My main category, the original love of my life. Linux (maybe a bit of Windows, too), Free/Open Source Software, Programming, and Gadgets.
I can’t believe that six months have already gone by. At the same time, I bid those six months good riddance! It would be unfair for me to say that the first half of 2019 was filled with nothing but bad things but since it’s impossible to turn back time, I’d rather just turn by … More Half a year has gone by: what happened the past 6 months
(This post was written and was supposed to be published in April. Yeah …) I finally bit the bullet. I’m a hoarder of notebooks of the physical variety, most of which remain unused and unsullied by ink or graphite. I also hoard productivity systems in the false hope that I’ll stumble on one that will … More Bullet Journal 4 months in: why it doesn’t work for me
I thought I had left the darkness behind in February, but its fingers still had a small hold this March. In some ways, things aren’t as bad. In other ways, they’re a bit worse.
Presenting the Classroom‘s third class, Basic Compiling. One of the great benefits of Linux and Free and Open Source Software, in general, is the ability to compile software. This opens up new possibilities on how the software will be installed and perform on different systems (but that’s for a more advanced topic). This class introduces … More Ubuntu-Classroom: Basic Compiling
The second session of the Ubuntu Classroom was held just a few days ago. This time the topic was on the basic use of the command line. The Command Line Interface (CLI) or command line, for short, is one of the most powerful tools in Linux, for which it is both famous and notorious. It … More Ubuntu-Classroom: Command Line Basics
MAJOR EDIT: I have decided to follow the format of my transcript for the second Ubuntu Classroom, and combine both days’ classes in one page. This will minimize having to switch from page to page. I also put the “Review” section at the end of the whole transcript, in order not to distract readers from … More Classes Begin
richbarna over at Ubuntuforums.org started a thread that collected blogs and/or websites of the different Ubuntu users/community members. Not all of them are Linux-related. It’s sometimes nice to know what other Ubuntistas (I think that’s what we Ubuntu users are called) are interested in. The variety of interests and personalities just goes to show how … More Ubuntu Users: Get inside their heads
So what have I been doing these past days? Well, first I’ve finally finished writing the first part of my first ever Linux article/post. It took some time to make because I wanted to get at least some of my facts and information right. Even so, I’m still not absolutely sure that what I wrote … More Updates
a.k.a. Linux, FOSS, and other geeky thingsLast year, circa December 2005, I got acquainted with a computer entity known as Linux. This entity comes in different shapes and forms, but it mostly prefers to take the likeness of a shiny penguin named Tux, although it has also been known to appear as a scarlet pointed … More What the fsck is Linux? (Part 1)
Last night I said that I would be writing very soon about what I have been preoccupied with for the past days, namely my test run in GNOME. Unfortunately, due to some circumstances, I might have to put that off again, at least for the next 1 or 2 days. I’m currently downloading some stuff … More Another “probable” delay…
