Fedora 10 Beta

I tested Fedora 9 on my Eeepc 900, but wireless wasn't working (even with livna madwifi kmod I wasn't able to join my fon). But before putting back the original distribution on it, I tested Fedora 10 Beta. And I was very happy with it. I just had one day of no-productivity with it due to a bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461205) that forced my to use vesa driver for my Xorg. With this morning's update everything runs perfectly. I even installed my favorite IM software (pidgin) and found two nice plugins for people using Facebook and/or Twitter: - purple-facebookchat - purple-microblog I also recommend to use Epiphany instead of Firefox 3, the cpu eater, on an Eeepc ! So I don't have anymore plans to re-intall xandros on my Eeepc :-D

Gimp User Filter

Yesterday I read an article[1] on Linux.com about gimp-userfiler[2], a project I tested in the earliest version. As I'm a fan of The Gimp, I could not let it pass... So I tested it again last night and I was very happy to see that it works... and it even works great ! The project of Jens Ch. Restemeier and Torsten Neuer allows to import Photoshop(tm) filters to The Gimp. Here are some screenshots of importing .ffl files (from [3]) and using them: Some examples : I've also created an rpm for Fedora 9 x86_64 ( not using checkinstall ;-) ) I'm very happy with this project that improve again the value of The Gimp!

My knee

My knee is the culprit of my absence on the Net (irc, jabber, blog, comments) these days. I underwent a rebuilding (transplant) of the former cross ligament :-( So I'll not be active on the Net still for a while...

OTRS

The operation of my knee is a success, but now I've 2 weeks at home. During that time I'd like to start the analyse of a rma module for OTRS that I've to develop soon. I've already checked ITSM and SIRIOS modules but none of them fill my needs. If you have some experience, howto's, example let me know by posting a comment on my post. Thanks.
