Rarely do I post about news that fall under two (2) topic categories on this blog. But, today is one of those rare moments. Again after the usual daily dose of personal, tech and political news updates, I bump into the formal announcement of the Linux Mobile Foundation. This foundation was annouced a few months […]
After upgrading my Linux box to a newer version of Fedora, I noticed that my VMWare now refuses to build the networking kernel modules because of a problem with a networking checksum kernel define. My current platform is:
Linux Distribution: Fedora Core 6

VMWare Version: 1.0.1-29996
The fix is very well documented here. However, it is […]
I am not sure where I posted my previous links to the ffmpeg RPMs I built for Linux. But, here are the latest ones. I decided to build them at home when I noticed that the current revision number in the SVN repository is already about 500 revisions behind my copy. I created these copies […]

Now, one of the major players in the mobile equipment world is also moving towards Linux and that is Nokia. Here is […]
After hacking and tweaking again, it looks like Fedora Core 6 is so much easier to install on a Dell Latitude D510 than the previous incarnation of Fedora Core. It also looks much better too! Here are the new instructions. Even upgrading was relatively painless. Nice nice!
I just did a talk on securing voice-over-IP during this year’s Philippine Open Source Conference held at the EDSA Shangri-La, Mandaluyong City. The presentation is a bit technical and it does discuss the more common strategies for providing VoIP security.
I was looking for a texmaker RPM for Fedora Core 5. The only one I found was for version 1.3. However, I wanted version 1.4 which already has spell checking support. I looked around some more and found a nice texmaker 1.4 FC6 RPM. So I grabbed that and built it for FC5. Unfortunately, there […]
