Before anything else

Building Linux from vacuum is a very hard, dangerous and satisfactory process. Four things can happen to you:

1) You end up accidentally deleting data from your hard disk

2) You end up with a useless pile of non-working binaries and source code sitting in your disk

3) You give up and call mom

4) And on very rare cases you end up with a barely working spartan linux setup to show to your friends that you won that war

It is up to you to make sure only step 4 happens. It will only depend on whats inside your skull.

In simple 3 steps:

1) Type these commands in Terminal:

sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0C713DA6

sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/firefox-3.5  /usr/bin/firefox

2) Firefox is now much faster and have a Private Browsing mode (aka Porn Mode)

3) Have fun!

I just created Propero CMS project @ launchpad. Very excited about sharing my master piece with the world.

Still there’s no documentation or download available. Please be patient. A great piece of software is comming.

Any kid can hack Vista/7 and make it shutdown with 30 lines of python code.

I just tested this in a stock Ubuntu 9.04 installation targetting my girl’s poor Windows 7 machine and it was total anihilation: Read more…

I wanted to do an overall revamp of my online presence for a long time. What I’ve done:

• Updated WordPress to latest version and changed theme to a heavily modified version of Chrome Theme.
• Created a front-page on brunocassol.com with basic information about me.
• Started Propero.org – Simple CMS I’m writing for PHP5.
• Started ZenBuntu.com – Blog about Ubuntu and my experiences with it. Includes tips, how-tos and news.
• Transfered all my domains from Yahoo SmallBusiness to GoDaddy. ZenBuntu.com will complete its transfer in 60 days from now. The reason is simple: Yahoo advertises domains for ~$12 but their renewal costs ~$30. That’s very very out of the market medium prices and yahoo offers nothing special (often less features) for that. Yahoo made lots of people mad with this.

More updates comming.

Sometimes we feel this way: alone with a whole world to explore. But we are never alone and this world is temporary.

(10:33:23 PM) carebox:

(10:37:56 PM) Bruno Cassol:
yes.
(10:38:03 PM) Bruno Cassol:
after i ifnish reading it.
(10:38:15 PM) Bruno Cassol:
for a small fee of $10 of course.
(10:39:18 PM) carebox:
that is not open source
(10:42:04 PM) Bruno Cassol:
Of course it is. The text is open for you to read. But summarization of it is a service I provide for $10 bucks. Welcome to open source business, where you sell the service, not the product.

We can learn anything but not everything.

Focus.

The more you define your objectives, the better you will achieve them. Keep focused.
