• Fedora 18 was delayed until next year
• GNOME dropped fallback mode but the “old-style” GNOME look may appear via extensions
• Another month, another udev fork – is this number three? This time is is done by people at Gentoo and is called udev-ng… no, its eudev. But is that fork any good? Some opinions…
• glibc-2.17 is in freeze and it looks like it will be a relatively easy update
• A “new” package manager – Guix – which is just Nix with some Guile thrown on top…
• A post about Upstart working in Debian – speed comparisons are the most interesting thing there
• And while we are speaking of upstart, what does Lennart think?

And things that entertained me:

• This song was stuck in my head…
• Which lead me to some great ukulele playing (including weirdness such as this)
• And that reminded me of a great comedy sketch
