I have released my mobile theme for RavenNuke. This theme requires a small edit to your mainfile.php so your site can determine if the visitor is using a mobile device or not. This is a really simple solution for allowing small touch screens to easily navigate your site. You can download it from Tricked Out News.

A couple of years ago I wrote a script that would backup the RN database and incorporated it with Big Dump to handle the restore functions. I shelved my mod after going through a ton of testing with great results. I then got onto something else that, at the time, was a lot more important, and shelved it.

I blew the dust off of it today and will finish it up. Instead of using my backup script I found a better more feature rich backup script that I will be using along with Big Dump.

This will be a large mod and I'll need to have a place in Raven's forums for discussion. My Php coding skills are rusty so input will be necessary. Anyhow, more to come through Raven's forums (I hope).

As I always say and believe, please support RavenNuke(tm) anyway you can.

For those of you who are interested, you will get a listing of dates and events as they occurred and as they relate to the world of computers. Excellent website.

Years ago, as a Network Engineer in the Air Force, I learned the importance of Univac as I studied it. My masters thesis was on the inner working of the Univac 1050II. Later Sperry Univac, and still later Linux. My forte was hex and decimal programming. But as familiar things fade away, I decided it was time for a change. Ubuntu with KDE became my passion and I am still reliant on it to perform a myriad of software task daily.

Where did open source come from?

Originally coined in 1998, the term open source came out of the free software movement, a collaborative force going strong since the dawn of computing in the 1950s. This early community was responsible for the development of many of the first operating systems, software and, in 1969, the Internet itself. Read more at http://www.ubuntu.com/project/open-source
