sadly I did’t found free time to write here anything, real job makes
me too busy, it’s huge fun even if it is not always easy. I am now
almost three months in Kuala Lumpur, and I am still impressed by the
large squares, by the peoples and the culture. I did’t found time
to go more outside, but i think/hope this will change someday.
Oh yes i found here a FreeBSD Geek, I am very impressed by this
people because I’ve never tought I will find someone here, that
has the Technical understanding, it must be added that we interested
have some commonalities. I hope I get this opportunity people even
closer to get to know 
. Food and drink tastes good, I am doing
quite well so far…
PS: Pics can you find on Facebook

Howdy Guys,
Few Weeks ago i wrote that i’ve got a job offer in Kuala Lumpur,
I got this Job now and unfortunately now I need now to reorder my
life a bit. So first step is now to step down from KDE, Gecko
and vbox teams. I am not really happy about this step but sometimes
priorities goes to new state and we have to reorder something.
I’ll spend my time more to portmgr stuff, mentoring fresh
Blood, Gnats cleanup’s and committing any good stuff. I’d like
to say many thanks for all the nice time in these teams 
.

Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) to work as a System Administrator.
The plan is to move next week on Thursday, the flight is

I’m a bit nervous
The good thing is that the time I have to work for
FreeBSD will not be affected.

We’re happy to announce that Xorg 7.5 is ready
for public testing.
The ATI and Intel drivers were patched to work with
the new server, please report any problems to us!
The drivers for Vesa, NV and NVIDIA have been tested
thoroughfully and seem to work fine.
A note to FreeBSD 6.X users: Unfortunately you’ll have
to compile gcc 4.2+ first because the X.org Team doesn’t
support gcc 3.X longer, We strongly recommend you to
update your system to 7.x or above.
Please take a look on our Wikipage. There you can find
the svn repo to checkout X.org ports.
http://wiki.freebsd.org/ModularXorg/7.5
A small merge script to merge the svn checkout into the real
portstree could be found here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/xorg/xorgmerge
The script is a modified version of the kdemerge script.
Please set the KDEDIR variable to the path of your X.org
ports.
After merging please try
portupgrade -af \*
portmaster -af
Please report any problems and issus to x11 (at) FreeBSD.org.
Thanks to beat@ and rnoland@ for their help.
Happy Updating!

Sorry for the long Offline time, my server was crashed with bad disk, seems all works now fine.
Sorry for the long Offline time, my server was crashed with bad disk, seems all works now fine.
Howdy,
We know that a lot people are waiting for Firefox 3.6,
but nox@ found a strange bug which is now solved.
The problem was that starting Firefox 3.6 with certain
addons installed was not possible. Now it looks like all
problems are solved and we can start a CFT.
If everything works fine we plan to commit Firefox 3.6 next
weekend. We should also note that the java plugin currently
does not work with 3.6.
What’s new in Firefox 3.6
* Support for the HTML5 File API
* A change to how third-party software integrates with Firefox to
increase stability.
* The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times.
* A mechanism to prevent incompatible software from crashing Firefox.
* Users can now change their browser’s appearance with a single click,
with built in support for Personas.
* Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them
safe.
* Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports
poster frames.
* Support for the WOFF font format.
* Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and
startup time.
* Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies.
Please make sure all your addons are compatible with firefox 3.6,
backup your $HOME/.mozilla dir, also you need to reinstall
www/linux-f10-flashplugin10.
here is the patch:

A big thanks is going to nox@, Andreas Tobler, Florian Seemts.
Happy Testing!
