Google Talk though Pidgin on Ubuntu

I realized today how much I rely on gTalk to share files and otherwise talk to people at work and my side business. It will be a must if I am to switch operating systems at the house.

Google talk through pidgin

I did also find an open source magazine today through digg. It seems to be kinda neat. full circle magazine

This is one that I found long ago. Google Magazine

Ubuntu on the nice box at the house revisted (again)

I have always at least tried it out but had to go back to xp for something. I tried out Vista because of the new media center included in Vista Ultimate, but there always seems to be a catch to get it up and running. (its a story in itself, but I buy one card and I end up needing 2 more)

Anyways, so the ubuntu is ideal because this computer is going to be a media center as well as a workstation in my bedroom.

The last excuse for going back to XP was ntfs reading/writing. This now seems to be a little more stable and only takes a few minutes to set up now..

Build your own server: Xubuntu

This article explains the ins and outs of setting up a general purpose server based from Xubuntu. This version of the debian-based Ubuntu, is built to be light-weight, so it can run on those spare parts that have been building up in that room you've been meaning to clean for how long??

This tutorial is more the gui approach to setting everything up using Syntaptic. I still prefer apt-get in the command line, but what do you do.. And without further ado:

Ubuntu and Tomcat 6 server

I'm wanting to play with the java environment now that I've programmed in C# for as long as I have. I think it should be interesting. But I am going to need a test server to run things on once I start getting things going.

mono = .net for linux

I'm experimenting with Mono, a cross platform alternative that allows to extend the .Net framework onto non-Windows based hosting environments. (in our case, anything that supports Apache and its mod_mono module) I have installed it and am running a custom ASP.Net app that I wrote for a client. It seems to be working smoothly.

There was a little bit of hassle getting it going though. It turns out that ASP.Net 2.0 isn't completely supported, so we had to make sure to run through the beta server of mono-apache-server2.

I'm running through Ubuntu because of its easy debian based architecture for getting everything setup really easily, and it seems to be running like a champ.

A summer photo gallery

I want to mix up these two projects

ZenPhoto - home / example
Hoverbox - home/example

I want to have the ZenPhoto as it is, but on the main category listing, I want the hover feature on mouse over of the image for that category or the title/link of the category.

Should prove interesting..

This guy got picasa to work with Gallery, an open source gallery system with its own photo upload program.

new memory for the desktop

I found this cheap memory online, turns out to be $50 cheaper than the nicer name brand memory - partriot, from newegg.com

I'm planning on buying 4gb of ram for the desktop. Sick of screwing with a slow machine.. It's a p4 box running 3.2ghz processor.. So we'll see how this fares up..
