If you administer Linux servers, you might have heard of Webmin. If you haven’t, then you should take a look!
Well today, Jamie Cameron (Webmin developer) e-mailed me a sneak peek of the Webmin mobile device theme which will be released within the next week or so
The add-on is a theme that allows a mobile user to easily administer webmin from anywhere on a device such as an Apple iPhone and is available as an easy RPM update to your existing RPM installed webmin (tar.gz and deb installs also available).
While the interface works fairly well it’s still far from perfect with most of the module and configuration showing as regular full featured web pages and not “fancied up” by iUI (the framework that the rest of the menu system is based on). Jamie says that more work will be done in the future to further improve the UI. I have no doubt that further integration of iUI or even the webapp.net.free.fr framework will offer even faster and lighter access to your Webmin.
Here’s a gallery of screen shots:
Check this out.. Run Fedora 9 (and other LINUX’s) right off a USB stick. Plug it in, boot it up, instant mobile desktop, with the liveusb-creator
“The liveusb-creator is a cross-platform tool for easily installing live operating systems on to USB flash drives.”
I tried it, it works, it’s super cool. Mind you I tried it on three machines, only one worked. I guess it depends how nicely your PC’s BIOS plays

If your into online social networking (facebook, flickr, youtube, etc) and your not using the Flock web browser. Then you’d best get out of your CAVE!
Flock have announced version 2 beta of their browser which is now based on Firefox 3 technology. I just installed it. It’s faster (i can tell), and apparently more secure). Visually not much change, but hey, I like the newest stuff.

It looks like we’re going to get a Wordcamp.
Details are vague at the moment but it’s looking like a Nov/Dec 2008 date and set to be in Sydney. Very little information is available at the official website:
australia.wordcamp.org
Feel free to join the mailing list available from the website to keep up to date.
I’m hoping to attend!

I’ve just finished upgrading all my wordpress sites to the latest version 2.5. It’s nice, I like it a lot. It’s also fast!
One of the things I’ve really been waiting for is better Safari web browser compatibility. Previously, trying to compose a new post with Safari in wordpress with clean line breaks was a real nightmare.
Looks like the guys have come through with the goods because the visual editor just loves Safari!
Well done Wordpress team!
I’ve been using Flock at work now since I blogged earlier about it.
Flock is a new web browser (for Mac, Linux and Windows) that has bounced onto the scene and is geared towards those who are into social networking web sites and media. I’m going to talk about some of the neat things that (in my opinion) makes Flock worth the download.
Firstly, if your on Facebook (who isn’t now?) then Flock is automatically going to make you smile. The way Flock integrates with the Facebook frame work is pretty damn good. Really good in fact.

I’ve seen the google ads everywhere, they’ve been driving me mad, I figured it was time for me to check out what this “Flock” web browser is all about. I’ve just installed it at work on my PC. It crashed 4 times in a row upon opening it. Something about C++ runtime having a hissy fit.
I’m writing this post from within flock’s “blog editor” right now. I’ll try the browser out for a little while and report back… not bad so far! The integration with Facebook is very nice, and some might find this feature worth the install!

I’ve posted previously about www.leopardtricks.com a popular blog for tips and tricks for Apple’s latest operating system “Leopard”. I mentioned the site hit an amazing 3,000+ subscribers at some stage. This was late last year after the site was running for a very short period of time.
Two months later. leopardtricks.com now has (currently) 13,860 subscribers. (as shown by feedburners stats) Not bad for a site that I built in November 2007. Maybe someone will buy it off me!
On the weekend I was interviewed by Mark over at 45n5.com
45n5.com is a “make money online” blog. It’s actually very interesting and there’s a great community there of people like me that are either interested in making money online, or at least learning a few things to optimize sites.
Mark puts up a lot of videos of himself discussion popular topics and primarily his experiences with his online ventures.
Check out the interview/blurb that Mark published about leopardtricks.com titled:
How To Go From 0 To 10000 Feedburner Subscribers In Under 30 Days
Well in the short time that leopardtricks.com has been online (almost a month) we have over 3,000 subscribers!
A great effort for a great site. Where else are you going to get dedicated tips and tricks for Apple’s Leopard operating system!?
