Here's a quick howto on installing Laconica on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) with a PostgreSQL database backend.

Here's a good one.

dns2 is primary nameserver for a local zone 'servers.datacentre.foo'. Running Debian Lenny, bind9, nothing unusual. Update this zone to add a Xen guest recently provisioned at the datacentre. Reload dns with rndc reload, the updated zone is transferred to the slave nameserver, which is dns1 (yeah I don't know why either, what's in a name).

Today I finally stopped um-ing and ah-ing and went and bought a new Asus EeePC 1000HE :)

I originally bought a 701SD and loved it, but gradually grew frustrated with the tiny screen. The smaller netbooks get a bad rap for their keyboards being to small, but I actually got used to them. The screen was the bigger issue for me.

I bought a second hand 900 a couple of months back and that was a lot better screen-wise, but the Celeron processor and short battery life proved troubling again.
