The Current State of my Linux Desktop
\n I am currently using a mixed Ubuntu/Debian system. I have always liked the apt system, and Debian has been the distro that I have used the most, but I’ve always had two major beefs with them. …

Netbeans Beta (with SFTP Support)
\n I downloaded the latest trunk release of Netbeans the other day. I really wanted to test out the SFTP support. I was not disappointed. I loaded a project that I was working on at the moment. I needed to upload the entire site one time. This was a bit painful, but after the initial upload, it automatically uploaded the files that had changed. It was great. It took nothing more than a single button too!! …

I mixed up a pair of booleans and code that should have made one set of seven tables, made thoose seven table over 1000 times!! My mySql GUI tools were not upto the challenge.

Wordpress 2.7
\n I just downloaded the nightly of Wordpress 2.7 and I installed it on my server. I am loving it. The new dashboard layout it absolutely killer. It is very easy to navigate and the gui in easily understandable. The old Dashboard was fine, but this is so much better. I haven’t come across any bugs that relate to the way I do things either. …

Back to Gentoo
\n So I bought a new laptop the other day. It’s a Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7825. It has an AMD Turion X2 64bit processor and an ATI-Radeon Graphics card. It’s pretty sweet. I’ve gone back and forth on the various distros and I have finally settled on Gentoo. I don’t like the politics at Debian and Ubuntu, and SuSE is a bit bloated for my needs. Gentoo is great…and I’ve always loved Portage the best of all the systems. I’m using a Itallian flavor of Gentoo called Sabayon. I like that it’s live installer works better than any other that I’ve used..but it also gives you the flexibility of a Gentoo install. The install took less than an hour and everything works out of the box with the exception of the wireless….but when has that ever worked right out of the box :) Sabayon has an interesting system called Entropy that allows for binary installs on Gentoo…seems to work pretty well. I’ve got most of my plugins and also Songbird installed. Everything else seems great so far!! …

Mozilla Coolness!
\n Yesterday I got an invitation to a friends daugthter’s 1st birthday. Gmail, gives me a link to google maps to find the location (no…don’t need a map) but there is no link to calendar. You would think that gmail would give me such a link. Well, here is a great time to test out the Mozilla Labs plugin Ubiquity!!! I select the date and description of the event, right click and under the Ubiquity menu I click Add to Calendar. When I loaded my GCal….there is was! Perfect! A great Mozilla plugin!! …
