Restart Properly

September 12th 2007

Sometimes, things still go wrong. Sometimes, CTRL + ALT + Backspace still doesn’t fix X and ALT + F keys don’t switch to the terminal. Sometimes, you just have to hit the reset button.

Next time your Linux system locks up because you did something silly try this method from FOSSwire instead. If it works (haven’t tried it yet) it’s a much nicer way to reboot your stuck system.

Learn Ruby on Rails

August 24th 2007

I’m very interested in Ruby on Rails. I’m planning/designing just in my head so far, an application for tracking pets (mainly reptiles) and want to use RoR to develop it. RoR is very new to me though, so I’m going through tutorials like Emril goes through spices. This one gets you off your feet. It’s a sample from a book, and if I had money I might buy the book, but I am poor and am going back to school, so I have to pay for that and buy textbooks and whatnot. sigh

Anyway here’s the tutorial from www.sitepoint.com

I think this video is for the 4.x series of MySQL but it’s still a good video. I didn’t get a chance to watch it all as I had to go to bed, but I’ll watch it all within the week.
