Hi there my imaginary green fellas! I feel quite mad right now as everytime I browse the web there's a noobuntu related post on how to do things the wrong way.Be mature and don't get touchy with that comment. I don't hate newbies, I hate n00bs because they mislead newbies.You, my little green newbie, will enjoy this post. OK! Lets get our hands dirty:PROBLEM: Tweetdeck doesn't open links in our

In a recent ComputerWorld article, which is available online, I posted quite a long answer to a question many people new to GNU/Linux is eager to answer. Although people like me preffers ignoring in the name of "chose what you want, do whatever you want and leave me alone". However I took my time to answer due to the inconsistencies and wrong statements the author managed to fall in. So here is

While developing oddfx I've come to the conclusion I should start a second project. A very brief one for sure. But, after seeing the numbers myself, I found oddfx's linuxrules too compelling to be taken vainly. [...] And I am quite sure many people will want this. I hope they get notice soon. You see, linuxrules is a POSIX awk compliant set of rules for reading as much Linux system information

Paving the way for an old thought I've found an outdated text of mine, barely reformatted to fit this Blog. Oh! Gods, how much I hate blogs... It is from a visit I paid the last year to linuxhaxor.com. Quite a pretentious name but really a site one wants to visit from time to time. Personal note: Aggregated --> to the feeds Yeah, it works my way ..or not Indeed I've found a nice article which

Who the heck could have figured out that Python needed a system module in order to show its own version? python -c "import sys; print (sys.version[:3])" I humbly think this is pure madness! Is there a better way to do this shit!? Your comments are very appreciated!! And sorry for the fucking language. As you may have noticed, English is not my native tongue and this is not a god day.

As I am a Perl, Lua and shell utilities typical fan-boy; that is to say, a weird but committed KISS advocate; I will make this post as minimal as possible. Today, I was trying to package a little something for openSUSE. There were missing dependencies as usual so I went for it! Firstly libgmail, but then, mechanize. Crossed fingers at this time hoping for the build server to quit complaining

Personal Notes... I am finishing a personal script which I will publish here later. Its main function is updating some hg (mercurial) and svn (subversion) repositories weekly, checking out if there are any changes to commit them to the openSUSE build service for compiling and updating my personal RPM repository.It is rater simple as for the code implied. Though, I was not aware of any utility
