Few comments to add though.

You can take the latest version of each codeset from the 0.10 branch.

Dependencies:

You may need ‘yasm’ in addition to the previously mentioned ‘libxml2-devel’ and ‘gcc-c++’

You will not need the whole of ‘*glib*’ as this will be hundreds of megabytes of installation. If you are short on diskspace (I was doing this on an old eeepc with 4gb of root space total) experiment with the minimum that configure suggests you need.

Note it will take a long time to compile everything but it’s worth it.

it happend to me because when i used the command ./configure…. make install (i wrote instal)

dunno …check your instalation of gst–plugins-base

configure: No package ‘gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10′ found
configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.29 (GStreamer Base Plug-ins Library) found

It makes no sense to me – the base package is version 0.10.29 and it rejects it because it is more recent than 0.10.

gcc-c++ and libxml2-devel

I’m doing it right now in MeeGo, I hope it’ll work. The compilation does it right so I assume it’ll work.

The site itself is fine. It’s doing the same things in the same way as bendunne.com or donedeal.ie. It’s all about cost and return. People are reluctant to spend time & money posting an ad if not enough people are going to see it. I can spend €3 with Donedeal.ie and get on a site with 110m pageviews per month (see http://www.irelandmetrix.ie/topsites.html) or spend €1 to get on sellmix.com which does 1/5500 the traffic. That makes it 1833 times more expensive in like for like terms to advertise on sellmix.com.

If you want to get this type of site off the ground you need to shrink this multiplier, by either reducing the cost or increasing the volume of the traffic. Even reducing the cost can only go so far, because the seller still needs to take the time to write the ad.

When it comes to building volume, unless you have a USP you can either do it slow and cheap or throw money at it to build traffic fast. I have no concrete numbers but my gut feeling is that donedeal.ie aren’t relying on search engines for a huge amount of their traffic. The valuable visitors are those that visit regularly and/or subscribe to the newsletter/RSS feed. These visitors are gained the old fashioned way, through advertising (expensive) and word of mouth (slow).

Given what I’ve seen with sellmix.com and getabuilder.ie, I think the only way to compete is to be disruptive. Copying the market leaders isn’t good enough. Ben Dunne tried that and threw a ton of money at it and he’s only turning over €100 a day. Sorry, but that’s the way I see it.

I would also like some feedback on my site http:// http://www.sellmix.com ,which is basically a site offering free advertisement for business and a place to sell or buy goods.
I am in the process of introducing a trade section (www.trade.sellmix.com open to all sections of business large and small. I have 20,000 page hits so far this month double last months total for the whole month.
I am a one man band and have secured a top 10 google spot re. buy & sell Ireland enquiries but still finding it difficult getting people to post their adverts.
Any advice? limited budget to work with here..

Regards,

Mairead.

Now I added in the lines you said above and now when I boot its stuck on MOBLIN black adn white, won’t go anywhere.

Tenderme.ie was a bust because tradesmen were having to pay to submit each bid without a guarantee (or even a good chance) of the resulting business. this structure is very like madbid.com, where you pay a fee before you make a bid. What you don’t realise to start with is the site are making a ton of money out of all the bidders, not just the winning one. It’s more of a lottery than an auction.

A more logical way to operate would be for the winning tradesman to pay a fee (possibly a small percentage of the contract value), on completion of the work. Obviously this would require a bit more of a formal structure, but it’s fair on all concerned and actually incentivises tradesmen to bid on more jobs as they only incur a fee on business they actually win.

Seen your comments regarding bendunne.com and I would like to introduce my website to you and maybe get your feedback. The website is called http://www.getabuilder.ie/ maybe you could give me your honest opinion.
Currently I receive about 30,000 page hits a month and I am about to launch our advertising campaign.
Any tips

My next computer is going to be a Mac, and the one after that will likely be a Chrome OS machine. I am greatly looking forward to the demise of Microsoft.

Thanks a ton for a quick reply and the help.

There is another wrinkle however. Ubuntu 9.10 came out recently and the default filesystem changed from the old reliable ext3 to the new and shiney ext4 filesystem. The current release of Moblin doesn’t support ext4 so the above method doesn’t work. I’m in the middle of writing a new post to work with Moblin 2.1 & Ubuntu 9.10 which I should have up in a day or two, but in escence it involves having the Ubuntu grub on /dev/sda chain loading a Moblin grub on /dev/sda2.

su –

and enter your password.

Once you’ve done that you need to edit the file using vi (the default installed text editor). Type

vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

Move the cursor to where you want to add text and type “a” (to tell vi that you want to add text) and then start typing. When finished press escape twice then “:” (to get the function prompt) and “wq” (to write and quit). Reboot and you’re good to go.

How do you edit the file? Could you elaborate? (I’ve searched the Net already for instructions, but I didn’t find any thing in great detail. Maybe I’m not searching right.)

I am attempting a triple boot of Windows XP, Moblin + Ubuntu on a Dell Mini 9. XP boots fine & so does Moblin. The only one Moblin doesn’t “see” at the boot screen is Ubuntu.

When I tried to edit the Moblin grub menu, the file I got was blank, so I know I must have been doing something wrong.

Please, could you help?

By the way, Moblin V2 is the most beautiful OS that I’ve seen.

Much appreciated. Thank you!

Mea culpa. I misread the Heise article. The blog post has been amended. Note to self: stop posting blog articles just before I hit the sack!

I think you have your story all wrong. I wrote a blog commenting on this attempted Man-In-The-Middle attack back in May and I was happy to report that Carbonite WAS NOT one of the companies that was vulnerable to the attack. Only Carbonite and Mozy were unable to be compromised. Carbonite did not send any data, but instead displayed an error message that did not let the hackers at Heise into our system. Since your inaccurate blog posting threatens the reputation of our business, would you please correct the factual errors in your story?

I’d be happy to answer any questions you have on this topic. Please feel free to contact me at david.friend(at)carbonite.com.

Sincerely,

David Friend
CEO, Carbonite, Inc.

This very informative site, not only posts up to date news and articles from the industry, but also lists about 400 online backup companies and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis and features a CEO Spotlight page, where senior management people from the industry are interviewed.

Now it’s nearly a week since Cubic Telecom presented their new product Maxroam at TechCrunch 40 (TC40), but still they don’t reveal their real prices which should be found here. Still Maxroam says “Rates published soon” while Cubic Telecom’s websi…

Most of the country think of flying in terms of holidays, but London isn’t what you’d call a tourist destination. The vast majority of the users of the Heathrow flights are “suits” (myself included). You can be sure that any organisation can very quickly calculate how much all these 1/2 days are going to cost them, and it will come up the next time relocation is discussed.

The argument that interfering in the decisions of a private company would damage it is bullshit too. The government said that the 25% shareholding was for exactly this purpose when they floated the company. The other shareholders bought into the company with this knowledge, so they have no grounds for complaint.

I appreciate the comment, I hadn’t actually considered a situation of your manner and I totally agree that it would make it very inconvenient for you and any other in that situation. I think that work needs to be done to keep the area rejuvinated so that airlines will in fact keep running links to the area.

Your opinion has finished off my blog in a manner I couldn’t do, as since I’m from Dublin I don’t know the personal-level effects of this decision, thanks again!
