Peng’s links for Monday, 18 August
Posted by Peng on 18 August 2008
- Markus Thielmann: Adobe updates Flash 10 to RC. Flash 10 is a little closer to release, although it seems some new bugs were introduced for x64 users. Markus looks at not only the update but also gives info for possibly dealing with issues in the RC.
- Jonathan Carter: Not blogging enough? No, it’s not a question of where either Nanci nor our buddy Sus has been lately. Jonathan posts a small collection of links, but within the post is a response to Mark Shuttleworth’s challenge to make Ubuntu prettier than OSX. (I meant to blog the challenge to Ubuntu devs but I see that I didn’t. My bad.)
- David Futcher: Announcing Freespeech: Simple Cross-Platform Text To Speech. Some may consider text-to-speech just a toy, but there are a lot of people for whom it’s a must have. And this is truly cross-platform, working on not just on Linux but also Windows and Mac.
- Douglass Clem: Comcast Gives Cold-Shoulder To Non-Profit School Running Linux. I was checking out this week’s issue of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter when I found this story about a Florida school that had to deal with the joy of getting Comcast support for their Linux system. The boys and girls at Comcast really need to support Linux, especially since they already support OSX and Unix, and both Linux and OSX share a basis in Unix. I trust that Comcast tech support guy got enough detention to help him realize that they should support Linux, too.
