Johnny has kicked the wheel off and BLUG meetings are starting up again on the last Wednesday of the month, starting this evening at 6pm in The Tap House, Lower Crescent, just off Botanic Avenue, Belfast.
Some additional information is available on the BLUG Facebook group and on the Belfast Linux newsgroup.
See you there!
I’ve seen this on a couple of blogs recently so I thought I’d give it a go on the VPS this site is hosted on:
steve@decaf:~$ history | awk ‘{a[$2]++} END {for(i in a)print a[i] " " i}’ | sort -rn | head -10
190 ls
80 cd
24 cp
22 sudo
19 rm
14 svn
12 history
11 tar
10 wget
10 vi

I initially setup an installation of jabberd2 as I have [...]
As I previously mentioned, my current task as Infurious system admin is providing the team with a bug/task tracking system, namely Trac.
My initial thought was: “our server runs Ubuntu, this should be easy…â€
I could get Trac running via tracd and I could see that mod_python was working via mod_python.testhandler but the two didn’t [...]
It’s been a busy week. The lads and myself have been quite industrious, making plans and Getting Things Done.
