Linux unfriendly devices

Posted by kleanchap @ 10:58 PM, Tuesday Aug 24th, 2010

 

My experience with these system and Linux has been horrible. If you have plenty of time on your hand then use them. If you want to save time then avoid them.

  • Sony VAIO computers
  • Broadcom Wireless Network devices.

How can Love be expressed?

Posted by kleanchap @ 1:47 PM, Sunday Jun 6th, 2010

If I know what love is, it is because of you. – Herman Hesse

How can love be expressed?  All emotions can be expressed in work and art.  Then how do you express it to people?  Especially love?!

Life’s little question with no answer.

Speak Up

Posted by kleanchap @ 12:29 PM, Thursday May 27th, 2010

I picked up this poem somewhere on the Internet which I think says a lot about silence.

______________________________________________________________________________________

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews, I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out

Yahoo Mail Filters broken for 3rd week now (May 2010)

Posted by kleanchap @ 11:05 PM, Monday May 24th, 2010

I do have a Yahoo Mail Plus account which I really liked until 3 weeks ago.  The problem here is the spam filters/disposable mail filters are broken.  None of them are working.  All the email goes into the Inbox.  There is no one to call or open up a trouble ticket.  The help URLs go into an endless loop causing more frustration.

How can I file a complaint against such poor support for a paid service?

Deleting duplicate files on Linux

Posted by kleanchap @ 10:18 AM, Saturday Oct 3rd, 2009

I have found a fantastic script by Jarno Elonen to delete duplicate files on Linux.  This is very, very helpful to delete duplicate emails in Maildir format, apart from other normal files.

Here is the link to the site:

In case the website is not accessible, leave me a comment and I will send you the script.

Enjoy!
