I thought about creating something very similar for years but never began actually working on it. Chances are, many people were thinking about building such a platform during the last couple of years. It is weird reading about my "own" idea

To log bits of information quickly I added this to my .bashrc: log(){ date >> ~/log/$* ; cat >> ~/log/$* ; } I try to keep it simple but I keep several files. There is one for general ideas which is called "projects", anothe

The scary part wasn't necessary to experience something wonderful. I am producing electronic music myself. These days, where the internet is mainstream I don't dare posting anything online. About 9 years ago, things were different. I was

My first thought after reading his post was not that he was successful "even though" but "because" he had no computer. It forced him to learn more efficiently when he sat in front of one. If you have access to a computer 24 hours a day you

On a related note: It always saddens me when news programs on TV use footage from youtube and don't mention the author but youtube as source.

This is not the end! I regard it as the worst update myself. But that doesn't matter. We have to learn, that other peoples needs are quite different. My suggestion/demand would be this: Please implement a "God Mode" where us freaks can twea

I experience this problem on a daily basis, too. A few days ago I decided to set up another user account on Ubuntu. That one, I use from 9 to 5. On this account only work related programs can be used (but no e-mail client!). What's more, I
