  • python-lzo

    I realized that when searching for python and lzo, my github page is the first link. I’ve also noticed that people keep forking my github version and that there is no PyPI entry for python-lzo. So, I decided it is fair to consider myself the maintainer for python-lzo and have registered it as a PyPI […]

  • How to fix BIND’s journal out of sync error

    This is a note for my future reference. Example error: zone example.com/IN: journal rollforward failed: journal out of sync with zone zone example.com/IN: not loaded due to errors. While named isn’t running, remove the .jnl file for the example.com zone. It will be in the same directory as the zone files. Restart named and the […]

  • Google Calendar drops CalDAV

    In January, Google said: “With the launch of CardDAV, it’s now possible to build a seamless sync experience using open protocols (IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV) for Gmail, Google Calendar and Contacts. We’ll start rolling out this change as planned across all platforms.” (citation) Yesterday, Google said they would be moving CalDAV support to whitelisted only […]

  • Thankfully, I never switched to Google Reader

    I’ve long had a suspicion that I should just switch to Google Reader instead of continuing to develop my own feed2 reader software (found on github). Today’s news that Google Reader is being shut down makes me feel rather vindicated. I may even decide to push forward and make an Android client now like I’ve […]
