Beginners are mostly afraid of command prompt.  Whenever they see a command prompt, they immediately say “its very difficult”.  But it’s not true.  The Command prompt is as friendly as GUI (Graphical User Interface), provided if you use it with proper procedure. Most people use GUI tools to search for files.  They don’t realize that they can use command line tools to search for them as well! GNU ‘find’ is such like a tool which can not only search files but can even copy, move or delete these files on the fly

Remember these past few months where Ubuntu/Canonical’s contribution to Gnome (or lack thereof) was called into question and the topic was on the tip of every Linux news website tongue (see closing thoughts for info links)?  Let’s throw some gasoline on that fire for your Friday!!  It’s time for a Barbecue! Today, Mark Shuttleworth’s blog was added into Planet Gnome after he made a request for it to be added.  Why is this a controversy?  Mainly because some people want blogs that are featured on Planet Gnome to be from authors that are active in the Gnome community and to actually blog about Gnome as a topic.  If Canonical’s contributions to Gnome are being called into question (as evident from the links in closing thoughts below) then what results is a controversial decision for Mark’s blog to be added in. If you read the comments on the buglist issue , you will see that there are quite a few people in opposition to this move.  According to the Planet Gnome FAQ , there are criteria for being added.  Does Mark’s blog fit the criteria?  A close examination will result in a resounding NO. Examining the Evidence The evidence?  Mark has only one, single post on the topic of Gnome on his entire blog .  Is it recent?  If 2008 is recent, then yes, it’s recent.  If that’s not recent enough for you then no, it fails horribly on being recent

Many Linux users use the ‘find’ utility when searching for files using the command line on their system. They’ll do a simple: find / -name ‘pattern’ Really though, the power of find isn’t just in finding names of files but rather specific details about those files. For example, if you wanted to find files which are writable by both their owner and their group: find / -perm -444 -perm /222 ! -perm /111 or perhaps find any file that’s been altered in your Download directory in the past 24 hours: find /home/user/Downloads/ -mtime 0 As you can see, the find command is very versatile and can be used to find an array of different attributes of files.  There are times though where I’m just looking for something and I don’t want to have to wait for the command to scan the entire directory tree in order to track it down.  That’s where locate comes in with quick and simple results

Part of my new role will be looking at where the future of technology lies – which means I’ll work more closely with our MSR and Labs teams and help showcase some of their work. Groovy. One of the areas I will focus on is hardware advances and what they mean for the future so this caught my eye

Interesting take on the possible move by Oracle to gain a real stake in the virtualization space. http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/server-virtualization/oracle-citrix-acquisition-hits-the-rumor-mill/ Definitely worth a read.

Hallo Freunde, bevor der weihnachtliche Wahnsinn um sich greift, habe ich noch eine kleine Überraschung für Euch: Damit Euch in den kommenden Tagen nach all dem guten Essen nicht langweilig wird, haben wir gemeinsam mit Sascha Wolter einige brandneue Lernvideos zu Expression und Silverlight online gestellt.

[Windows 7 Application Compatibility episode 2]  I met customers saying that their pop up window got wider and taller after installing IE7 or IE8. Yes, as for getting taller (larger in height), IE7′s window height accounts for the content area only, not including the frame. This can cause the window size changes.  And IE7 also introduced minimum window sizes contraints

Here’s the source to the BrowserFlow sample I showed at PDC 2009 .  This sample requires the Silverlight 4 Beta which you can find here .   The sample uses the combination of the WebBrowser Control and HTMLBrush to display an interactive Ad that also plays well with the Silverlight animation system.  Click the image below to run the sample (note that it needs to be installed to run).         The demo shows the following new Silverlight 4 features:   ·          WebBrowser Control ·          HTMLBrush

This is the single most popular question I get from customers these days; keep in mind much of my job is about the web. Remember just a few years ago the sacrifice tree decision tree for an application was whether it would be a Web app or a Desktop app? There was much we had to sacrifice for the Web, usually a great user interface, fidelity, etc…..everything that becomes a great user experience
