Using closed source software is like jumping out of a
plane with a backpack and hoping it’s a parachute.

That’s why I prefer open-source

European Championships in Rogain were held on the 11th and 12th of June in Nõva, Estonia. I and Taavi took part as Team Trafo in the 24H competition.
Thankfully, Tuljo took us there and took a few pictures of this event.
It was as fun as it can be and hopefully my left heel will get fine soon.

Yesterday, after 10 hours of Maemo hacking, we had a first album developer meeting (me, Tults and Andrus) where we discussed my new architecture and thus also my thesis. We ironed out some of the things I had missed (I wonder how I got it “excellent” :P) but the architecture itself stayed the same, except we agreed that we need also a master SQL server.
Later in the evening we talked about the bug/feature database and I promised to set up Bugzilla. It seemed a bit hard to set up on Gentoo, but the actual process isn’t as hard as I thought, you just have to do the following steps (don’t forget to change the hostname):

1. create a user for bugzilla database and give him required privileges
2. emerge bugzilla
3. /usr/sbin/webapp-config -I -h yourhost -u root -d /bugzilla bugzilla 2.18.1
4. webapp-config config asks you some simple questions, it should’t be that hard to answer these correctly
5. cd /var/www/yourhost/htdocs/bugzilla
6. edit a file called localconfig to suite your settings
7. If you wonder where to get interdiff, then emerge patchutils
8. All config set run ./checksetup which will ask you for some information
9. [Update]: You also have to add this to your apache config:
   <Directory /var/www/yourhost/htdocs/bugzilla>
Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride Limit
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
</Directory>

10. Fire up your browser and point it to http://yourhost/bugzilla

Now you need to configure it - login and select Parameters.

That’s all for today, check back soon for Subversion, MRTG and Cacti setup

Yup, that’s right. Got an “A” or “5” or “excellent” for my thesis. June 30th will be the celebration meeting.

First of all I’m a bit tired now, mainly because today I fulfilled the two final dependancies for my thesis - yeah, I did two exams today. So, at 12 o’clock on 13th of June I’ll be in front of 3 guys who will evaluate my thesis which is kind a cool, but…
…but I’ll be on II European Rogaining Championships together with Taavi from 10th to 12th. The competition itself starts also 12 o’clock on Saturday (11th) and ends on Sunday (12th) again on 12 o’clock. This means that I have less than 24 hours recovery time…

I would like to talk about catfishes too, but I better make some slides for Monday’s presentation. And the new Gnumeric (1.5.x series) really rocks!
