gecko-sharp, ipod, servers

I finally got around to verifying my gecko-sharp/https bug with latexer and reporting it upstream. Basically, the gecko WebControl widget crashes when accessing SSL/https, while epiphany/mozilla handle things fine. This’ll be a showstopper for the new Glimmr, thanks to the whole new Yahoo/Flickr authentication system.

I received my 60G iPod yesterday, so there went a whole night of ripping my CD collection. Yet to play with it under linux, as soon as I get the newest rhythmbox into portage I’ll play with it and GtkPod. I’m also looking forward to having a go at Calendar/Contact sync’ing which was worked on as part of a Gnome.org bounty.

Finally, I’ll be working the weekend tomorrow and reinstalling our file server at work. It’s currently running some ancient Mandrake version, installed by the tech guy before me. I’ve got to be a bit careful as it’s holding about 500G of graphics work for the “pretty pictures department” that I really don’t want to lose.
