rxvt with tabbing

Impressive! rxvt now comes with tabbing... lol but don't get confused with 'screen'. It's not a replacement. Might give you the same feature by seeing from your eyes but if you use 'screen' long enough, you will understand that it's not the same.

links2 / w3m

I have been looking for a good text based web browser for a while. Everything seems to go into the same route, elinks. I think it is the only text based browser that supports JavaScript and also display the color of websites. But its key bindings does not match my lifestyle. I still use w3m. Mostly because its keybindings are vi-friendly.

blogger.com does not support text based web browser

Woo hoo!! I have just installed grml_2009.05 a dream linux distro! But hey wait... I have just realsized that I can't use blogger.com from my w3m - my favourite text based web browser. Ughhh I am publishig blog via firefox. Firefox? WTF! I hate firefox. It is just a real bastard who was born to eat RAM. Right now, my Firefox with 8 tabs consumes 230MB of RAM. Grr... there is not much choice... The web geeks just can't stop adding more stuff into the www. Needless to say, it's because of Google - who brought ajax to the interest of the world. Ugh...

autocompletion for sqlplus

Looking for an autocompletion and probably command history for sqlplus? sqlplus is a text based Oracle client though it lacks of some minimum required feature like autocompletion and command history. But there is always a workaround. "rlwrap", a unix tool. It can add to any text tool programs the ability to have autocompletion and command history.

how to make your nokia symbian smart phone to be a wifi hotspot

That's pretty easy, dudes. You can just use *JoikuSpot*! Search this on Google! They have both light version which is free and premium version which is better. There is one pitfall. JoikuSpot will just drain your battery pretty fast. Well, if you just have a charger with you!

personal diary for symbian

Currently, there is no working personal diary application for symbian yet. The closest one I found is Life Remark. However, it contains some significant bugs, difficult to backup, limitation on the number of characters for each daily page.

Mail for Exchange stops working when there are too many emails in the inbox

Today my Mail for Exchange 2.7 (symbian) just stopped working. When I started the synchronization, it just showed error. I noticed that my inbox contained around 420 emails. I then went to the web interface of my Exchange provider and moved all the emails in my inbox into my archived folder and then everything just works! This maybe a limitation of Mail for Exchange 2.7!
