New YOPER resolution

Jan 10, 2005 by glennji

I’ve just scheduled the Yoper ISO for download here at work — the first step in my plans for world domination (I’ll release a World Domination Manifesto on ChangeThis one of these days). When I get home tonight, I’ll back up all my critical data, and then I can kick off the installation at lunchtime tomorrow (I have to do real work too, after all).
In other news, I think I love Autopackage — multiple front ends and multiple packaging systems, all with dependency resolution, and a nice easy “click me” kick off script for each application. That said, I’m having a devil of a time getting a version of gnutls that the GAIM autopackage can see and use … so maybe it’s not as good as I believe.
Nah, it’s probably is just human error.

It’s 8am on the first day of the month, and despite the usual late night, I’ve been up for hours. Jules has been an early riser for years now, and it has had the effect of training me to wake up at 6am each morning — for no good reason, since he’s pretty independent in the morning these days — and so here I am.
