hamster-time-tracker for Fedora 18

To track my time I used hamster-applet with the previous version of Fedora and I really liked it. It integrates perfectly with gtg.

This project hasn't be ported to Fedora 18, see bug 882788. I decided then to package the latest version of the project.

The git repo is available here.

You can see some screenshots here.

If you enjoy or discover this cool project, I'm happy to make it available for Fedora 18.

[UPDATE] I added the packages for F19 ;-)

GTG 0.3

Getting Things GNOME! has been released on November 6th but I was able to test it only tonight ;-)

So far, I'm very pleased by this release and to be honest this seems to be the first time synchronization with Remember the Milk is working (I used it on my n900 and I plan to use it know on my android.... but I need to wait 22h before next sync)

I've also installed the integration with gnome-shell very quickly and it seems awesome !

The development team as done a very nice job...

If you plan to test it, I've packaged this release for Fedora 17.

Percona Playback – new non official rpm for CentOS

Recently (yesterday), I faced a problem with percona-playback when I tried to use a slow query log (captured on a customer's server) and it fails dramatically. The log files was 2.3G and the second query was already returning an error :-(

I seemed that I hit a bug that Aurimas, my colleague at Percona, already reported (bug 1035217): queries written on multi lines don't work !

My C++ knowledge is very old and also very limited, so I tried to understand and fix this issue myself. Mushu (dbasquare) already faced this problem and started to fix it before giving up as he needed to run it on Slowaris... Gently he sent me his patch that I modified to support my slow query log:

  • queries on multi-lines
  • queries being only a ; (semi-colon)
  • queries finishing by another character than ; (with comments for example)

Attached to this post, you can find the rpm for CentOS 6 including that patch.
