After getting the Eee PC installed with openSUSE using the USB installation method (http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive), I'm now trying to use the Eee PC as what a 'normal' user would (versus a power user/developer). What I've found out in the short period of usage is that the application Inkscape, a vector drawing program, does not work quite well out of the box.
From the blog aggregator planetsuse.org, Garrett LeSage posted about using the Compose key to enter different typographical characters such as —, ®, ©, ², ¿, ¡, ÷ etc
Interested? Read his posting to see how it works.
By the way, the post is for Linux only. Enjoy.
This Bash command does the job pretty well...

So apparently Gmail knows I'm Chinese. Or so I think. In the past when I log out of Gmail, it will say "Please wait..." Recently, perhaps through some heavy-duty data mining, it told me to "请ç¨ç‰..." (Chinese for "please wait") instead. I thought that I had turned some settings in Firefox to display Web pages in Mandarin or I revealed through my emails that I'm Chinese - in which case that would be a serious case of privacy invasion, I think.
And all of a sudden, it now speaks to me in English again. I thought it was a mistake on Google's side. Turns out, it is! Another guy (Joe Shaw) who has entries in Planet SUSE's blog aggregator also has a similar problem. Well, mine is seemingly resolved now. Hopefully Joe's get resolved soon too.
Tip: If you are observant, you will see that when you try to login
to Gmail's site, the login page is SSL-secured. Once you log in
though, the page is not transmitted through SSL. If you want to
keep your connection SSL-secured, you have to login with this address
https://mail.google.com
instead of http://gmail.com
Basically if you specify right at the start that you want SSL connection, Gmail will keep that for you.
2014-06-24 update: In the process of moving my blog, the Chinese characters got corrupted due to improper encoding handling. I shall leave it as it is. Also it seems that the problem Joe Shaw had was of a different nature - he was complaining about spam which is something different.
If you are using Linux and are facing problem with Java applets running correctly on Firefox, AND you have googled to the ends of the earth but still can't solve the problem, check this post out. The solution in my scenario is remarkably simple.
While openSUSE is a great Linux distribution, I can't say the same for the mailing list's search function. For many weeks now, the only result that came back from the search is:
Sorry, the search is disabled! Come back later
Someone in the mailing list suggested that a workaround is to use Google's site specific search function. In the search box, prefix the search terms with the term:
site:lists.opensuse.org
For example, if I want to search for "usb boot support", I will type the following in the search box.
site:lists.opensuse.org usb boot support
Granted, it's not perfect, but it's a temporary workaround. shrug
This is one of the most amazing video of nature I have ever seen. Over the years I've watched countless nature documentaries, many of which are on the savanna with the lions, buffaloes, giraffes, and elephants roaming free. This video clip from YouTube below beats them all.
How many times have you wanted to change the page numbering for your document but didn't know how to? After 10 minutes of trying all options that you know, twice, to no avail? At the end of all that frustration and time wasting, you decide that, "Hey, maybe I didn't really need to change the page sequence. Nobody will notice. Much.."
Fret no more, here's help.
If you're confused with the many different types of creative commons licenses out there, here's a gem for you. Take a look at this pictorial show (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Sharing_Creative_Works). It explains in a near idiot-proof way what the differences between the creative commons licenses are. It's very easy reading, so take 5 minutes to boost your knowledge.
