Disk Usage Analyzer

I love the Disk Usage Analyzer in Linux because it’s functional and a freaking awesome piece of digital artwork.

It displays your hard-drive contents in an interactive manner. As you click on different squares, the program tells you the folder name, location and size.  pretty cool.

Upgrading your Wordpress blog to the latest version is a breeze with Fantastico.

For those of you who may not know, Fantastico is a software package that allows you to install many other free software packages to your hosting account, like Wordpress for example.

By the way, I provide Fantastico for FREE to all my web hosting clients.

The one-click installation script does the following for you:

Upgrading…

  • Initializing Parameters – Done.
  • Generating MySQL Backup – Done.
  • Generating Files Backup – Done.
  • Copying New Files – Done.

In addition:

  • It backs up your database
  • It empties the database
  • It imports the backed data into the database
  • It moves the template data back to your public_html folder

Upgrade completed

I love it!


upgrading to ubuntu 8.10

Today, I’m upgrading my computers to Ubuntu 8.10

If you already have Ubuntu installed on your computer, it’s very easy to upgrade to the latest version.  Just open a terminal window and type:

sudo do-release-upgrade

Ubuntu 8.10

If you are using another Operating System and want to try Ubuntu, you can download the latest version for free.

Enjoy!

I woke up this morning to stand in line at the local Tmobile store to get my Android phone.  I was the 17th person in line!
