I’ve been using the release cores for a long time now, and they’re outstanding. Definitely, my browser of choice!

This new version includes:

  • Lot’s of security enhancements
  • It’s easier to use
  • Even more customizable
  • Easier to develop plugins
  • Performance has increased

Furthermore, the community is trying to achieve the Guiness World Record on most downloaded software in 24 hours in the day the browser is released, so, come on, try the best available browser and help them achiving that! Bad thing about it, the offial site went down in no time!

And it’s out! The second open source powered movie, made from Blender, has been released. I’m already downloading it, from bittorrent, and anxious to watch it! Obviously, the download is completely free, but you can choose to order the DVD to support the team and the next open movie.

If you’re wandering, the first open movie was Elephant Dreams and I remember that the image quality was really something, so I’m really looking forward to this one!

CubeCraft is here for those of you!

The idea is simple: download the image, print it, cut, fold and it’s done. You don’t even need glue. I’ve made two of them, and they really rock! Have fun!

It’s now using the latest 2.5.1 and, I think, it looks neat:)

Also, after testing my SSH keys, I’ve found out that they were vulnerable due to a patch in Debian, which made the random number generator guesseable. If you’re running a ssh-server, in a Debian-based distribution, you should test if your keys are compromised.

To everyone who got interested in my last post, this version already ships all the mtp stuff needed to connect to those new creative mp3 players. I’ve worked a bit myself on it, by merging the latest libmtp.

Another great feature is the disk manager. From now on, whenever you plug in a new disk, you can graphically set it. Not aware of fstab? Not needed anymore!
