firefox only?

Before Firefox was popular, we saw many websites only for internet explorer. Many linux users complained IE only features such as (evil) active X technology. Yesterday, I ran into one of our internal tools using google chrome. Page did not redirect as it should. Firefox, however, worked smoothly. Because it is not in my domain, I just tolerated.
Later, I had conversation with the developer, and he said that it doesn't work with Internet Explorer either! That website only works with Firefox.

I am not good at web stuff. But, that sounds so funny. This time, no complaint from me. IE in the past was not cross platform, but Firefox is. Although chrome is my main, Firefox runs on my desktop. So, I'm okay.

I love Fedora Core groupinstall

I just installed FC12 on my laptop. As usual, I used group install to set up my dev environment. This one shot command did save my keystrokes a lot. Just today, I feel so grateful to FC.

$ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Libraries" "Development Tools"

I love Fedora Core.

twitter and google wave

After I use twitter and google wave, I am getting lazier on my blog. I may not post often enough, but somehow I should prepare something worth to read on my blog. I feel guilty.

Fedora Core 12 is good

I was late to post this, but I like Fedora Core. And not surprisingly, FC12 did not disappoint me. Again, well thought-through OS.

GIT

I am getting to love git.
I followed someone's post (using Subversion as a main repository in Dropbox). It was a wonderful idea. It was useful. But, svnroot on Dropbox makes nature a little awkward by svn design. And, peeking GIT rougly, it fits much better in Dropbox. So, I decided to learn, and it works out well.

The primary motivation is 'Lock vs. No Lock'. So, for VC using Dropbox, I recommend git.

People who likes Twitter down.

Obviously, if twitter is down, This website will be very hot. I did the same thing :)

Bash, [C-xC-e] command editor

I found this accidentally and luckily. With predefined EDITOR env variable, C-xC-e will bring current command line into EDITOR. Regular expression based change can be applied.

I set up my EDITOR variable to 'emacs -q'.
