Like the others, I too find the layout and info overview is neat. Good use-case demo of real-time information scraping of the sale. Also, like a few others, the "Perl" in your title is very interesting for me. As a Perl old timer

I agree. At least it takes "one" of the things out of the equation.

+1 for mentioning them. I have used paternosters, and I don't consider these dangerous at all. Paternosters are G.R.E.A.T fun :) I am very aware that this type of response is anecdotal, and has a tendency to degenerate quickly into &q

I had mentioned that I do use orgmode, along with few others. But, my comment was further below yours, and was more of a "postscript". I definitely use it for most of my technical note taking, as it is part of my emacs workflow.

I came across it after I started using keepnote. Since I was already invested in the above three, I didn't bother too much with it. So, sorry that I am not too much of a help in this matter.

I like to store my data locally, so that influences the choice of my note taking software. I use cintanotes portable myself... http://portableapps.com/apps/office/cintanotes-portable It is not "opensource&quo

I agree with your point on the very clumsy SSH tack-on take up with this approach. About the older utilities, again, I completely agree. But, the way to create the mx3 bundles is easy. Actually, on the website/forums, several users the

Hmm, Have you looked at http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ before. I found this less of a hassle to install and work with, than cygwin.

by Surio 12y ago
This looks like an interesting project to keep an eye out for. On the topic of cygwin, I would also like to recommend mobaXterm, that I use instead of cygwin nowadays... It is an interesting choice in the alternatives we have. So, those of

This is so sad. This is the third time I hear of extremely gifted people that I know of, killed by road accident/hit and run. Growing up, I used to hear cassettes of Jon Higgins (musician) and was impressed at his dedication to his cra

This whole init vs systemd has been a very divisive (and ongoing) debate, and both sides feel very strongly on their particular stance. Just look up the pages that come up for a "init vs systemd" search on the net. From what I see

Yes, you've summarised my everyday thoughts rather well. This is something that is pretty predominant lately in my mind, and also the fact that my own parents' mortality is an impending one from this point onwards. These two thoug

I totally agree with the point you make. But, then again, maybe it's my bias showing. :) Having said that, I also read the parent's phrasing/remark more as an "observation" of ageism and similar social cut-off const

IIRC, Czechs (and Slovaks too, perhaps) have something called "svacina" which fits this definition of a second breakfast. There are other places in the world too that have this custom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I think what OP's referring to is forms of "targeted up-sell", where they could choose what kind of fishing poles to sell to you. Here, the deal might be a favourable one, but not for you (but for the sellers of course). Ther

Reading this article reminded me of the scenes from the film, Shawshank redemption. You know, where Brooks got released, but was institutionalised for so long that he couldn't cope with the outside world and commits suicide? And which

I like the choice of emotion: "relieving". It signifies some form of acceptance that "things spill over and nothing could be done about it".

I hazard a guess, that colonisation and western homogenisation has largely overwritten the local notion of time with the western model, amidst the vast majority of the population.

I chuckled aloud at that one, and (funnily enough) it rings true!
