I was observing the news about Windows 8 as of late. Here's my comment about it.

I played with the YouTube’s Cosmic Panda UI for a while. I am not happy about it.

I recently started writing Python code. And I love it.

What’s the most important non-kernel piece of software in UNIX-like OSes? The shell. A good shell.

Recently, Aza Raskin published a blog post about protecting your mail address with CSS. He uses some random CSS to make “randomness” look like “racmnFudZG9otbmmVnzcewsos” when you copy it. That’s nice, but I found a better way — the Kw’s Mail Hide Trick. See it for yourself, after the break.

Update: removed.

Recently, the HTML5 logo was published. As W3C states, [i]t stands strong and true, resilient and universal as the markup you write. [...] And it certainly doesn't use tables for layout. The logo’s site presents you with many information about HTML5, the new possibilities and the new logo. Due to that, I decided to make use of HTML5. Right now, the blog is using the HTML5 semantics and CSS3.

I’m using Linux since 2007. I’ve been on many distros (in order): Mandriva, Ubuntu, openSuSE, Fedora, and only in VirtualBox: Debian and Linux Mint. But since two months there is another distro in both lists (I tested it out on VirtualBox and then set it up on the actual machine): Arch Linux.

Two posts for the price of one, right after the break. What’s funny is, both are out of date, as this blog has went through Hyde and is currently powered by Nikola.
