This is a couple of days late, but worth to mention anyhow. This last Wednesday I was invited to attend the monthly Northern NJ MySQL Meetup meeting. It took place at the local Panera Bread in Paramus and I had to drive like a lunatic through traffic, afraid I was going to be late for it. Turns out traffic wasn’t as bad and I managed to arrive 30 minutes earlier.

When: Wednesday, November 2, 2005, 8:00 PM Where: Panera Bread 165 Rt 4 West Paramus Place Paramus, NJ 07652 201-368-0752 What: We’ll be doing a small MySQL 5 installfest! Bring in your laptop, desktop, hell… bring in your server rack too! Join and reserve a spot here.

Thanks to Clint, I now have a good list of advice for raising my child! Since you’ve been filling up Planet Debian with you “literary work” these days, have you considered possibly a new career?

Browsing Flickr the other day for pictures tagged with the word “Linux”, I came across the screenshot of a tool for uploading pictures to your Flickr account from your desktop. Now, I know F-Spot can do that too but this one seemed to be so simple! I haven’t had a chance to test it yet, so… head on down to the developer’s web site and check out how to download and install it!

In the attempt to attract more people to the organized effort of translating a large number of Open Source applications from English to other languages, here’s a small HOWTO. Hope to be able to inspire more people to join in. First, register (FREE) yourself here: LaunchPad, “a collection of services for projects in the open source universe. You can register your project, and then collaborate with the open source community on translations, bug tracking and code.

No, this is not a post about the creation of the universe and such. Planet “is a flexible feed aggregator. It downloads news feeds published by web sites and aggregates their content together into a single combined feed, latest news first." In other words, it is one of the best ideas since the sliced bread was invented. I have come to rely heavily on planets to get my daily dose of tech news (as you can see from the blogs I have listed here)… Planet Gnome, Planet Debian, Planet Ubuntu… there seems to be a planet for almost anything you can think of.
