On forking Kruel

Recently there’s been some talk of “forking” Kruel. I had gotten some word from i386 about Kruel.org forking because he wasn’t terribly happy with the way things are and where they’re going. I left my IRC client idling in his channel #rekovery on oz.org. Later this evening, SkoZombie entered, wanting to give i386 a piece of his mind, where I found that i386 had defaced the Kruel.org frontpage. Sko has written an essay about the rebirth of Kruel and why things have happened and said a couple of things that were on his mind.

For now, I’m really unsure of what to do. This does change the dynamics of the “former” Kruel community, with a few of the old members leaving. I’m quite
concerned of what will happen to Kruel when it goes corprate, and wondering if I should go too. I’ve taken down the Kruel-related links until I come to a final decision, and some things pan out and I figure out where everyone stands.

There was a radioshow on Kruel Radio this evening. We’re gonna try and talk about things other than i386’s ex-boyfriend.

I guess you can email i386 with suggestions or leave comments on this post…

A whole lot has happened in the last month. Starting from the begining…

I went to Sko’s pad, in Newcastle, in the middle of Janurary. Must fun was had by all, and some work was done. And now I’m addicted to WoW The new praelium site is half done, there’s still plenty to do, and now with TAFE back, little time to do it.

TAFE’s back. A few new people coming in, and meeting more people. And forgetting all their names

au_xmltvgen_austext is still going through testing. Most of the issues are due to alevtd being unstable. Probably because the version I have is out of the Debian repos and hacked into Ubuntu, things get ugly. It wouldn’t be the first time. I’m finding some more bugs in the code, but they’re minor. And the man page
is still giving me some issues.

I have newer lappy, and 802.11g wifi card to go with it. Ironically it works on Linux but not Windows. And I’ve reinstalled a couple of times… The card is a Netcomm NP5430, and I can report that all you need to do to get it working on Ubuntu is copy the PRISM54G.ARM file from the Drivers folder on the CD into /usr/share/hotplug/firmware, and rename the file to ‘isl3890′. Then ifconfig eth1 up it, and the wifi card is active.

I have a Visual Basic .NET class today (Friday). I’m already dreading it. They had to take a perfectly good system (.NET) and hack it onto Visual Basic, thus completely turning it into a complete hell. Thanks Microsoft. Now I have to put up with Visual Basic, again.

Some of the classes I’m repeating feel much easier, going over a second time. And in the case of one of them, writing web pages to standards is far easier than scripting Excel…

I have a new(er) server. 2.4 GHz Celeron, 0.75gb of ram, 160gb of hdd space. Feels a lot faster than the Cyrix of course. Still in the process of going through and getting the old data onto the new server. Thus the blog is temporarily being hosted offsite.

Does it have to be underwater? And does it have to be a barbeqeue?

In response to i386’s bid for galactic conquest, it’s actually a planetary system. A galaxy is a collection of stars, not planets.:) So here is System Kruel
