So, having reflected a couple of days ago on my resolutions for 2011, I’m going to look back over the last 10 years, the decade often known as the “naughties”. Year-by-year, what happened in Ogleyland?

O, won’t you please authenticate me
Yesterday, Twitter disabled the basic username/password authentication for client applications. This is a move toward greater security but it did mean that anyone using Gwibber will suddenly have found that their Twitter stream stopped updating. A mere matter of hours later and an updated version of Gwibber has been pushed out that supports the new …

Planet SUSE
I just did a massive (and I mean HUGE) catch-up on Planet SUSE. If you’re on the Planet and you recently contacted me about it, all should now be as you asked. If you think anything is amiss, please let me know, I’d hate to have missed anything in the mass of updates.

Summer of Code: Sync with Mobile Devices?
One of the openSUSE projects for this year’s Google Summer of Code was Sync with Mobile Devices. Does anyone reading this know what the status of this is? Are there any packages available for testing as it progresses? At the end of the summer, will I be any more likely to be able to sync …
