• Linux rant & Tmux

    Posted on Jan 22, 2015

    penguin-161387_640Most people that are involved with tech (managers, bloggers, etc) have heard of Linux, and are pretty familiar with it (unlike a decade ago when it was programmers only).
    We can see it in every server these days, but more importantly - Android is based on Linux, and those Smartphones have the majority of the market share.
    So, is Linux ready for mainstream usage? I'm talking about Laptops & Computers who run Linux for personal use, is it time?

    In the past 10 years (or so), I've been taking old

  • Combine Window commands on Gnome

    Posted on Sep 10, 2010
    Today I've successfully made a command that with a push of a button simulates the Win+Left (or Right) on windows. Just to clarify, we are talking about Gnome->Metacity. Essentially it moves the window to the side you choose and makes it as big as half the screen, very convenient for working on 2 …
