sheepy.org - sheepy goings on...

Just found this via Chase Jarvis' Blog.

The concept is quite cool although I'm not convinced we'll see it used that much in the way it has on GE's Ecomgination site. A bit too much hassle for my liking.

The tech is taken care of by the FLARToolKit if anyone is interested.

Some people are just too transparent :)

It would appear that even if you install ONLY the sun java package it
drags in some GNU java stuff as well.

You can go through everything in /etc/alternatives and update it
manually but that is somewhat time consuming.

Instead just run:

sudo /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives --set java-1.5.0-sun

and this will sort everything :)

Somone appears to have created a online storage and sync thing that actually works:

Dropbox - Home - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy.

Few grips thou:

• It requires nautilus
• Not obvious how to create an account (it's not on the website, the client does it)
• The initial dialog box (which you use to sign up for an account) takes an age to appear

All that aside it works wonderfully, copy file into ~/Dropbox and it syncs automatically :)

... oh and it versions files too
... and only sends binary diffs

Another one I've just added to my feedlist,

http://blog.kovyrin.net/

some interesting stuff, especially on the MySQL front.

He is also the author of the MySQL Master-Master Replication Manager
which can be found here:

definitely something I'll be looking at.
