Danilo Å egan, lead developer for the Rosetta translation tool sent an email to the Ubuntu translators list yesterday with some great news related to the policy of how upstream translations are managed: Launchpad Translations has changed the translation precedence policy with the December release: now upstream (“packaged”) translations will be given more priority in specific cases. Yet, Launchpad Translations keeps the ability to override any specific upstream translation if so is desired.

Last week I received an invitation to join the LXDE project, “an extremely faster, performing and energy saving desktop environment maintained by an international community of developers”, to collaborate and help organize their translation effort. As I have maintained the Brazilian Portuguese translation for Openbox, one of the components that make up LXDE, and am very much involved with the translation of GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and other modules, I felt very compelled to accept the invitation.

A Daiane entrou em contado comigo esta semana para me apresentar ao seu blog, Vivo Verde, “destinado a todo e qualquer assunto de termos “ambientais”, seja ele voltado ao solo, mineração, vegetação, saneamento, hidrologia, geoprocessamento, meteorologia e mudanças climáticas, resíduos Sólidos, poluição, desmatamento dentre outros.” Como muitos devem saber, moro em uma pequena e pacata cidade em North Carolina desde 2006. Antes disso passei mais de 15 anos morando no noroeste de New Jersey, tão perto de New York City que era dificial saber quando terminava um e começava o outro estado (não fosse pelo pedágio de US$10 para atravessar a ponte George Washington todos os dias quando ia trabalhar).

I’ve re-designed the dialog for adding or editing a bill for my pet project BillReminder and am now in need of help to improve the user interface a bit more before releasing another version. I figured someone out there may either have the answer or have more free time at their disposal than me. :) Here’s what the dialog looks like right now: The issue is related to the option of adding recurring bills, which a user can do by changing the Repeat field to something other than Once (i.

For the past few days I’ve been working on setting up a minimalistic music server for home. As I am always doing some crazy things to my desktop/laptop that eventually leads me to re-install my operating system, I find myself constantly moving music files between computers and external media. When you have a decent sized music library, this excercise starts to become a major pain. That’s how I came up with the idea of creating a media server using mt-daapd as my tool of choice.

Built a MT-Daapd Linux appliance to share my music at home. Installed it in a machine with 1GB of RAM and am now as happy as I can be. The whole thing weighs in at 237MB (I’ve included vim, openssh, libogg plus a few other nuggets) and off course everything is managed by the awesome conary technology. I’ve also added ushare (upnp support) and am hoping to make it so that sharing videos and music can be all done via a web interface.

Se você curte o Openbox e quer brincar com a versão 3.4.8 RC1, faça o download aqui: http://icculus.org/openbox/releases/openbox-3.4.8-rc1.tar.gz. Note que você vai ter de fazer uma modificação no obconf substituindo ‘obrender-3.0’ e ‘obparser-3.0’ por ‘obrender-4.0’ e ‘obparser-4.0’ respectivamente no arquivo configure.ac. Ou se você usar uma distribuição baseada no systema conary, existe uma versão empacotada diretamente do repositório git que você pode instalar executando o comando sudo conary update openbox=foresightlinux.rpath.org@fl:2-devel.
