GPG Keys

Filed under: Uncategorized — Alex @ 6:34 am

OK, I’ve finally bit the bullet and decided to create a GPG key (yes, I need to sign things too).

To import it into your keyring, use:
gpg --keyserver gpg.mit.edu --recv-key 505ED974

or manually import it (remember to use --armor), using the public key available at http://mediati.org/pubkey.gpg.

Kazam!

We now have a shiny new admin panel in trunk, commited last night! Woohoo!
Since we all love pictures, here’s one of the login:
Login screen.

Thanks to so_solid for fixing my nasty Mac OS line endings, and some of my Python coding.

Hawkeye progress

Filed under: Bongo — Alex @ 6:25 am

After spending a few days tweaking the Hawkeye layout, it seems to be coming along rather nicely. Here’s a before and after, the left being the mockup, the other the current implementation (in Epiphany):

The Python code calculating the current memory usage is a nice touch. Plus it works fairly well in most browsers, such as IE7, Firefox, Opera, Epiphany, and Konqueror, unless you’re running IE6, which we discovered looked completely yucky (thanks Jonny).

It should also be simple enough to fully deck out the admin interface with the different tasks - the real issue is going to be getting agent pages dynamically entered into the system, and possibly getting the task group panes fixed up a bit more by sorting them into a tile view.

I’ll hold off on a patch until tomorrow, when I can hopefully get one or two more issues sorted, then hopefully post it to -devel.

A final thanks to Alex Hudson for adding me to the Planet - and to the Bongo devs for working on such a great product!
