BREAKING: Google Chrome Just Launched

Comment in News (15 diggs, 1 reply) - on 09/02/2008

Automate backups on Linux

Automate backups on Linux

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/09/2008
I think the gem here is mention of the keychain script for using making a more secure rsync,ssh,scp public key system. I didn't know about it and have been using passwordless private keys for automated tasks, far from ideal. No longer. Digg. (see comment)

Comment in News (4 diggs, 1 reply) - on 06/18/2008
Good article, bad conclusion. The time you spend setting this up will take you more time then the time you save with prelink in a couple years of usage. Prelink pixie dust is not worth it. (see comment)

Eee PC 900 worth it?

Comment in News (4 diggs, 1 reply) - on 05/11/2008
Kind of dumb comparison. The Eee is all about ultra portable and solid state. If you don't care about size, ya, get a low end laptop from Dell. (see comment)

Great taskbar idea

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/26/2007
This idea has some great potential. I see your point about the quick launch buttons moving, but I also do like how the windows attach to the launcher too. It does save some screen real estate by only needing to show one icon for multiple windows. Would … (see comment)

Run Your Existing Windows Installation on Ubuntu with Vmware Player

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 02/08/2007
Unfortunately, You can not suspend a VMWare virtual machine when it is using a physical partition. So you have to 'boot' it every time. Having an image file is nice when you need to just 'pop' in and out quickly by using suspend. (see comment)

XMP Manager - an easy way to add persistent metadata to your photos

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 02/08/2007
