The recent upgrade caused my Empathy client to somehow forget the accounts that I had configured. (The ~/.mission-control/accounts/accounts.cfg file is intact). A quick post to the devel list, here is what you need to do to get it working again:
chcon -t bin_t /usr/libexec/mission-control* /usr …
I finally got down to work.
1st order of the day -> rename loki.

The fedora-tour project relies heavily on clutter and the graphics support from our …
There's an ongoing discussion on 64bit flash on the fedora-test list. I learnt that Adobe had yanked the 64bit flash plugin (*I call it "meh!!", and it will be henceforth referred to as "meh!!" in this post*). I went back to the fedora flash page on the wiki and installed …
The Department of Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Sciences held a one day workshop to provide an insight to faculty and students into the PhD programme. Luckily, I'm interning here at the department and had the chance to attend it!
Here's the schedule that was followed …
I recently announced the availability of loki-0.1.1, the first release. I've added the notification bubble to it, and made the Autotools etc adhere more to the conventions/standards. I've also set up a temporary yum repo for F13 so you folks can try it out! The repo file …
