Brady said it's time I wrote about my Nexus One, so here it is.   It hasn't even been a year since I got my G1 but it was still time to upgrade.

The primary reason I wanted to upgrade was because my G1 just didn't work anymore.  I've been running the CyanogenMod on my phone for some time which seemed to help initially, but lately I had been having tremendous problems just answering my phone.  Let that sink in - I couldn't answer calls on my phone.  That was unacceptable.

The Google Nexus One came out in January and was very interesting to me but I had two percieved problems with it: no 3G on AT&T and no keyboard.

I couldn't find a "utils.php" script for making it easier to write nagios plugins in PHP so I thought I'd whip one up.  This is a combination of the utils.php from CVS I found laying around the web and a port of Nagios::Plugin::Range perl module.  It seems to pass all the tests that I found for the nagios plugins range documentation.

I recently bought a couple Western Digital 1.5TB "Green" Drives (WD15EADS) to rebuild my home media storage array with higher-density disks.  I already had one Segate 1.5TB drive (ST31500341AS) I was using for a "scratch" drive  (rpm mock builds, storing MythTV recordings, secondary backup) that I had problems using at all until Seagate released a firmware update, so I was skeptical about buying more of those.  I thought the green drives would be fine; that despite their variable rotational speed, the power savings and ability to spin up to higher speeds when needed would work out fine.

Mozdev's Drupal instance has been upgraded to version 5.21 to address security concerns.  Let us know if you have problems with any of the hosted projects.

The next Mozdev community meeting has been scheduled; we'd appreciate it if you can come by and discuss Mozdev's future.

Friday, Nov 20th 14:00 EST (19:00 UTC) #mozdev on irc.mozilla.org

The meeting will be logged and will be available here: http://irc.mozdev.org/logs.html

The agenda is currently very similar to the last meeting's agenda but we will probably spend less time on finances and committee organization:

You may want to review the logs from the last meeting for background:

We'd like to have a meeting to discuss the new Mozdev community organization with interested parties. So far the most people seem to be able to meet on Saturday, so I'd like to propose the following time:

Saturday, Nov 14th 11:00 EST (17:00 UTC) #mozdev on irc.mozilla.org

The meeting will be logged and will be available here: http://irc.mozdev.org/logs.html

We're still working on an agenda and will post a link to it as soon as we have some more ideas.
