"Today, we’re pleased to announce that Delicious has been acquired by the founders of YouTube, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. As creators of the largest online video platform, they have firsthand experience enabling millions of users to share their experiences with the world. They are committed to running and improving Delicious going forward."
So finally Yahoo! is is not closing Delicious (yet another service they don’t know how to monetize). Good news.
Update: I got an email from Yahoo! asking me for permission to move my links with Delicious to the new company (they have a different set of terms of service and privacy policy). Yay!
Last night I made a sprint before dinner, and the gettext support it’s almost ready!
Almost 100% translated to Spanish
I have to make a table to translate the numerical value of current conditions into a string so I can add it to PO files (currently I’m directly using the string provided by Yahoo! API, quick and dirty!).
So expect next version to be translated in a couple of languages (Alex is going to work on the French translation, to add to the English and Spanish ones).
This version will be the first one I want to be packaged for Fedora 12 & 13, and it’ll be the last version to work with Bonobo interface for Gnome panel (once Fedora 14 it’s released, and I install it to have a Gnome 2.32 to work with).
"Traffic Server fills the need for a fast, extensible and scalable HTTP 1.1 proxy and cache. We have a production proven piece of software that can deliver HTTP traffic at high rates, and can scale well on modern SMP hardware. We have benchmarked Traffic Server to handle in excess of 35,000 RPS on a single box. Traffic Server has a rich feature set, implementing most of HTTP/1.1 to the RFC specifications."

Yahoo! releases Traffic Server as Open Source software under the Apache Software Foundation incubator project.
OK, we already have the awesome SQUID for that, but it’s very interesting that Yahoo! it’s releasing code (and Traffic Server claims to be very good delivering traffic at high speed rates).
"[…] Zimbra has been bought by Yahoo. Things have got a lot worse since that happened. Yahoo started over-branding the zimbra interface with their crappy logos, pushed an ugly yahoo search nobody wanted, installed yahoo zimlets by default. The Zimbra Desktop is now Yahoo Zimbra Desktop. The previous conception was that Zimbra would never propose Zimbra hosting, and instead let a pool of partners propose their own solutions instead; these have all been screwed now."
