Not been following Deluge for the past few months. I had to fall back to Windows since my damn Exchange server could not work with Linux.
But anyway, talking about good timing. OpenSUSE 11 is set to be out in 2 days and my office decides to get me a new notebook. A lenovo R61, can’t ask too much but it should work fine with OpenSUSE 11. I’ll finally get to Deluge again.
The current stable release for Deluge is 0.5.9.1. There have been quite a few fixes put in since my last Deluge update. Read the changelog while downloading the latest version.
My Facebook page has become one giant ball of information. Cluttered and confusing with the increasing amount for new applications being shared and circulated. I’m quite sure I’m not alone on this.
Facebook has announced a makeover which is panned for roll out next month. The roll out will happen in stages. The goal is to un-clutter, simplify and organize the mountains for data being moved around over Facebook everyday amongst users.
Get a glimpse of what to expect and if you wish to receive regular updates become a fan of the Facebook previews product page.
Facebook has also made available an integration guide for developers over at it’s wiki.
Shinjiru will be moving my shared hosting account to a new server tomorrow. The move is scheduled for 9pm (GMT +8) 8th May 2008.
Since my DNS records will also need to be updated, The Danesh Project will be down till the updated DNS entries propagate to all DNS servers on the net. This will take up to 72 hours.
I was playing a round with new software today which needed MySQL 5. My server’s running CentOS 4.6 which ships by default with MySQL 4.
The to upgrade to MySQL 5 from MySQL 4 is easy. There are 2 options you could use.
The first option would require you to remove all MySQL 4 packages by running,
># yum remove mysql
The seconf option is way simpler.
># yum --enablerepo=centosplus update mysql
This will download MySQL 5 from the plus repository and replace the installed MySQL 4.
Remeber to backup your DBs before updating.
