Thanks John for writing DVCS comparison, it looks like document I was looking for. I'm getting more and more convinced that darcs will be the best solution for me...
phpMyAdmin wiki
Today I lanched experimental period of phpMyAdmin wiki. Feel free to share your experiences with phpMyAdmin and/or contribute documentation.
I'd like to move it later to wiki.phpmyadmin.net, so don't think that this URL is permanent, but we will see later if this is possible.
Mantis updated, login again possible
It looks like anybody didn't notice that it is not possible to login to bug tracker. I didn't because I use permanent login and nobody didn't tell me.
Anyway I just upgraded Mantis to 1.0.5 which fixes this issue, feel free to report bugs :-).
Dosbox games repository
Looks like somebody got great idea to package games for DosBox :-). I haven't yet tested repository at dosboxed-games.sandbox.cz but it looks interesting so far. It reminds me good old times when I was playing Arena :-).
Blacklisting after intensive mirroring
Today I decided for first time to cut somebody out of my website. He tried mirror recently created phpMyAdmin wiki and was simply too much aggressive to be overlooked.
Comments on Blog
Russell Coker, if you have enabled comments for blog, make sure that they can be used. And no, I do not think creating blog on blogger.com is appropriate way to post a comment.
Hmm all I wated to say to your spam blocking is that you can do SMTP time bayes (using spamassasin) using sa-exim, but I'm pretty sure there exist more alternatives.
Biking in Šumava
I spent (longer) weekend by biking in Šumava national park. Wheather was nice and we visit many interesting places (photos will be online later). But I will never ever make a mistake to travel on MTB with people on treking one, they are simply too fast on road (and they affraid leaving it). If you will be nearby, I can recommend you nice (and quite hard) trip starting at Zadov (where we were accomodated) to Churáňov mountain, then through Nicov to watchtower Javorník, following peak to Kašperk castle and then down Kašperské Hory city and back to Churáňov. It's only 45 km, minimal parts on the road and several nice downhills.
Also this was my first real life experience with geocaching as my friend had GPS there. We found about seven caches, several of them were multicaches where you need to visit several places to calculate final location. Nicest trip was to follow Vchynicko-tetovsky kanal, but finding some stages was quite difficult.
Anyway I'm considering buying GPS, it looks like a good toy :-).
Casino is too addictive
I will never ever play casino through jabber, it just cost too much time and man still wants to win back money (even if it is not about real money).
Anyway it is nice Jabber application, thanks guys!
Troll resistant bugtracker?
I just found out that Mantis is not troll resistant bug tracker. I haven't noticed that in default configuration any reporter can "remind" all registered users and make them monitoring any issue. And there is no way to stop monitoring from Mantis. This is exactly what happened to bug 161.
I removed them using phpMyAdmin and I hope that I didn't break anyting. As next I disabled reminding for reporters in Mantis and I hope I didn't upset too much people. If I did, I'm really sorry.
Update: It looks that user was only too impatient and expected reply…
No sponsors found?
Hmm it looks like I'm doing something wrong when trying to find sponsor for some package which I want to put into Debian. I already gave up with wmmp as I lost interest in using it meanwhile, but I'd love to see Czech-English dictionary in distribution as there are quite a lot of users here.
I hope that this time I will manage it earlier than in half year as it took for Gammu, because I'd like to have in in next stable…
Maybe it's time to start new maintainer process to avoid begging for each upload.
