I don't know if remember, but long time ago I was looking for an opensource project that could index all the files that are stored on cd's or dvd's (see this old post).
It seems somebody coded it, the name of that project is DiskSearch and it's written in Python.
and even more a free fonero...
I finally found time to hack my La Fonera (www.fon.com), of course I don't want/plan to replace the firmware of my La Fonera, it would be an injustice to install a relgular OpenWRT firmware on it, I had to do it because I'd modify the dns search of the lan and the dns provided by the dhcp from this small box.
Hello,
I received my external usb/firewire (400/800) drive, it's quiet nice not very thin but seems robust enough with some rubber protection around it and this is a good point as it's my daily work external drive !
When I plugged it in the first time I got his :
My colleague Toi received also the same disk and I saw the same icon when I plugged it in.
and the future is Open Source !!
Today I installed eyeOS for the first time, just because I was curious about this project and my first impression (that's still there now) is : THIS IS AMAZING and this is the future !
Of course some improvements should be done on the applications parts, writing some more in fact like an ssh client (I know I'm a geek), a jabber client, an irc client... but the current work is already very nice !
And all this into a tgz of 746K !
There is already a nice community around this project it seems : http://www.eyeos.org/community
I hope to find some time to test writing some applications for this web based os.
I followed during this last days many talks (10), mainly in Developer Track. I really enjoyed the talks of Gerald Carter (Jerry) on Winbind's New and Improved IDMap * Nssinfo Interface. The openchange demo was really impressive and received many applauses from the audience.
Some other talks were not so nice, some speakers should improve their speeching skill, btw I know that's not easy.
In conclusion, I was very happy to attend to this Zamba :-P conference where I've learn a lot and where I met some members of the Samba Team.
Samba 3.0.25 will be a very important release I guess.
