to work well (synchronizing files) and it looks good.

    KVM (virtualisation) integration also seems very promising, I will test that later.

It can be disable it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config with the following option:

Explains why grep didn’t show the variables in question being set in the code while the variables actually are set.

    In this case the theme (gear) set some nice options in there and didn’t respect the global wordpress configuration. After changing the site URL in wordpress, the theme kept requesting theme images on the old URL because the full image urls were stored in the database at theme-install-time. Apparently. Garbage!
