Emacs: Finding out if I’m overscheduled
http://sachachua.com –
"If you're anything like me, your task list is long and growing, but the time you have is just as fixed. How do you manage that? I handle that problem by looking at my calendar and my task list together when I'm planning my day. I tend to be too optimistic about my tasks, trying to schedule more into my day than I should. Fortunately, Emacs can help me make sure I don't overcommit. Here's how it works..."

Why Revise HTTP?
http://www.mnot.net –
"I haven’t talked about it here much, but I’ve spent a fair amount of time over the last year and a half working with people in the IETF to get RFC2616 — the HTTP specification — revised. [...] it looks like Roy’s partitioned drafts will become the basis of the new work, and Roy, Julian and Yves will work together as editors on the new documents...."

Mono: Does anybody want it?
http://enterpriselinuxlog.blogs.techtarget.com –
When you think mono, you think tired. You think sleepy. You think shut-yourself-up-in-your-bedroom-for-two-weeks-and-snooze-like-Rip-Van-Winkle. You get the idea. But that is not how it should be. Mono isn’t boring. Mono should excite people!

Fontmatrix: Font management for the desktop finally arrives
http://www.linux.com –
The GNU/Linux desktop lacks a font manager for design work. Ideally, such a font manager should support currently used font formats, including TrueType, Type1, and OpenType, and allow sets of fonts to be activated on the fly, so that system memory is not choked with rarely used fonts. Until now, the closest to this ideal has been Fonty Python. Now, however, newcomer Fontmatrix has proved itself a contender for the role.

Nowadays everyone uses a presentation device or their laptop's remote controller, but a presentation device can be expensive, few laptops come with a remote controller, and for those that do, Linux compatibility may be an issue. The Amora project turns your Symbian mobile phone into a Linux presentation device using Bluetooth.

Tips for Taming SE Linux, Part Two
http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com –
Last week we took the eagle's eye view of the principles behind SELinux. Today we'll dig a bit more deeply into SELinux policies, and then fire up Fedora 8 and see what SELinux looks like in practice. I recommend using the latest Fedora version as a SELinux training tool, because Fedora has the most mature implementation and userspace tools. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS, the leading Red Hat clone, have similar SELinux setups to Fedora. Gentoo also has a nice SELinux implementation. I don't recommend starting from scratch. Start with a working setup, and then plan to spend considerable time learning your way around it, because it is a big complex beast.

KWin composite video available
http://liquidat.wordpress.com –
The very well made video is provided as a Flash video (Google) as well as an high quality Ogg Theora video. It shows KDE 4 from a point of view which got just to few attention the last weeks because it requires a full install or at least a well equipped machine and the Live CD. Thanks for the great video!
