Planet FreeBSDish update (again)

Posted by Florent Thoumie on October 20, 2009 2 comments

So, that WordPress plugin I mentioned previously has been working pretty well and I might replace Planet faster than I thought. Actually I might do that over the weekend.

A few users probably won’t be happy that the “complete” version is going away. I don’t have plans for it at the moment. If you think something else is missing, leave a comment.

If you’re meant to be listed on blogs.freebsdish.org but you’re not, then drop me an email or leave a comment and I’ll (re-)add you.
If you’re in the list but don’t put your posts in the FreeBSD category, then they won’t be aggregated.

Another Planet FreeBSD in testing…

Alright, so I just found out about that FeedWordPress plugin for WordPress and I figured I would give it a spin. It seems to be doing everything I did with Planet, and has a few features (shared admin rights through wordpress accounts, mark new posts as pending instead of publishing them straight away) that could prove useful if I want to poke core@ about planet.freebsd.org once again.

Anyway, check it out.

RFC: OpenSMTPD for FreeBSD

I don’t like writing long posts so let’s go straight to the point. Here is a shar to test mail/opensmtpd on FreeBSD. Read the comments in the Makefile. Also this is just a preview. The port isn’t complete (I haven’t checked the conflicts yet and it doesn’t update mailer.conf).

For sample configs, have a look there.

Comments/patches welcome.

Omegle Conversation #1

Posted by Florent Thoumie on October 6, 2009 2 comments

Thanks to spud, I’ve discovered this awesome time-killer that is omegle. The concept is simple: you just go to the website and you’ll end up talking to a random stranger, who, like you, is connected to that website.

So, my blog being pretty quiet lately, I’ve decided I would post a few conversations that I found amusing once in a while.

Here’s #1.


Connecting to server...
Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: hi
Stranger: hey stranger im happy for your you and ima let you finish but the last stranger was the best random stranger of all timews
You: alright, so you're a guy
You: and i'd say under 20
You: probably from somewhere in the us
Stranger: wow how did you kn ow
You: i can see your webcam
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
