Wow!

This is called freedom. **Bootsplash **has been a great eye-candy application in the Linux arena but now it’s time to say goodbye.

I just tried splashy and its a charm. The great thing is that it doesn ’t need a patched kernel. So newbies or people who don’t prefer to rollout their own kernel can use splashy and have a clean boot up.

I’m happy that a new release has been possible.

This new release is almost a complete re-write and has many fixes and features.

I had always had failures with Software Suspend 2 (swsusp2) on my laptop because of which I had a perception that it really wasn’t ready for use for beta users also. But recently after reading the comments of many users on LWN I felt how wrong I actuall was.

Anyways, setting up swsusp2 with root/swap on LVM is a little tricky. From my past experience I’ve felt that to be the major reason for me to not able to use this excellent feature.

Good Morning. Good Food. Good Place…….

Finally, I ended up with a change.

Abnormal Program Termination are not something just seen on Microsoft Windows. I hope most users will have seen some kind of program error in GNU/Linux and *BSD platforms also.

Abnormal Program Termination can happen for multiple reasons of which Programming Errors are one of the major reasons. Badly Carelessly written programs often end up having such bugs.

Here’s a sample C program which has generic programming errors because of which the compiler doesn’t catch it but the program does do unexpected behavior.

I always keep forgetting where the colon (;) key should be placed in a Bash endless loop so thought of jotting it down.

while true; do ls; done

It really is amazing to see no more spam coming to my blog. Kudos to the Pivot team who’ve done a great job integrating spam features into this great software. Also the spam cleanup utility (integrated into the application) is excellent. Thanks.
