Five years for Slackalaxy

Posted: 2017-05-31 | Author: | Filed under: misc | Leave a comment

It has been 5 years! I have 156 posts, including this one. There are several changes:

  • Slackalaxy has its own domain and there are no advertisements.
  • After this poll at LQ, I gave the Gallery maintenance to Skaendo, a LQ user and maintainer at SBo. I believe he will take a good care of the collection and the SlackBuild.
  • The Biology page was modified, so there are links not only to the projects web-sites but also to relevant entries at SBo.

Well… that’s it, I guess.

Four years passed since my first post…

This makes total of 133 posts, including this one. Recently I switched back to Pilcrow, the theme that I used the longest. I think I will keep it, since I like the simple appearance and the green code highlighting :)

I like to have Google Earth available. One of the features I like is the ability to view photos from almost any location. Unfortunately, the version available at the moment from SBo (7.1.4.1529) has some bug that prevents it from displaying places photos. This did not happen with version 6.2.2.6613. Unfortunatelly, finding an older version of Google Earth turned out to be quite difficult.
