			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I believe my quest for the perfect GUI file manager in Linux has been fulfilled after I stumbled across a file manager named <a href="http://thunar.xfce.org/index.html">Thunar</a> while playing with XFCE on my Ubuntu laptop. My most missed feature from browsing Windows file systems has been the &#8220;List&#8221; view. It&#8217;s is, very simply, columns of file names, with nothing else. The main file browsers of Gnome and KDE, Nautlius and Konqueror, suprisingly cannot do this, and while they come close with a lot of customization, they do not mimic Windows Explorer perfectly. Nautilus like to wrap really long file name, or only do one file per line, and Konqueror likes to add &#8220;&#8230;&#8221; to the end of long filenames, which makes it less than useful.</p>
<p>Thunar does both these things, and does this very quickly. Here&#8217;s a pic of what I&#8217;m so excited about (right click and hit &#8220;view image&#8221; to see the full sized pic):</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lifehacker has a <a href="http://www.lifehacker.com/software/command-line/roll-your-own-servers-with-netcat-202271.php">primer on Netcat</a>, one useful utility which I don&#8217;t use nearly enough. Most stuff shown can be done with SSH, nmap, and telnet, but the author makes the point that netcat is on everything. So if you&#8217;re ever stuck without SSH, Netcat will be there. And if you haven&#8217;t setup passwordless logins for SSH yet, it&#8217;ll be quicker for many tasks than having to transfer keys around beforehand.<a href="http://www.lifehacker.com/software/command-line/roll-your-own-servers-with-netcat-202271.php"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/">WP-Cache 2.0</a> showed up on Digg today and with promises of speedy WordPress deliveries. Being the persistant software tester I am, I installed it onto this blog and immediatly saw the page load times at the bottom of the page get cut in half. I then installed it on LiveCDNews.com in hopes of speeding up that site in case of being Dugg again. Of course, having Apache configured to allow more than 150 people at a time on the site will help too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Peter Write, the author of a bunch of <a title="Amazon Search" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_5/102-6648151-9371337?ie=UTF8&#038;sort=%2Bsalesrank&#038;rh=n%3A1000%2Cp%5F45%3A0%2Cp%5F46%3Abefore%2Cp%5F47%3A2009%2Cp%5F55%3APeter%20Wright%2Cn%3A5&#038;page=1">visual basic books</a>, wrote <a href="http://peterwright.blogspot.com/2006/09/good-bye-microsoft-pete-has-now-left.html">in his blog</a> about his reasons for completely ditching MS software and moving to OS X and Ruby on Rails.</p>
<blockquote><p>Over and over I&#8217;d be lambasted for being too passionate (a condition muppets refer to as arrogance). Time and again I&#8217;d find myself explaining basics of programming to people that should know better, people with years of experience under their belts, people that really didn&#8217;t care.</p></blockquote>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing more frustrating than having to waste time explaining basic concepts of your job to a coworker in the same position as yourself. It seems that this is acceptable in the IT, but I can&#8217;t imagine it passing in any other field. Working as tech support for 4 years at UCSB&#8217;s public computer repair facility introduced me to many techs who didn&#8217;t know how to open a computer, what a PCI card was, or that there was any way to fix a computer besides reinstalling Windows. The knowledgable techs were few and far between, and I&#8217;ve yet to work with one who had passion for MS software.</p>
