There seems to be some confusion surrounding why we made the decisions we did regarding the Ubuntu-US Planet. I would like to discuss those now, and I leave the comments section wide open for feedback pertaining to the reasons backing our decisions. There seems to have been hurt feelings, as some have left [...]
After reading Nick’s post about Scoble and the RSS Feeds that he reads, I thought I would throw yet another hat in for RSS and what I’ve finally settled on.
In my last post, I published the feeds that I read and the reader that I was using to read my feeds, namely Bloglines. Well, [...]
Let me count the ways…
Again, you have saved my laptop from certain death again, when the Ubuntu Live CD, and many others, would not boot. How can I show my appreciation? Thank you yet again from a very satisfied user!
Ok. Now that I have the official word on not getting hired by Google, I’m opening the Can ‘O Worms. Yes, I almost took a job with Google, and no, I wasn’t job hunting. Let me tell the story.
It’s a quiet day. I’m sitting in front of Hercules (R.I.P.), my faithful [...]
While reading Planet Gnome, I read a good post by Clare So discussing programming suggestions for CS students. I thought it was a particularly good read, and would like to also discuss it here. The inspiration for his post, and mine as well, comes from a list of suggestions found on Google (that [...]
This past Ubuntu release, I did a fresh install, rather than upgrade my machine. You see, I’ve been upgrading it since Breezy, and well, I felt that I was experiencing some sort of operating system bloat. Edgy had been getting relatively slow and it seemed like more and more of my precious RAM [...]
Can someone explain this for me? Honestly, I’m lost, and I don’t understand the basis for the argument.
When attending my local university about 4 years ago, I was discussing with another student about the advantages of having a Solaris Unix computer lab. We had one in our Computer Science department building, but the [...]
If you guessed 1024, you’re wrong. I was just asked this question not 20 minutes ago, and I choked, when the answer was in my hands, quite literally.
I’ve blogged about this before, but counting in binary is easy, just using your fingers. So, when asked that question, the calculator that you [...]
After last night’s post, I began tinkering with the colorscheme for my centericq installation. Really, the layout of the application is self explanatory as to where the colors go. So, because I use the madcow theme for my irssi install, I thought that I would try to get it to match as closely [...]
I’ve blogged about GNU screen on many an occasion. I’m not going to go into the technical reasons why I use it, but rather, the personal.
First off, I am in love with the terminal. I am of the opinion that if you want to get into Linux, regardless of your operating system, you [...]
I guess when you have GNU developing both the bash shell and the text editor emacs, you’re going to have one set of keyboard shortcuts work in the other. Case in point: the emacs keyboard shortcuts are also bound in the bash shell.
Well, being a vim enthusiast, that just isn’t going to work. [...]
Well, this is an exciting time for me right now. introPLAY, the startup company that I just hired on with, has officially released their product, the newest, and in my opinion, best sports and fitness site on the web.
What is introPLAY?
introPLAY is an exercise tracking site. With introPLAY, you enter your workout from [...]
There are only 9 days left, until Open Discussion Day, and I am posting this to remind you of the event and the purpose. Open Discussion Day is May 19th, every year, and it’s a day where you drop your legacy IM protocols in favor of open protocols, such as Jabber/XMMP.
I blogged about this [...]
Vim is my beloved editor of choice. Not because I am opinionated about Vi versus Emacs, but because vi was the editor that I picked up, and I have been using it since. I would probably come to enjoy Emacs as well, if I were to take the time to use it.
Anyway, I [...]
