Shantanu's Technophilic Musings: "Have you ever had to reinstall your ubuntu installation, and then bear the pain of manually installing the applications you've come to love (i mean use :)) everyday?

If yes, then cheer up buddy, because all you really need is some magic (read scripting), some typing and spend some time digging the package names of your favourite applications."

Shantanu's Technophilic Musings "Light on Resources: I must say that Linux is what still keeps my more than 3 years old laptop running in a prim condition with the latest and greatest of everything from technology stand-point as well as eye-candy stuff."

Shantanu's Technophilic Musings: " I have an old noname cheapo webcam, that I dusted out of my junk (why? More on that in a post coming soon).

I hoped that it would work in my Ubuntu setup out of the box like most of my other hardware."

Shantanu's Technophilic Musings: "Worried about someone breaking into your house in your absence? Or just need to keep a tab on who enters your room while you are away?

Well, all you need is a webcam, a linux PC/laptop and a twitter account."

Shantanu's Technophilic Musings: "Everywhere you go, any building you enter, any OS you operate, any settings window you open, one rule remains set in stone, "THE ESCAPE DOOR".

Always give an exit path, a way to make it all go away, make it look like nothing happened. But Gnome seems to think otherwise."
