So after 4.2 has been released some weeks ago. I have used it now for a good amount of time and I’m pretty impressed how good it is.
Now I think about migrating my Macbook over to a OpenSUSE installation.
There are two databases I have…
iTunes and iPhoto
I don’t mind about the music… but the pictures.
So I was glad to discover a litte project called photokam:

Its a collection of Python scripts to migrate a personal photo collection safely to digikam.
I really liked this talk about GIT… I have never used it up to now, but I had to concede in many points.
Some minutes ago I’ve recieved an email from the boxee team. They proudly present the boxee availability on windows. So now boxee is running on all major operating systems.
I’m looking forward what the boxee crew was able to accomplish at CES.
quick intro to boxee from boxee on Vimeo.
Finally WordPress 2.7 has been released. It has a slick new interface design, which I do like very much.
The main navigation on the left fits better on modern 16:9 or 16:10 screens… not like the ribbons in MS Office for example which is very counterproductive on those screens.
This is the second big redesign in 2008, which is not the best thing imho but as far as I know it had to be done. There also have been a lot of enhancements under the hood. They will ease the integration of new backend plugins and themes. I wonder what will hit the surface in 2009….
Thanks to the great marketing community behind wordpress there’s also a short video introducing the new user interface available.
Some time ago I blogged about augemented reality… now i’ve found another clip showing it’s potential….
-> Thanks to ansi

You buy the shovel, but you want the hole.
It’s amazing how easy it is to forget that software is just a tool. Companies purchase software so their employees can execute specific tasks. You don’t need a laser-guided shovel with built-in GPS navigation to dig your hole. A plain ol’ shovel will get the job done just fine.
So buck up, little campers, open source software even comes with a free pack of weenies and a bag of marshmallows. Seriously, folks, go take the money you save by going open source and invest it in keeping the people around who really run your business. They need those jobs now more than ever.
