Unclose last tab in Firefox , edubuntu and "stuff"

the keyboard shortcut ctrl-shift-t will "undo" the last tab close in FireFox 2.0 - oops!

You wouldn't know this about me. But I am a keyboard shortcut junky.

thanks home dood...

So, I'm rebuilding my sisters horribly virus infected PC this weekend. It's already a decent machine, 2Ghz Intel, 512MB RAM, 60GB IDE HD, DVD-RW. I'm going to back up all her data onto a seperate HD with a 40GB "stuff" partition. And install a dual boot windows XP and edubuntu on the other half.

I wish Windows users would just INSIST on separate system and storage partitions on their personal computers. Windows is too unstable, and it's to much work to back-up and restore their data (7GB of pictures, music and office documents on my sisters home computer). For me, I just put in a second hard-drive, copied the "usual places" over and ran a few searches for misc jpg's and m4p's and the like... but most folks simply can not recover their data if it's on a system partition that has been deeply compromised by a Trojan. Unless they have a "stuff" partition.

Hello, Nikki

Tell everyone what it is you do...

Much like the reviewer, I was reluctant to let her go - but I had to sell her. Nikki I barely knew thee. =(

One thing I learned from the sale, you can easily erase all of your stored web passwords on your Nokia 770 by booting up xterm (http://770.fs-security.com/xterm/) and removing the hidden directory .opera in your home folder.

cd ~
rm -R .opera

Yeah it turns out the browser on this thing is good ol opera. I wonder if firefox has been ported. A PDA that I can tweak like a linux box - just heavenly.

But it's all good cause I got 8 more on the way.

Hacking the Nokia 770

I found a few of these bad boys for sale on the interwebz.
