Warning: long post. All lazy readers must hide now. In my original post about the practicality of open source business models, I talked about the differences in Kaizen and Kakushin, how they were used, their benefits and disadvantages, and how each could be used to our benefit. In this post, I have decided to go [...]
Note, this is a long post. It also covers a tiny fraction of what is out there to understand. More updates will come about the open-source culture in the future. This text is also mainly written for those familiar with the Linux culture (as I use them as an analogy) – though regular business model [...]
Right. I didn’t give a post yesterday because my host was moving servers from America to Australia. So to all the people who were experiencing connectivity issues yesterday that was what the problem was. Things are getting ship shape and soon the site should be accessible to everybody worldwide without any issues. It already works [...]
Yesterday was the 13th of February. It was a very special day. Not only was it Friday the 13th, which probably means something unlucky will happen – it just so happens that yesterday was the end of the world for UNIX systems. Anybody here remember the Y2K bug? Basically they said computers couldn’t understand what [...]
Some people have heard things like “open-source”, “freeware”, “hacker etiquette”, etc. However, a lot of people are doubtful about it and this is mostly because they don’t understand it fully. I have decided that for today’s post, I will shed some light on the background behind open source culture. Yes, there is such thing as [...]
Most people who read this blog will know that I use Linux. Not only do I use it, I recommend it to others quite often. Though I do point out some of the shortcomings that Linux have in my recommendations, most of the time it is generally accompanied with a short excuse that goes something [...]
Feeling in a rather procrastinatic (word?) nature, I’ve once again displayed my utter aptitude in presenting delayed articles. This is the third part in the series, so you might want to check out part 1 – a general overview on the types of computer users, and perhaps even part 2 – about web browsing, email [...]
Ok, a picture speaks a thousand words, and also makes typing a detailed blog post a lot easier. Let’s take a good look at what’s new with KDE 4.2 (well, actually, the entire 4.x series – everything looks cool). If you haven’t tried out KDE yet, or are cautious about entering the 4.x series, or [...]
It seems as though I’m again too busy to come up with a proper long techy post. I decided to tackle an old problem that many people overlook: the ability to communicate the advantages of a project properly to potential customers. Right now, I’m reffering to Gentoo. Gentoo is a Linux distribution which targets a [...]
Gnome. KDE. The two monoliths of the Linux desktop environment market. It’s pretty common knowledge that I am a KDE person, as emphasized in my recent article about how to use your computer: part 2. I’m not saying Gnome is bad – in fact, I’m writing this post on Epiphany on Gnome right now, and [...]
I’m sorry. I might like Linux but I can see that pencil thin line (yes, that means it’s erasable) that differentiates (argh! Calculus!) between appreciation and fanaticism. I’ve done my share of blatant Linux propaganda (with a fair few converts) but I’ve dimmed down a bit now. If people want me to help with their [...]
For those who don’t know, KDE is a desktop environment (a GUI – graphical user interface) that can be used with Linux. In Linux, you choose what GUI you want, if you want one in the first place :) The KDE v4.1.2 has moved from the overlay to the main portage tree on October the [...]
Just some fun stuff I might share. There are a lot of them, but the majority of them in my opinion are really horrible. Here are some I picked out (Click on them for full size image). Note: I do not claim any credit for making any of them.
Recently I’ve been rather interested in the whole theory that Linux runs on: Open-Source. Open source software is free software. Free as in freedom, not only free beer. We’ve all heard that phrase before. At the other end of the spectrum is proprietry software, such as Microsoft’s XP, Vista, and the whole series. The main [...]
Useful information stuff: Professionals who have done 156-215 and 1Y0-456 usually advise the same tips to all the 1z0-042 and 642-892 candidates. They also say, that had they done 70-272 or 70-528, they would not have needed these tips. Edit: you might be looking for: Should I Use Linux? What is Linux? Some people use [...]
