Meh. I thought I’d posted on last weeks SSS, but going back I see I forgot to click the submit button…
So what I meant to post last week was that I installed the proprietary nVidia drivers on my computer, so that I could have decent graphics, and I blogged about it[0].
Then this week we reached a HUGE milestone in OpenLP[1], we got OpenLP accepted into the Debian repositories[2], and subsequently the Ubuntu repositories for 12.10[3], and then backported to Ubuntu 12.04. This was actually a month’s work finally coming to fruition – I started the process at the end of April.
I also blogged some tips for preparing a package on my Christians in OSS blog[4].

Zing!

What’s Memorial Day, BTW?
Paul Clifford says
Memorial Day is an American holiday that commemorates the service people that lost their lives in defense of this country. It’s celebrated with picnics and the opening of swimming pools. Traditionally, it’s thought of as the first day of Summer.
Raoul Snyman says
Thanks, heard the term a few times but not being USAian, I didn’t know what it was about.
Paul Clifford says
Monday-Wednesday I set up, ran, and tore down AV gear for a conference. Thursday was something of a day off. Friday, I cut together a wedding. I’m about to do the same for the reception. I’m planning to start “Church Video Summer School” in the next few days, but I have to keep up the freelancing, too. My wife lost her job last Friday and her income was the steady thing keeping us afloat, so that means I can’t take a month off to write another book until the income gets more steady. Prayers accepted. Starting a church tech consulting company is hard sometimes, especially when things are lean like this.
Oh, the next giveaway for “Tweeting Church” is coming really soon, so to find out when, head to http://bit.ly/tweetchurchfree if you’re curious about when.

Yikes! Will pray. 🙂

This week, I got all my cookies sorted out (and helped some others out with theirs!); my latest site for a church went live: http://www.stmarymagdalenetaunton.org.uk/ (my first ‘Anglican church’ site); and I got a year older!!! 🙂
Eric Dye says
Nice! (Happy Birthday James!)

I have had my second open source script published http://www.clipboardfusion.com/Macros/View/?ID=d2a956fd-736f-4da7-a216-36b54a345de4 It’s a very simple script to remove spaces from text copied onto the clipboard.
