Właśnie wydana została nowa wersja bardzo ciekawego, „kafelkowego” menedżera okien. Czyli tytułowego i3.
Pod wpływem doświadczeń i opinii zgromadzonych podczas pisania i utrzymywania wcześniejszych wersji i3, autor projektu, Michael Stapelberg, zdecydował się na wprowadzenie poważnych modyfikacji w wewnętrznej strukturze danych. Nie wiązało się to z widocznymi zmianami w działaniu programu, jednak powinno ułatwić zarówno korzystanie z jak i dalsze rozwijanie menedżera.

Not so far away and not so long ago we made a Plan: new, redundant LAN for small Data Center. In fact, it was boring work. Homogeneous equipment, star-like, flat topology: two redundant units to aggregate traffic, edge switches connected to both units to achieve redundancy and load-balancing by MSTP. Nothing special.
But Our Lady walks nearby and, in cloudy and windy morning, small, gold apple with engraved word „cheaper” flew through window in our office. After that we got: two HP 5400zl, bunch of HP 2910al, four Cisco 2960, stack of Cisco 2950… and unchanged requirements.
Then funny part of our work was to come. Fortunately MSTP in 2960s is compatible with one in 5400s. But these in 2950s… not. As expected and noticed in this document and here.
In fact, we were able to achieve something like „working” environment, but situation, when some switches in LAN don’t recognize root-switches (this mechanism is described in mentioned docs), was considered by us as unacceptable.
We thought…
we smoked…
we prayed to Eris…
and we made it!
It was so simple: maybe Cisco 2950 isn’t compatible with HP equipment – but it is compatible with 2960. So, we created second level in our spanning-tree and connected each 2950 to two 2960, instead to root-HP 5400s. Each 2960 is connected to two 5400s and, in this way, we got reliable network with fast-enough convergence. BPDUs sent and received from/by 2950s are translated by 2960s and all switches can see valid roots in MSTP regions.
Hail Eris! Sieg hail Discordia!

Od pewnego czasu możemy cieszyć się Operą w wersji 10.60. Wygląda i zachowuje się znacznie lepiej, niż jej poprzedniczki z serii 10.x – choć jedna z jej cech zdecydowanie utrudniała mi życie: nie lubię antyaliasowanych fontów…

What pisses me off about Android / Motorola Milestone (European version of the Droid).
DISCLAIMER: I do like Android and the Milestone. Except for some very pesky issues below it’s a great match and I’d definitely buy it again.
RANT: also, there’s little choice: Windows Mobile and BlackBerry have half the features (except for e-mail on BB, obviously) and while stock S60 actually can do more than stock Android, you have to fight the UI rather than just using it. The iPhone is, uh, the iPhone (i.e. well polished but limited software on extremely crappy hardware).
On to the issues:
0. the basic notion is that European users are ignored by both Motorola and Google. The Milestone does _not_ have the „with Google” logo on the back while the Droid… um, does (see what I did there?). OTA updates are not available for Milestone users and since most of the Milestones sold in Europe by Expansys are carrier-free, this problem cannot be blamed on anybody but Motorola and Google.
