I’ve disabled my user approve plugin
Sorry for the inconvenience folks. I was annoyed by having to mark so many comments as spam, but the plugin interface was so klugy that I had no idea how to find the users who would contribute useful posts. So. Feel free to comment… Nao!

More DLR work

Locale configuration post-Intrepid
I was reminded this morning after a bit of chatter on #debian-cli that my previous write-up on setting one’s locale on Ubuntu is out-of-date.
