DJS Consulting Tech Blog
Technical Information You Can Use (or not – but hey, at least it's free!)

We have created a software repository, where users can browse files that may be available. The base location is http://www.djs-consulting.com/linux/software. Within there, there are a few areas.

• /sled and /opensuse — These contain add-on CD images for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) and openSUSE, created by Mike Petersen. These add-ons provide multimedia and gaming capabilities that don’t come with SLED unless you purchase the support or compile them yourselves. These images can be added as resources in YaST.
• /xine — This contains the 64-bit RPMs for xine (the latest three), both xine-lib and xine-ui. New releases will continue to get their own posts, but that’s where they will be.

Enjoy!

Sorry for the lack of new content (although I did download and build the latest release of xine). I’ve been working on a community-based volunteer effort in Albuquerque, New Mexico called Not So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition. I’m handling the public website, as well as a private side that the leaders can use to track lots of different things. I’m going to have some good stuff I’ve discovered out here once we’re done (along with lots of praise to heap on PostgreSQL – I have a new “most favorite” open source database), but for the rest of March, I’ll likely be incommunicado.

Happy Easter – see you in April!

Version 2.3 of WordPress, the blogging software I use to produce this blog (as well as the other blogs on my site), will be released later today. I’ll be upgrading these blogs on Monday evening. There have been major pieces of WordPress that have been re-worked, and those are causing some plug-ins to not work correctly. None of my blogs are all that reliant on plug-ins – the “Share This” plug-in is the main one, and it’s been verified in 2.3 already.

There’s lots more information on the WordPress Development Blog – I won’t go into the details here. I’m confident this will be a smooth upgrade. I just wanted to let you know in case some things look strange, I’m on it.

Welcome to the DJS Consulting Tech Blog. This blog is a place where I plan to posts tips and other information regarding technology (AKA “geek stuff”). This will allow me to keep my personal blog non-technical.

I have imported my old “My Linux Adventure” posts from 2004 here, to allow the to be indexed and searchable.  I noticed, in the process, that some of the information is somewhat dated – take it for what it’s worth, which is twice what you paid for it!

I hope that the information here will be beneficial to you.

With my inability to get my network working, I have resigned myself to running WXP.  Work is starting to get really busy, and my personal life is as well.  Maybe at some point in the future I can fire things back up and play some more.

The power supply has been ordered, but I’m going out of town between the 19th and the 26th, so it probably won’t make it here before I leave. This adventure will have to resume at that point.
