Colored Man Pages

You certainly know that manpages tend to be very long and boring to read , especially without any colors at all.

You can easily get colored manpages with just one copy&paste into your .bashrc!

Follow this link to Linuxtidbits' post about "Less Colors For Manpages" and you'll know how to make it happen!

Electro Collection #1 - An electro-flow of music

speaker

Here's a collection of electro/electronica songs (as mp3) I like and that are free and libre. I'll just call this collection "Electro Collection #1"!

I've picked these songs because they each contain a unique melody and they are easy to listen even for those who might think they don't like electro music. Really, listen to the first three songs (though you should listen to them all) and see! I'm sure you'll find one that you like!
They almost all have the same genres. Mostly, it is: Electro/Electronica, Dance, Experimental.

If I had to pick favorite ones among these, they would be (as unsorted list):
02 - Jolie Micro Girl
04 - Struttin
05 - dub is dumb
06 - Chips dreams
11 - The sun is coming
13 - Plume
14 - don't be shad
17 - Pour toi

Note that this is not an album. Each song in this collection has its own copyright, copyright holder(s), and license. The songs are in their entirety in unmodified form and are seperate and independent works in themselves. See below for copyrights/licenses.

[Ubuntu] Byobu: a very useful enhancement for GNU Screen

I'm now using Byobu (earlier known as screen-profiles, but changed to Byobu) everytime I ssh into one of my servers:

[local]$ ssh myserver
Last login: Thu Aug 13 11:03:58 2009 from ...
[remote]$ byobu -R

byobu1

Byobu can be seen as a replacement for the "screen" command, though it is not really a replacement; It should be seen much like an addon or a plugin. It can also be used locally without ssh (I just find it useful with ssh). It shows very useful information (about the computer where screen/byobu is running) and acts just like screen, same commands (though it adds some more keybindings). See screenshot above.
