gnome-pkgview 1.0.2 Released

Posted in Packages on Monday 25th August 2003 at 2:48pm

gnome-pkgview is a tool for inspecting the versions of GNOME libraries installed on your system. The information is often useful when submitting bug reports or diagnosing system problems.

Version 1.0.2 (Effra) updates lots of translations, and adds detection of various popular distributions, changing the logo as appropriate.

	gnome-pkgview-1.0.2.tar.gz
	gnome-pkgview-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm
	gnome-pkgview-1.0.2-1.src.rpm

A gentoo ebuild is available here courtesy of Matt Schick.

New Website Code

Posted in Updates on Sunday 24th August 2003 at 8:13pm

Well, for better or worse the new site code is written and appears to be working. Also hopefully managed to salvage and port as much of the content as possible. Sophisticated it ain't, and there is some debate about whether it works at all on Internet Explorer. It should hopefully mean that its a bit easier to keep the site updated and the pages of reasonable size. I'll keep tweaking things, and see how it works out. Bug reports as ever are welcome. I've called the code Areopagitica after John Milton's essay on license-free publishing.

Its been a strange few weeks of disappointments and surprises. Actually managing to get this site done in the last couple of days of my unplanned and badly-scheduled (but much needed) holiday, has been a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

The George Gissing Discussion List

The list is back online following a hardware upgrade which has solved all previous problems.

I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.

I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
