I kept getting this seg fault error today. I resolved it simply grabbing
latest date.rb version from Ruby CVS repository (
complete changes list for date.rb; note that date.rb version 1.17.2.7 was the one giving problems, and the latest tagged 1.8.3).
#sudo gem install rubygems-update
Attempting local installation of ‘rubygems-update’

There is no doubt, Linux is such a creative environment you can’t compare it with Windows.
Many people (including me) expressed their own opinion about which OS is better. In my opinion there is no a "better" OS, but a more "suitable" OS.
You get Windows and Windows apps as-is. You are a passive user. You download, you install, you run the app.

I have been busy doing a lot stuff lately, that range from increasing the study-time to studying a great programming language that powers an even greater web developer framework. My hope is the success of this framework will help spread Ruby support among hosts.

A note, "anything" the title means "any ssh-client enabled platform". I just finished experimenting this solution, I took a lot from
Gavin Reid walkthrough. Last edit of the document is 2001 so some info are old and not up-to-date.
Server configuration
- Download SSHWindows. Configure it. (steps in quickstart.txt are enough to get you started).
- Start it (net start opensshd)

When remotely editing through Vim on a friend’s server, I had troubles using the arrow keys, because instead of moving the cursor, using them result in some random letters printed on the screen. After some researches I stumbled on this help (:help compatible_):
<br />
This option has the effect of making Vim either more Vi-compatible, or<br />
make Vim behave in a more useful way. When a ".vimrc" file is found while Vim is starting up, this option is switched off, and all options that have not been modified will be set to the Vim defaults.<br />

I spent the last hour
GIMPing around with a photo I took a couple of weeks ago, featuring my best friend
blextar and me with the most stupid and arrogant face we could ever think of. My auntie has bought a new camera, so she gifted my family with her old one. It was a long time I had been thinking of buying one, and I got one without even asking! What a luck ;) The photo is one of the first I took with this new toy. I wasn’t satisfied enough with the original one, so I thought to edit it.

After getting
gdesklets working this night, I was quite happy. But when I realized maximizing windows would have hidden the StartedBar, I said to myself “We need a solution” (tm).
Debian and therefore
Ubuntu do not include in their distribution the 6.8 X.org server (no X.org package at all actually), so no transparencies for me.

Bored to see always the same background on your desktop?
Put your favourites
backgrounds inside a dir, create this simple script and put it in cron. I update my background every 10 mins.
#!/bin/bash
gconftool -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "`find /PATH/TO/YOUR/IMG/DIR | rl -c 1`"
Thanks to
