LUGIE October

I’m at the Linux Users Group Inland Empre (LUGIE) meeting. I’d like to give a little update on what we have been disscussing.

So far we disscussed the new Ubuntu 10.10 coming out tomorrow. There isn’t too much exciting going on there.

The most interesting things are the updates to Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE) and the addition of commercial software to the software center.

Currently UNE doesn’t work on my Aspire One due to issues with the driver and acceleration.

The next presentation that was dived into was concerning the highly hackable Arduino board. Conveinently Ubuntu 10.10 has the software in the repos to program with it out of the box.

The presenter has shown us his project and his attempts to create a plain interface using gcc to code as opposed to the pretty IDE it uses by default.

Updated my site

I just updated the theme for pauldarr.org. In addition I added a function for the recent web design clients that I have had to have the ability to pay me online. I think I will flesh out that section more. I also put a contact page up and expanded my stalker section (links to my networks). Then for fun there is a Google Translate button. Now friends from all over the world can read my site in badly translated versions of their native tongue.
