I was reading Slashdot a minute ago, and there was an ‘Ask Slashdot’ post from a guy having a hard time finding a Linux application that can properly rip a DVD into other formats. It seems a lot of Linux DVD ripping apps are finicky and buggy and never work quite right (or don’t work [...]
Today, I have finally released the first version of Socialite, a Wordpress plugin to publish Wordpress posts to Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace.
