Chris — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 20:44:46 +0000

I just created an PAUSE (Perl Authors Upload Server) account and uploaded my RT extensions hosted at GitHub. From now you will find my work also at CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~cloos/.

RT-Extension-HistoryFilter

Chris — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:37:00 +0000

This Request Tracker extension is an extended version of RT-Extension-BriefHistory where the user can select in their preferences, which transaction types they want to see on the ticket display page. You can find it as always @ GitHub: http://github.com/cloos/rt-extension-historyfilter.

RT-Extension-BriefHistory

Chris — Thu, 20 May 2010 19:24:28 +0000

My second Request Tracker extension cleans up a little bit the ticket page. In the history you will only see transactions from type create, correspond and comment. If you want to see the full history you have to use the history link in the top menu. You can find the extension at Github: http://github.com/cloos/rt-extension-briefhistory.

Goodby Hero, Welcome Desire

My HTC Hero mobile is gone (to my wife) and I have now an HTC Desire. It is powered by Android 2.1, an 1GHz Snapdragon processor and the fantastic HTC Sense user interface. It’s an great pleasure to play with that toy.

RT-Extension-Gravatar

I just created my first Request Tracker extension. It will put some nice Gravatar images of your requestors and users into your RT. You can find it at GitHub: http://github.com/cloos/rt-extension-gravatar.

Firefox for Android

Chris — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:04:33 +0000

For those like me, who are waiting for Firefox for Android, you can read the latest news about that here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android or https://wiki.mozilla.org/android.
In the blog of one of the developers there are also some more information: http://blog.vlad1.com/2010/02/02/android-progress-more-pixels-edition/.

RT System Configuration Page

Chris — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:40:24 +0000

The System Configuration Page (Configuration=>Tools=>System Configuration) didn’t look really nice. As I like fancy layouts, I put some of the information into tables with the default RT layout (see the code here).

With this changes I inspired Jesse Vincent to make the page look even more beautiful by putting the information into nice boxes (see the code here).

To see the changes, get the latest version from github or wait for the next release (3.8.8).

RT Shredder Bug

Chris — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:35:43 +0000

Just played a little bit with the request tracker shredder that is new in Version 3.8 and found a bug. I want to delete a user but the shredder also deleted an ticket. Lets see what the developer say to that.

RT Upgrade 3.6.3 to 3.8.6

Chris — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:28:29 +0000

Yesterday I’ve made an upgrade of you request tracker from 3.6.3 to 3.8.6. The upgrade runs really smooth and only took an hour. The longest part was the upgrade of the mysql tables.

IMAP Server

Chris — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:16:22 +0000

My Dovecot IMAP Server is running. The installation was very simple, thanks to the great tutorial at http://workaround.org/ispmail/lenny. So it is time to test some webmail clients. Candidates are IMP (from Horde), SquirrelMail and RoundCube. If you know any other webmail client that is worth looking at, just leave me a message.
