First, I installed Hudson:
deb http://hudson-ci.org/debian binary/
sudo apt-get update
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:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to /etc/environment
/etc/default/locale and adding LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to it.sudo chsh -s /bin/bash hudson)~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.
Opinions come quickly to experts and morons. Few of us are experts. — Dennis Forbes, The Underappreciated Art of Duct Tape Programming
DRM doesn’t stop people from pirating a game, on the contrary. It only hurts legitimate customers since the DRM is removed from the pirate version. — TorrentFreak post by “Ernesto”

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.
