I firmly believe

That blog posts that begin as an extension of the post title make for quite an interesting read. Not surprisingly, I’m the only one who does this sort of a thing. I’ve done this quite often in the past, mostly in posts announcing one of my articles on Linux.com. For all the English teachers in [...]

Switching nicks during IM sessions

Here’s an interesting question: do you change your nick every time you step away from your desk, when logged into any IRC channel or any other IM protocol? I mean, what if you’re only going to take a leak and come right back? That shouldn’t take long. It’s not a complicated procedure. And what if [...]

Your Brain Usage Profile:

The horrors of staying up late

This post is not going to discuss my harrowing experience of staying up late one night. Rather, it’s about how staying up late frequently over a long period of time has affected my sleeping pattern.
The story starts some four years ago. I had just passed out from high school and started grad school. Staying up [...]

Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional

That’s the title of the latest Fedora title from Apress. It’s what kept me busy these past several months. To browse through the TOC of my book, visit the book’s page on Apress.com. You will find exciting deals on the book on Amazon.
It’s time now to thank the people who’ve contributed towards making this book [...]

Change is healthy

And not just for you or your pet. But also for your blog. Since all I do is make promises and claims — heartfelt things that I truly wish to do — I figured I should probably mention what I intend to do with the Temple of Wisdom.
For starters, LinuxLala.net now redirects to this blog. [...]

So what [...]
