mig5 | don't do that.

Props to Linode, who provide Xen virtual private servers (one of which this site is hosted on).

I just ticked over 100 days of uptime, and thus of being a Linode customer. They really are a fantastic bunch. The community is great, the value for money is outstanding, and the features (such as out-of-band console access to your VPS) are innovative.

End shameless plug! But thanks guys :)

Since I wrote a Howto for installing Laconica on Debian Lenny, I thought I'd demonstrate that it works :)

Update: So I just discovered that the installation of Ulteo wiped out my Apache default vhost config in sites-enabled.. which was serving other stuff on my machine. Be very, very careful, as I don't see this in the documentation anywhere...

I've installed Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop on my home Debian server to check it out.. I read about Ulteo quite some time ago, when Gaël Duval announced the project after being sacked by Mandriva. Essentially it is a virtualisation solution, but differs from others in that the virtualised desktop runs inside a browser window.

Here's a quick howto on installing Laconica on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) with a PostgreSQL database backend.

I've been a Drupal user since the days of 4.x, and I've seen the project and its contributions grow immensely throughout the years. I've had a wide range of successes (and disasters, sometimes Drupal is not the answer for everything) implementing the fantastic opensource CMS for various organisations and campaigns.

This is the first time in a while I've been genuinely excited about where Drupal-inspired creativity can go.
