New website design
So I made myself a new website design. It’s live on ianweller.org.
It’s based off of the 960 Grid System. I’m going to start distributing the WordPress theme after I clean up the code (a lot).
Comments appreciated.
Creative Commons Highlight: Zuan Carreño
Alright, I’ve decided that I’m going to highlight some really awesome artists or creators of cultural works that license their works under a Creative Commons license.
First off is Zuan Carreño, who has some really delicious photography that you can find on flickr. It’s licensed under a CC-BY-NC-ND license. Some of my favorites:
If you want to follow these Creative Commons Highlights, I’ve set them up as a category on my blog (feed). I won’t always be posting them to Fedora Planet or other aggregates.
This is how marketing is done
Note the tags. :P
By the way, the 2008 Creative Commons fundraising campaign is going on now. Go support a great cause, and tell others to do the same.
On a completely unrelated note, my colleague and I received first place at a debate tournament Tuesday night.
Four day weekend
Thanks to random school scheduling, I have a four day weekend. Woo!
Of course… two of the days were shot out for debate tournaments. Yesterday my colleague and I got third at the Manhattan HS tourney, out of 22 teams, which we were extremely happy about. Another tournament on Tuesday afternoon…
fedora-business-cards 0.2
I’ve released fedora-business-cards, the Fedora business card generator (aptly named, eh?) as version 0.2.
Tarball – Specfile and SRPM – git repository
This is a prerelease version; I don’t make any guarantees of its usability, functionality, or awesomeness. There are two known bugs: I haven’t written any new documentation, and letters with accent marks (such as “Máirín Duffy”) don’t show up properly in the MgOpen Moderna font. Both are being worked on.
I don’t plan to put it in Fedora until I get a tangible release, possibly with a graphical frontend (not highly necessary, though). Running
fedora-business-cards --help
after installing should help you get started; the CLI interface is pretty straightforward.
And yeah, you need a FAS account to create these.
The aftermath
Upon opening up the computer formerly known as slartibartfast today, it was made apparent that the power supply was fried, as were three capacitors between the processor and the ports on the back of the case. These capacitors were leaning over and were pretty badly singed on the top.
The hard drive works perfectly fine and is currently running the “new” slartibartfast off of some older hardware. My current setup is kinda weird… the old hardware doesn’t have a sound card, and I’m far too lazy to move the one that (supposedly) works from former-slarti, so I’ve mounted my music directory onto my Eee PC via sshfs and hooked up the speakers to that. It works.
I guess I need to go parts shopping again. *sigh*
