First, I installed Hudson:

1. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

   deb http://hudson-ci.org/debian binary/
   

2. Update the APT index:

   sudo apt-get update
   

3. Install Hudson:

   sudo apt-get install hudson

Then, I setup my first project on Hudson. We use Subversion, and some files have non-ASCII filenames; Hudson was choking on the checkout with the infamous

svn: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding

error. After a lot of googling, trial and error, I finally fixed it by:

1. Adding LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to /etc/environment
2. Creating /etc/default/locale and adding LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to it.
3. Changing the hudson user’s shell to bash (sudo chsh -s /bin/bash hudson)
4. Creating ~hudson/.profile and adding LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to it

Awesome comment by someone named “John” on TorrentFreak re. so-called Intellectual Property:

It’s not property and you, sir, are not an intellectual.

The very idea that something infinitely reproducible could be considered to have value is preposterous and flies in the face of call macro economic theory. Infinite supply results in infinitesimal value.

Eventually people will realize that what is being called intellectual property is actually the result of a service, then we will all be happier.

I want to pay the person who provided the service, but pretending that something ethereal is property is not the way to do it. While it is simple to create copies, people will continue to do it and the companies who fight it will lose potential customers.

Wake up. We are willing to pay for the services rendered, but your prices are ridiculous.

1. Find your Postbox profile folder (it’s a randomly-named folder under %AppData%\Postbox\Profiles
2. Create a folder named chrome
3. Create a file named userChrome.css with the following contents:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/* set default namespace to XUL */

/* Set Thread pane to alternate row colours
http://getsatisfaction.com/postbox/topics/alternate_background_colors#reply_794176
*/

Postbox is a mail client for Windows and Mac built over the Mozilla (Thunderbird) codebase, with a few new features and a great deal of polish.

I’ve been a Netscape Mail user for a long time, then a Thunderbird user (since 0.8 or so), and I’m using Postbox for a week and already love it. The best feature in Netscape Mail and its descendants is the threaded mail view, and Postbox takes it to another level.

Lots of Eudora orphans are raving about it. I just bought my license; hope they keep improving it, like updating the compatible Lightning extension to the latest version.

What can I do, Microsoft does make beautiful fonts…
