Journals RSS FeedsYou Need A Budget - This time of year is often rough on finances, and although there are many money-management tools available for Linux, none are quite like You Need A Budget, or YNAB for short. Unlike traditional budgeting programs, YNAB focuses on a few simple rules to help you get out of debt and, more important, to see where your money is going. more>> ...Feed Source: feedproxy.google.com The Linux powered LAN Gaming House -

His LAN gaming house is a fascinating project, and best of all, Linux plays a part in ma... Creating a vDSO: the Colonel's Other Chicken -
A vDSO (virtual dynamic shared object) is an alternative to the
somewhat cycle-expensive system call interface that the GNU/Linux kernel
provides. But, before I explain how to cook up your own vDSO, in this brief jaunt down
operating system lane, I cover some basics of vDSOs, what they are and why
they are useful.... Your CMS Is Not Your Web Site -
A content management system is a centralized repository for your content. A Web site is a composite of decentralized fragments that are assembled on the edge, in just-in-time fashion as the content is being delivered to users. If it's not a Web site, what does a CMS do? more>>

... Razor-qt 0.4 - Qt based Desktop Environment -
Razor-qt is a new desktop environment based on the QT toolkit. I installed it from the PPA and gave it a quick go. It?s early days for the project, but it might eventually become a refuge for lovers of KDE 3 in the same way that Xfce has become popular with people who want to recreate the Gnome 2.x experience.... Using Plop Boot Manager for USB Boot -
Portability is a huge advantage that Linux enjoys over most other desktop operating systems as most major distros work very well when installed to a flash drive. However, there are still machines in service that just won't play ball when it comes to USB booting. Fortunately, I found a nice little utility that can work around this problem.... Moose -
Perl has been around for more than 20 years. During that time, it has received
its share of both praise and criticism, and lots of
misconceptions surround it. Much of this stems from long-outdated
notions of what Perl used to be, but have nothing to do with what Perl
actually is today.

... Basic Chemistry on the GNOME Desktop -
I've realized I've missed out on a huge area of computational
science—chemistry. Many packages exist for doing chemistry
on your desktop. This article looks at a general tool called
avogadro. It can do computations of energy and gradient values.

do analysis of molecular systems, interface to GAMESS and import and
export from and to several file formats.... Black Wednesday -

... Can we help AT&T solve its mobile data problem? -
I'm in midtown Manhattan, connected to the Net over my hotel's slow but costly wi-fi connection. Normally when I'm traveling ? at least here in the U.S. ? I avoid lame hotel connections by using AT&T's cellular data system, usually through my iPhone's "personal hotspot." more>>

... gStrings in Your Pocket -
What may sound like a perverse concept is actually one of the many ways
smartphones can change your life. If you play a musical instrument
but don't happen to have perfect pitch (most of us, sadly), you can buy
a tuner, pitch pipe, tuning fork or any number of other aids to
keep yourself in tune. If you have a smartphone in your pocket, however,
you also can simply download gStrings.... Short Notices: News In Linux Audio -
