Owning your data
[Software] @ 01:45 PM

I take great pains to keep to minimum the amount of data that I share with people and systems I do not personally know and trust. Thus it tears my heart when I come across systems like del.icio.us and Tadalist that offer great functionality but work by having my personal data stored on their server. Luckly for me, great guys out there have made system with similar functionalities - Rubric and taskthis!. I have got them both installed and working on my server and it feels great to have control over your own data!



XScreensaver causing machine freeze?
[Software] @ 11:00 AM

While the network connectivity was disrupted here for better part of yesterday, I decided to cleanup some things on my machine and in the process wanted to change my screensaver. Unfortunately, I tried to choose "Engine" option and the machine froze. Rebooting and killing the daemon and then trying to change the option did not work either. If you happen to experience similar issue, the best option is to

rm -rf ~/.xscreensaver

and then set the option you want, making sure to avoid "Engine".
