FreeBSD new leadership:
| The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce the conclusion of our fourth consecutive democratic election of project leadership. The FreeBSD Core Team constitutes the project’s “Board of Directors” and is responsible for vetting new src committers, arbitrating technical disagreements, weighing in on policy and administrative issues, and appointing sub-committees for handling specific duties (security officer, release engineers, port managers, webmasters, etc..).
The core team has been democratically elected every 2 years by active FreeBSD committers since 2000.Peter Wemm is rejoining the team after a 2 year hiatus, and Kris Kennaway is joining the team for the first time. The remaining 7 slots were filled with incumbents Wilko Bulte, Brooks Davis, Giorgos Keramidas, George V. Neville-Neil, Hiroki Sato, Murray Stokely, and Robert Watson.
The new core team would like to especially thank outgoing members Wes Peters and Warner Losh for their many years of service to FreeBSD, our electioneer Dr. Josef Karthauser for running another election for us, and our returning core secretary Philip Paeps.
Murray Stokely

- Sony VAIO TZ: Kevin at notebookreview.com published a new review for Sony VAIO TZ. Not so interesting but very informative:
| The Sony TZ is the latest offering from Sony in the ultra portable market. With its small size and extreme low weight, it is a must on any business traveler’s notebook list. The Sony TZ combines a new LED backlight display, solid state drive, over-sized battery, and ultra low voltage processors from Intel to make it an all around extended battery performer. Read on to find out how the paper specs stack up in real world use. |
- Acer TravelMate 6292: This laptop poses a serious mien, wrote Darius Chan from cnet asia.
| The Acer TravelMate 6291 and 6292 shift away from the Taiwan maker’s usual consumer offerings into the business world (though at the time of this review, the TravelMate 6291 had been discontinued). It does not compete in the same category as machines like the Lenovo ThinkPad X61s and HP Compaq 2510p. Nor does it pretend to. With a starting price of S$1,898 for the lower-end configuration, it does battle with larger business workhorses like the Lenovo 3000 N200 and Fujitsu LifeBook A6030 for the junior executive or student. Despite a few minor issues, the TravelMate 6292 offers one of the best values for a thin-and-light laptop in its price range. Read whole review here>> |

A favicon is a small icon that appear next to a website url in the browser. The size is just 16×16 pixel. Very small. I was wondering how to create that. Then I start searching and found a few tutorials on how to create a favicon. You can use Adobe Photoshop with plugin from Telegraphics installed. I used this one to create mine.
There are many websites that offer the service to create this favicon from image file, and the one that I like is dynamic drive favicon generator. Search engine is great.
