WordPress lovers and the blog-curious should come along and join the fun! Read more »

Kevin Kubasik: Moved Blog to WordPress.com
http://kkubasik.wordpress.com –
I know that my blog has been pretty quite the past few months (I’ve been super-busy!) but kubasik.net was never really meant to host the traffic this blog was generating, so to make things easier on all 6 of you who read it, I have moved the blog to WordPress.com. There are still redirects at Kubasik.net/blog as best as it can, but let me know if you are finding dead links!

gksudo gedit
kdesu kate
gksudo mousepad
if you want to edit with a graphical editor, and use plain sudo only with terminal editors. Read more »
Daniel Holbach: Combining Bug Jams and Packaging Jams
http://daniel.holba.ch –
Today is another Bug Jam day in Berlin. Hope to see you all at c-base later on.
At some of the last Bug Jams, Berlin’s release party and other conversations I’ve had, there were lots of of requests for coupling Bug Jams and Packaging Jams. The “Fixing a bug in Ubuntu - it’s easier than you think” session at Ubuntu Open Week last Friday showed me how much excitement there is and that it’s probably a good idea.
Looking forward, it’d be great to have more of those sessions: more sessions, more cities, more topics. Read more »
Christer Edwards: Relaying Postfix SMTP via smtp.gmail.com
http://feeds.feedburner.com –
I’ve got a few servers in different places around the country and try to monitor them using the logwatch utility. One problem that I’ve run into however is that a few of these servers are not able to send their logwatch emails to me, based on email restrictions by the ISPs. I spent some time this afternoon researching what was required to have my servers authenticate to my gmail account and send me the mail that way. This setup assumes Ubuntu 8.04 (or later) and Postfix.
