Error Compiling djbdns and daemontools

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

While attempting to compile djbdns 1.05 and daemontools 0.76 on a CentOS 5.5 I received the error:

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Today, I saw that Facebook introduced some new features, and one intriguing feature is called “Facebook Social Plugin“. It would be very interesting to have blog posts to be simply “liked”, and having information displayed about activities and recommendations related to your website.

Queue Jumper BJV2290

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
