Maybe some of you have noticed, svn.kvirc.de was running under heavy load recently while it was smashed by search engine crawlers. First we tried to tweak the trac installation, which caused the heavy load, when running the spiders trough. But it turned out, that this doesn't…
What a happy day ... on the wedding anniversary of our civil marriage we got a great gift. Our favorite distribution [http://www.debian.org] released a new major version [http://www.debian.org/News/2009/20090214]. Like every time ... it's the best distribution our project released so far.…
