- Opie – basically Linux for handhelds – looks interesting. Might try it out if I can budget enough spare time to reinstall WM6 after playing around with it. (0) #
Installing Foxit Reader 2.3 in Ubuntu via Wine
Just a few days after lamenting the lack of a good PDF reader application in Linux, I happened to check the Wine AppDB and saw that Foxit Reader was actually supported. And with the release of Foxit Reader 2.3, it was a good time to see if I could get it running on my Ubuntu [...]
Installing VMware Workstation 6.5 Beta on Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) + FAQs
Few things beat being able to use a top-class commercial product for free, and that’s exactly what we can do while VMWare Workstation 6.5 is in beta.

In a few hours, I’ll be off to the KL International Airport with my mom and bro via uber-Dad Transport Services. The flight’s at 7.30pm, but considering the high likelihood that we’ll be overweight, allocating some time to rearrange our luggage seems like a logical choice.
So, if nothing goes wrong, we’ll arrive at Heathrow Airport [...]
AOL Xdrive: 5GB Free Storage + Online Backup
For starters, let me state that I’ve been a pretty happy user of Box.net for file storage/sharing, and Mozy for online backup for the past few months or so. Despite that, I’ve been trying to find a hybrid file storage/backup service comparable in quality to the Box.net-Mozy combo. One also charging the irresistable price of [...]
