Time Drive 0.2 – A “More S” Release: More Stable, More Secure, More Settings and Now Supports Amazon S3 Storage
This is my first release of an opensource program, And it feels good to share it with all of you out there.
Time Drive 0.2 is started by Robert Oaks (More info on the start you can find here) which did already a tremendous good job with version 0.1, but it had issues like stability is one of them, and those are now in the past tense .
In short: I started to get involved in the development process and in a mater of day I was committing my first changes to the source code of Time Drive. The result of the cooperation between Robert Oaks and me is Time Drive 0.2. The source code and the release can be downloaded of launchpad.
Some features are:
- More Settings: Different Storage Locations, Manage Your Backup Sets
- Amazon S3 Storage
More info about the release can be found here. Time Drive 0.2 can be downloaded here.
Any question regarding problems, bugs or feature request, just contact me or Rob Oakes

Well Time-Drive was first discoverd by me on highlight of Time Drive. I read through the artical and I was interested at first sight. Time-Drive is a wrapper for Duplicity.
The key elements that attracted me to the project was the fact that it was simple, clean and everthing was there what I needed, maby good solid replacement for the slbackup configuration.
This was my first opinion, this hasn’t changed but since Time-Drive is still in development I’m still using the old configuration. but in the near futher I will change to Time-Drive and duplicity.
For me the key of the program is you can schedule it with cron, well the program configures it more or less for you. The console program reads in the config file you created with the GUI, so you can move it to a server without X. What is also nice is an easy way to restore from backup.
I have tried to support the starting development process of Time-Drive by testing and helping to solve bugs. The creator of Time-Drive will put it as soon as possible on launchpad.

I’ve move the wordpress website to a new subfolder. This to create a simple start page for personal use with links to socialnetworks and photo sites.
The new url is now http://www.delodder.be/blog.
Please all that read this website please change the url. For the time now an redirect is active.
The move to the subfolder was quite easy. Change the “WordPress address” and the ” Blog address”. To the new location this options can be found in General Settings.
When I check the moved wordpress website, the images could not be found so. The next thing was to update the post_contents for the image locations. A simple query did the trick:
update `wp_posts` set `post_content` = replace(`post_content`, 'oldurl/wp-content', 'newurl/wp-content') where `post_content` like '%http://www.delodder.be/wp-content%';
The last thing was adding a redirect .htaccess file to the previous directory. Here is my redirect rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.delodder\.be [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.delodder.be/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
All these things worked for me but don’t blame me if your site breaks down.
IE6 saw life in 2001. True, it took Microsoft about 5 years to release the next one, but this is 2009. IE8 is here along with loads of other good browsers. It’s time to move on!

This weekend i got my Ubuntu One invitation.
I was eager to install it, for the installation on my jaunty machine it was a easy just follow this guide, the karmic machine wasn’t that easy to install you have to:
Add the sources manually the sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuone/beta/ubuntu karmic main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuone/beta/ubuntu karmic main
Installed it with this command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client
Now that was the installation part, which was simple.
But as I started to use it I noticed it was slow in syncing the files I have but in the Ubuntu One folder, not fully using my bandwith. As I would then directly compare with dropbox the same files took less time then with Ubuntu One. Since the PC is running 24/7 I don’t have an issue with the speed only you could point out, you can’t place something in the folder in a hurry.
For the rest I’ll stick to Ubuntu One since it’s easyer to install and I’m an Ubuntu user. Which I think makes Ubuntu One the default chose? right?.
If you reader could point out why Ubuntu One is a good chose, let me know.
