Microsoft's new ClearType fonts for Vista are great. The fonts include Constantia, Corbel, Calibri, Cambria, Candara and Consolas. Getting them installed in Ubuntu is a breeze, thanks to a script I found. To install the Vista ClearType fonts in Ubuntu, you need to install cabextract first. Cabextract is a utility found in ...

So Jorge Castro is now a Canonical employee! Jorge, I for one, would love to see your mug again on Planet Ubuntu. I would love to see whiprush.org up and about again. Jorge's disappearance from the interwebs was followed by pleas for his return, about 9 months ago (you can find ...

I was in love with Acer laptops. I bought my first one, an Acer Travelmate 290 LMi in my second year of grad school. I did pay ~ $1200 for it, but it was awesome, right until the moment there were errors with the hard disk controllers about 3 years ...

Ans: A guy in a pic.... Trivial, I know, and not too original either, since I got it from LiveJournal, but I couldn't resist posting this :)

I read the impressive growth and traffic details for WordPress.com at Matt's Blog. WordPress has always been very dear to me, and it makes me happy to note that the WordPress team grows from strength to strength, without compromising on values, and while keeping things open, almost entirely so. However, ...

I was looking for a replacement for SecureCRT in Ubuntu. Something that would let me save all my SSH connections and make it possible to open a connection with the least effort. As is often the case, I found something better than SecureCRT - a panel applet for GNOME that gives ...

This thought just struck me: the GNOME "save file" icon is still an image of a floppy (or it is at least in Gnumeric). How many people still remember what a floppy looks like? Should the save icon be replaced by something else (a picture of a cd/usb drive)? Or should ...

Jem Matzan thinks we technical writers treat you as stupid drooling idiots. Do I? I can honestly say I don't. I write for the competent computer user who has switched to Ubuntu. Anything that 90-95% of the people who formerly used Windows or Macs, and are competent enough to help others ...

You guys must remember Jessamyn, the librarian who posted a video about installing Ubuntu at, where else, the library. Well, by some strange coincidence, which cannot be explained rationally, I ran into her again on the tubes. I followed the user profile link at this comment on Ask MetaFilter to end ...

I woke up on Thursday with a left arm more painful than a 100 episodes of Wheel of Fortune. I had almost pulled an all-nighter the night before to finish reviewing/correcting a paper. I went to the doctor, fearing the worst. My left wrist was aching, and no change of ...

Just over a month ago, we announced that we opened up editing rights to much of the handbooks for all users on Drupal.org. Our one month trial period is over and the Documentation team has decided that overall it has been a success. We have seen many more edits and fixes in the handbook and, while we did see some limited mess to clean up, occurrences of vandalism (or playing around) were relatively uncommon. We feel, at this time, that open editing is a significant benefit to our handbooks. We have decided to leave open editing in place, with no further defined trial periods. Keep editing away!

In addition to helping out with fixing pages, we also need many eyes on the edits themselves. Anyone can review recent edits and check out the diffs. If you notice something awry about an edit, you can simply fix it by editing or, if you are a member of the documentation team, you can select the "revert" operation from the Revisions tab to undo the change.

This process did raise other discussions related to various improvements we could make to help track edits and thoughts about how the new page creation management, versus editing, could be improved. Feel free to join in those ongoing tasks and discussions. The next IRC meeting will be tomorrow, November 20 at 18:00 GMT (1 p.m. EST, 10 a.m. PST) and all are welcome. For more info on documentation activites and projects, check out our group.
