Today I got a nice surprise when I got home, my Ubuntu 7.04 CDs requested from Canonical using the Shipit service where in the mail
Why does this deserve a post? because I like to measure the time things spend in the twiligth zone before arriving at my home from other countries (Like this post). This time I requested the CD’s on May 08, and arrived on May 30, so the envelope were 3 weeks in transit from the Europe to Mexico city.
Recently a trend about enabling web apps to be used offline started to emerge and a few companies announced their solutions: Dojo Offline Toolkit, Joyent Slingshot, Zimbra desktop and even Firefox 3.
Today Google released the beta of Google Gears. A browser plugin (700K) and API that enables developers to create web applications that can be used offline and provides 3 components to do this
The plugin is available for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Wow, I want to try this, the only concern is how to avoid a broken neck.
I found this meme in 120% Linux
Basically this is to see which commands are used most by Linux users
This is my top 10:
112 cd
96 ls
48 sudo
43 ssh
21 ping
16 scp
16 mkdir
13 nano
13 mongrel_rails
10 svn
The code to get this is:
history | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk ‘BEGIN {FS=”|”} {print $1}’ | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10
Just a couple of links I found interesting:
When to start a Start-up – Article comparing the age of the founders of different web companies when they started.
How to measure a blog network – In quantity of blogs or the quality of the blogs?
