Digsby is bringing out a Linux and Mac client very soon

Hey all,

my new favorite multi-protocol IM client is soon to become a multi-platform client. It is still in beta and they're already rolling out a client for the other two platforms. It is a great news to me because I literally fell in love with Digsby on Windows and every time I find myself using Kopete or Pidgin on Linux I yearn for Digsby. It is just so great at what it does. Hope the Linux client is not crippled and offers just as many features as Windows. Sign up for notification here.

p.s. Ars did a nice and simple review of Digsby here.

Talk to you soon.

Someone got digsby running on linux with wine. Seems like a 5-10 minute setup.

You should check it out on the digsby forums: http://forum.digsby.com/viewtopic.php?id=381

I'm not really fond of wine, never got it to work properly and don't even want to bother. I made a promise to myself that when in Ubuntu, no Windows apps. That's pretty cool though.

well they're working on RAM optimization now for Windows which is a pretty substantial change. They're looking for beta testers. I'm sure it's going to take considerable time to do Linux and Mac but let's wait I guess. You can follow on their blow Link

Digsby is an AMAZING program. Its just too easy to have all my emails, social networks and im's in one program.

In fact, digsby is one of the reasons I havent switched to OS X as opposed to vista (I dual boot, but vista wins most of the time).

Great to hear they are making versions for all the OS's...
Digsby could quickly become the popular im client if the newer versions stay stable.

If by "very soon" you mean at least a year...

It's unfortunate that Digsby team still didn't push out a Linux and Mac client so we just have to wait...

Vista Vulnerability Report mentions Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

Update: I posted this on MIXX since DIGG was taken care of by someone already, except that that user didn't really write a good preview for it so it got buried. This report is generating some buzz though. I emailed this report to Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu fame and little did I know, HE ANSWERED!!!! Whoever answered me on that side of the e-mail pipe liked the report and was wondering if it was official and whether he could quote from it. It definitely is official and I forwarded him the e-mail with this report, he said he will pass it down internally. That made my day, it's amazing that a man of his statute, that's if it was him, answers e-mails from regular people like me. That's what I call a real genuine pioneer! Thank you Mark and all of the Ubuntu Staff. Read

Running CockroachDB with Docker Compose and Minio, Part 2

This is my second post on creating a multi-service architecture with docker-compose. This is meant to be a learning exercise and typically docker-compose is used to set up a local development environment rather than a production-ready set up. I regularly, find myself building these environments to reproduce customer bugs. For a production-specific application, refer to your platform vendor documentation. At some later time, I will cover Kubernetes deployments that can be used as a stepping stone for a real-world application. Until then, let's focus on the task at hand. We're building a microservice architecture with CockroachDB writing changes in real-time to an S3 bucket in JSON format. S3 bucket is served by a service called Minio. It can act like an S3 appliance on premise or serve as a local gateway to your cloud storage. Let's dig in:

Doing "print screen" on a Mac is a pain in the ass

I am catching up with blogging today and I need to take a screenshot of my screen. I have a Macbook Pro with Ubuntu in a virtual machine. There is no printscreen button and a quick search returned "Apple + Shift + 3". Mac fanboys think that's easy and better than PC? So here's a problem. If you want to take a print screen in VM, that key combination doesn't work. What do I do besides opening the screenshot application and doing it half-assed way? I am sure you can edit key bindings but that should not be that way. If you know of any other ways, let me know.
