Free and Open Source blogger with an attitude
I’ve an announcement to make. You may experience slowdown issues accessing my websites in this coming 4-5 days. This is due to high shared hosting traffic. The issue will be solved once I’ve completely moved out into a new datacenter, so in the mean time, please bear with me :(
p/s : it is estimated that this issue will be solve by this incoming Friday
Due to requests made by some of my readers and friends, I’ve decided to re-enable “Subscribe My Blog” feature, this time powered by FeedBlitz. This is useful if you prefer to receive http://blog.mypapit.net updates in your e-mail.
To subscribe, Just fill in the “Subcribe My Blog” form below the shoutbox, and click “Submit”, you will need to confirm your subscription by clicking a link in the confirmation e-mail, and you’re done!
After acquiring blo.gs, Flickr and Upcoming.org, Yahoo takes a step forward and acquired del.icio.us too. Del.icio.us, a popular online bookmarking service has about 300,000 registered users and 10 million shared links. Following the buy-out, del.icio.us will most likely be integrated with the existing Yahoo! Search, expanding its search horizon to blogs and news sites.
On the other hand this might be stale news, but I write it anyway since it’s Sunday (few visitors), Adobe has successfully acquired Macromedia Inc, making it one of the largest owner of popular software products, the Macromedia website has been updated to reflect the acquisition. The word “Macromedia” is dropped from it’s former products like Dreamweaver 8, ColdFusion MX 7, Flash Media Server 2, Fireworks 8, etc, making the word “Macromedia” merely a history.
Here are some of the useful apt-get repositories for Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger). You just need to copy the following line and paste it into your “/etc/apt/sources.list” file, before doing “apt-get update”.
Need to warn you that these are unofficial repositories, the packages stored here might be unstable and can mess up your system. Use at your own risk.

Begining Ubuntu Linux
This is the first book of its kind to cover the hottest new Linux distribution, and will teach you how to make the most of your Ubuntu desktop.
ProgrammableWeb, this website features a very long list of Web APIs that you can use for your applications. I personally was impress by the compiled list. Ranging from popular names like paypal, amazon and blogger to lesser known names like (at least to me!) voo2do, wsrelator, findory and JotSpot, totalling 125 Web Services listed there.
The list can be useful for those out there who are building web services or planning to use one, as it can provide you with resources and references on implementing your own services.
To complement my previous post about configuring Ubuntu Breezy for KDE 3.5, now I present a way to configure SUSE’s YaST repository for KDE 3.5.
From the SUSE desktop, open YaST. In KDE, it is located under K Menu -> System -> YaST. Select Installation Source.
Add
Protocol: HTTP
Server: ftp.gwdg.de
Repo:
pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/
update_for_10.0/yast-source/
And, you are done, you can upgrade to KDE 3.5 after that. Please refer to Adding Package Repositories to YaST, if you still don’t know how to add them.
