Installing VMWare in Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04)

by Ryan French on Apr.27, 2008, under Techy Stuff

Just a reminder for myself, seeing as this has taken me half a day to find out how to get working. Using the instructions found on this page you can install VMWare on the latest version on Ubuntu and get rid of the compile errors.

*edit* – theres also some steps located here that need to be taken as well to get vmware to run after it is installed.

Summer of Code

by Ryan French on Apr.22, 2008, under Rants, Techy Stuff

So the announcements have been made, and I am happy to announce that I was accepted as a Google Summer of Code participant for 2008!! This is pretty awesome news for me, seeing as it’s great for my C.V, and its going to push me to develop something actually usable, for the first time. I will be working on implementing MPLS in FreeBSD, and yes, for those of you keeping track, that is the same project I am doing as part of my PostGrad Diploma in Computer Science at Waikato University this year.

There is an upside thou, cause now I have the support of the whole FreeBSD community to help me work on this project, as well as having a few extra dollars in the bank to help pay back some of those bills that we students often get. So, and I know I say this alot, but now I will be working on this project a lot, and that should hopefully result in a few extra posts that I can flood the net with. Good times ahead.
