Many community websites run Drupal and use the event module to maintain a calendar of events that they organise or that are of relevance to their members. I help maintain the website for two such organisations, Linux Australia and LUV.
The event module has one slight drawback, it displays the number of hours, days, weeks or months remaining until an event.
On the weekend I acquired a shiny new PCI DVB card for use with MythTV.
The DViCO Dual Fusion 4 card I already had seems to have blown either one of its tuner chips or one of the USB bridges - and it's well and truly out of warranty - but the other tuner still works OK. Depending on signal strength and channel, that is. The ABC and Channel 7 generally worked OK, but the rest was iffy at best.
I wasn't going to post anything about women in technology, on account of feeling particularly uninspired today.
However, I came across an article in a dutch newpaper when I did my what's-happening-in-the-world round this morning, featuring a woman who manages a gas production platform in the North Sea.
Suzan de Haan is not in IT, but she definitely has a tech job.
You can read the relatively awful Google translation of the print version or the original page in dutch.
