Terminator 0.4 is out. It's more of a bugfix release than the expected feature (per-terminal profiles). That is still some way off unless anyone feels like working up a patch? ;) As usual, please head over here for the goodness.
I use a docking station with my laptop. When it's in the dock it has a wired connection, otherwise it's just wireless. Since most of my work involves ssh and I tend to have several long running ssh sessions at a time, it's quite annoying if I quickly undock to …
Skype has been having network issues in the last few days. I don't like the fact that I've been using Skype, but I have. Why? Because it's the easiest way to talk to my girlfriend while she's away. That is, it's easy while it works. It has many downsides, but …
Terminator 0.3 is out, with the expected Terminal closing feature. This really makes the Splitting from 0.2 much more useful. As usual, please head over here for the goodness. NOTE: There is a bug preventing zsh users from using terminator. See the bug on Launchpad for full details …

How would you shrink the root file system of a remote machine? Of course the easy answer is to boot into a rescue environment and do it (because you can't shrink ext3 online). If you have a good KVM or ILO setup, you already have a rescue environment of sorts …
It's pretty much exactly a decade since I started using Linux, so it seems like a good time to look back at what I used to use before. Immediately prior to jumping into the FOSS world, I was using Windows 98, but I don't really want to talk about that …
I usually have at least 4 terminals visible on my screen at once. Each one is running screen(1), and each screen has probably at least 3 or 4 different things going on in it (usually sshing to servers). Once you are up to about a dozen or so shells …
