Since I installed monodevelop for a work project I was working on a few months back I have been stuck with this situation in which all text documents would start monodevelop as the default app when I clicked on them. Ea…

Checking application installation history on Android
I find them and then I lose them. I have tried out several applications on Google Play at various points. But I uninstall many of them because of random reasons. Just when I need some of the particular features in any o…

Take3: Secure and easy method of sharing files between linux and android
e:Paul's comments can sometimes act like insidious little nanoparticles that eat away at your trust of non-transparent pieces of software like only nanoparticles can. And if you didn't know already, the e:Paul-nanoparti…

Take 2: Sharing files between Linux desktop and Android device
This is an easier method than setting up own server and hoping that it would work well but as e:Paul pointed out in the comments, it's also somewhat non-transparent. Why do you need to go to an external site ez.dropper.…

Analyzing blame
For a LOOOOONG boot-up time. Seriously, I could put the kettle on and have it reach a boil, or be halfway on my way to my office by the time the login screen comes up. [quote] systemd-analyze blame 61002ms sm-client.ser…

Cobol Here I come
Based on conversations at e:pmt's New Years party, being a dinosaur with some vague 30 year old course work in Cobol makes me somewhat marketable if I brush up on my Cobol coding skills. Well, there is something called …

More fedora 16 freezes

Switching to Firefox on Fedora 16
