Novell’s Get a Mac spoofs

We have seen many “Get a mac” spoofs and those were mostly done by people on youtube. But imagine Novell doing two such ads. Linux is a hot chick in these ads. Nice.

Quick roundup

Here is a quick roundup of interesting news during the blog downtime.

  • After I installed enlightenment, I bought a new NVidia FX 5200 and installed beryl on my ubuntu. It is really cool. After working in beryl it is difficult to work in a 2D desktop environment like metacity or windows. Will write a guide to installing beryl soon
  • Google’s Summer of Code is up and they are inviting projects from students. This time they plan to take about 800 students and the deadline for the applications is 24 march. As I was busy with my final year project, I still haven’t written the application. Got to go write it now.

Changed Hosts

Yet another change of hosts. The previous host was having some error with the ad code they inserted. This broke the admin page. After that I tried to change to many other hosts but some DNS problems made fslog to be down. Now I am back with a new (hopefully better) host.

If someone can provide reliable hosting for this blog, I will be very happy. If not, I have to switch to a better paid host after I join my job. Anyway I will soon come up with a post with all the things that happened during the downtime.
