From time to time I go back to Jamendo looking for something new to listen. Every time I get amazed by the quality of some of the albums that can be found there.

This time what drew my attention was the <a href="http://awards.jamendo.com/en/jamendoAwards2011">Jamendo Awards 2011</a>, which have been organized to both promote the ...

I've been on vacation since the Wednesday, and it's going to stay like that for a week to come. During this time I'm planning on relaxing a bit and making a migration of my mail+XMPP server, as well as playing with some other stuff.

This time I've decided to use the LDAP as a back-end, ...

You've really got to be amazed at the pace <strike>Red Hat</strike> Fedora likes to deploy new technologies on its <strike>guinea pigs</strike> users. Reading today's <a href="http://lwn.net/">LWN</a> RSS feeds, I've ran into the following jewel - <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/446925/">Fedora 16 to use Btrfs as its default filesystem</a>.

I have finally remedied this issue, converted the photos to appropriate sizes and ...

In today's day and age I still find myself drawn to the old music from times before I was born.

Or... How to learn (the hard way) that some applications are simply lagging behind in terms of security...

Anyway, I've been back working on my Free Software X.509 Cookbook, and started writing about setting-up an <a href="http://www.ejbca.org/">EJBCA</a> OCSP responder, when I found myself hitting the wall while trying to set-up use of SSL ...

Seeing that the <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/">LibreOffice</a> package has been just "soft-masked" as testing in Gentoo, I've decided to uninstall the <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice.org</a> and give it a go. I was particularly interested about the support for <em>OOXML</em> standard (sic). This started off yesterday in what was supposed to be a simple and fast ...

With this year's <a href="http://fosdem.org">FOSDEM</a> conference finally over, I'm back to Serbia, and I've finally managed to get some time to put down my impressions after resting a bit.

I've flown into Brussels on Friday, February 4th, and checked in a nice little hotel called <a href="http://www.beausitebrussels.com/">Hotel beau Site</a>. It was ...

My last year's impressions from the <a href="http://www.fosdem.org/2011/">FOSDEM</a> were quite positive, and the entire trip to Brussels and staying there has been very pleasurable. I was really enjoying the change and the chance to find myself amongst people who share similar views on software development like I do. Thus, it comes to no ...
