What a kerfuffle…
Opted for the power saving, more responsive Liquorix Debian kernel. The install
went pretty painlessly courtesy of the smxi installers. But it wont work with
the network-manager on wireless since killing X kills the networking connection
too. Daft. So be prepared with an ethernet cable. So, great. I reboot and:-
> uname -a
Linux development.richardriley.net 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Aug 25 14:28:12 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
WOOt! But wait! Whats this? No wireless. Oh yes, thats right : the weird and
wacky world of Debian politics means I need to run the module assistant to
install the sources and build the driver for the bcm43q13 wireless device. God
forbid they should forget all that and just have something that works out of the
box and actually attract new users. Oh no. So m-a is used once more. Except it
crashes out. What do do? A quick google revealed the wonderul linux wireless
website which maintains up to date repos of all wireless SW. Well, most. Should
be simple!
Have a read and decide that the brcm80211 driver should suffice. great! So
install the debian firmware-brcm80211 using aptitude.
sudo aptitude install firmware-brcm802011
Now follow the linux wireless instructions. Cant be too hard… and it wasn't!
Download the latest code. Unarchive to my usual build tree. Now its time for the
money shot.
./scripts/driver-select brcm80211
make && sudo make install
Crikey! It compiled. Now remove any existing driver and install the new one:-
sudo modprobe -r brcm80211
sudo modprobe -r wl
sudo modprobe brcm80211
All this was done over an ssh link from my main development machine to my Asus
netbook via ethernet cable btw. So lets try this driver .. oh no. Lets not. The
famous Linux BSOD….. Black Screen Of Death…
!(sdu->cloned) failed : file wlc_mac80211.c line 5140
Quickly subscribing to the mail list for linux-wireless
(linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org) I had the solution .. remove the offending
line and remake!
Bingo! It works.
And that ladies and gentleman was my day….
Javascript can be used to access document elements by ID on the client. In this
case we can toggle the visibility of the #editeventform using the css display
property.

keywords META tag as a setting in the event list
Which means you can edit as any other event and internationalise accordingly.

Yoono is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to "Social Networking"
monitoring and configuration with instance messaging on the desktop. Especially
since it works well on Linux too.
That said, like a lot of these kind of tools it can be too in your face. Well,
if you use a decent tiling Windows Manager like xmonad all is instantly
solved. Providing you know some Haskell. chuckle …

The create new/edit dialog now includes the ability to toggle event
sharing. This would typically be used to disable sharing for an item which can
not stand on its own such as a list item - some support text to an item that
includes an embedded object like a gcalendar or twitter feed for example. Or
perhaps simply something you dont want shared! Typically used in conjuntion with
the orderby field which is, currently, the only crude way to order things
(outside of caelendar ordering) in an event list in order to ensure certains
items remain at the top or bottom or follow a previous item. Relative ordering
and grouping is in the pipeline - this will facilitate online menu construction
and perhaps photo album management although I am doubtful that anything I
shoehorn in there can in any shape or form approach the functionality provided
by the plethora of existing solutions for photo management. Its what links are
for …
As an added bonus it will now also allow you to share in another language. Just
set the language on the web page before sharing and the link back will ensure
that the article/event is in that language when people click back.

@mysql function calls pretty much deprecated in php. Moved all the code to
mysqli based. Pretty straightforward. e.g
$f=@fopen("authinfo","r",true);
$auth=explode(" ",@fgets($f));
@fclose($f);
setDB($mysqli = new mysqli($auth{3},$auth{0},$auth{1},$auth{2}));
if ($mysqli->connecterror) {
die('Connect Error (' . $mysqli->connecterrno . ') '
. $mysqli->connecterror);
}

The web SW now links all event titles and descriptions to relevant msgcode
entries. This means you can enter an event in English, switch to german and then
locale that in German.
