So, I was cheered up no end to discover they have a “Next” bookmarklet. Once added to your toolbar or whatever this lets you go to your next unread post in the page where the post comes from. Yay, no more uniformity, yay, personal expression. Oh, but everyone is using Kubrick.

Essential advice for anyone braving the elements in the UK tonight.

Take some carrots, peel them (despite them being the sort you don’t need to peel but they’ve since gone a bit ick in the fridge) and slice in half. Then chop fennel and two medium onions into the same size chunks. Place them in a deepish tray and drizzle with lots of olive oil. Then sprinkle over salt, sage and black pepper. Place in a lowish oven (~120) for half an hour or so. Shaking in the middle.

Just before you are going to take the veg out of the oven melt around 50g of butter in a largeish saucepan and put the kettle on. Dump the veg into the butter and sweat for a little bit. Use some of the hot water from the kettle to scrub off any tasty bits from the roasting tray (not going to be much if it’s non-stick). Next, put two heaped teaspoons of boullion powder (or a stock cube or two) in with the vegetables and add water until they are reasonably covered. Add chilli flakes and some black pepper. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 10 minutes.

Next is the messy part. Take off the heat and use a blender to blend until the texture is thick with the odd interesting bit. Put back onto the heat. Bring back to the boil and simmer for another 5 minutes. Season to taste, adding a bit of fresh parsley at the last minute.

Inspired by Luis i’ve made all my photos CC BY-SA-NC. It seems like the next logical step since the main rreason I take photos and upload them to Flickr is to share with everyone else.

I’ve been spending the last few weeks getting the release together and testing on some of our new hardware platforms. My main contribution to this release however was the awesome new Anjuta plugin that does lots of cool stuff to help you develop with Poky. Enough babbling, go for the screencast (OGG version).

Woooh! Anjuta plugin in action

Thanks to the nice guys at iRex Technologies for sponsoring this work. As usual, packages are available at the OH repository.

You can fetch them for the components released today (core, cairo, gst and gtk) from the OH repository at debian.o-hand.com. This includes packages built for Ubuntu ‘gutsy’ and Debian unstable.

Packages for the bindings will also be uploaded when the new versions are released over the coming days.

My talks went really well, thanks to everyone who attended, asked questions and gave feedback. Huge kudos to the other participants. Some great things were shown off and discussed.

I’d also like to use this opportunity to promote Josh Stewart’s Gloss. It’s a replacement MythTV frontend using Clutter. He’d love to get some more MythTV users to test it.
