Oracle XE and libaio

From my search stats, its quite clear that a lot of people are struggling with installing the Oracle XE rpm. As a result, I've uploaded the rpm that I used for my installation on Fedora Core 4. You can download this directly at http://www.jellyandcustard.com/downloads/libaio-0.3.104-2.i386.rpm or from the command line by executing this just before installing Oracle XE:

rpm -ivh http://www.jellyandcustard.com/downloads/libaio-0.3.104-2.i386.rpm

Happy installing!

Google Earth for Mac OS X

Finally, it appears a beta leak has appeared of Google Earth for Mac OS X. Macs were originally left out of the software release, with google saying:

At this time, Google Earth supports Windows only; however, we hope to support Mac and Linux OS soon. In the meantime, although it might be slower, some Mac users have had success running Google Earth with a PC emulator.

Well here we go. You can download the beta of this software here
