Lernid 0.2 Released | jonobacon@home

Lernid 0.2 Released

I am pleased to announce an early snapshot release of Lernid: a little program to make connecting to Ubuntu learning events simple. Lernid is still very much in development, and still needs lots of work before it is ready for our next event, but I have had people badgering me for a package, so here it is. :-)

You can get it from my PPA by running the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonobacon
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lernid

This release fixes a bunch of bugs, includes some further layout improvements, and completes the plumbing on the first-cut of the Telepathy driven classroom IRC pane. Lernid has been translated into 27 languages, but we currently have a bug in displaying them. This should be fixed in the next release.

A few screenshots:

This is a neat way to get people into the Ubuntu community, as well as help them learn about new and different ways of using their computers. Great idea, and great program, Jono!

MikeeUSA spam

I've been getting spam on my blog from MikeeUSA.

Please see the full writeup here.

Needless to say, I'm not tolerating it.  I'm documenting everything.

Also, this is not cross-posted, as my blog post will be sent everywhere.

Laptop Repair

An article on my blog about System76's repair services.  Keep in mind that I was still in warranty and I'm somewhat techy.

Most people that read this will also get my blog RSS and/or my Tumblr, so I'm not mass-posting around.

Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
