The post installation update of Fedora 10 - Gnome took forever!
One bad thing about the update is that the shut down settings have changed. Before the update, when I chose "shutdown" from the System menu, "hibernate" and "suspend" were options. Now, they aren't there!
I am thankful that I didn't have ...

I was using the Ubuntu Netbook Remix for a while. I can say that it suited all my needs and was very efficient about using space. I didn't have to customize any of the appearance settings at all; it just worked. I think the only downside of my using UNR ...

Yahoo! It definitely looks nicer than the stock Linpus operating system, but it also comes at a price ... gone is my 15 second boot up time. It sure would be nice to have both a super fast boot up and this nicer OS. I guess I can start reading ...

I don't consider myself a novice when it comes to e-commerce systems, but Magento sure has given me some headaches. I will admit that I started off without reading a user guide, and that was probably not the smartest thing. I've read a few knowledgebase articles and a few forum ...

Yeah, another woe post. haha.
I tried to install Magento Commerce onto my Leopard system (Apple OS 10.5.x) just now, and it complained about not having "pdo_mysql", "gd", and "mcrypt". Oh, how I hate having to deal with compiling extensions and plugins! Now, I know why I don't use a VPS ...

I thought I'd give TangoCMS a try this weekend. I have used CodeIgniter and Kohana, and so I figured the TangoCMS which is built on a MVC framework was worth trying. I don't know if there will ever be as many Zula developers as there are Kohana developers, so that ...

breath deeply - hand on chest and stomach, only the stomach should rise
eating - avoid snacks
sleeping - if you can't get regular nights sleep, try power napping
