SolarNetOne: Solar-powered networking for anyone

SolarNetOne: Solar-powered networking for anyone

In many parts of the world, the power grid is shoddy, computers are scarce, and connectivity is even rarer. Thus, as with many other modern practices and technologies, populations are increasingly bifurcated into the "computing haves" and the "computing have-nots." But many are addressing the divide. SolarNetOne is a turnkey Internet hotspot—power, computers, and satellite uplink—you can install virtually anywhere, for less than the cost of a subcompact car.

Access Windows NTFS Partition from Xubuntu 9.04

---

Install ntfs-config

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

or:
use Add/Remove ...

then start it:

sudo ntfs-config

or:
Go to Applications -> System ->NTFS Configuration Tool

Tick the appropriate boxes and restart.

Use Gigolo to Access Remote Filesystem

Open resources in Thunar on Xfce 4.4 and 4.6

Start Gigolo by going to Xubuntu's menu Application -> System -> Remote Filesyste.

By default, Gigolo uses gvfs-open to open the connected remote resources. On some systems this will either result in an error or open the wrong file manager because gvfs-open uses the mime types to determine which application it should launch and those mime types are often not configured properly.

First, you need to install the gvfs-fuse backend for GVFS and fuse-utils so that GVfs mounts the remote resources in ~/.gvfs. Make sure that your user is in the fuse group or this will not work. The easiest way to do add your user to the fuse group is to run the following command as root:

sudo aptitude install gvfs-fuse fuse-utils
sudo gpasswd -a username fuse

Obviously, you should replace username by your actual used username.

Then, you may need to add the following lines to your ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list so that Thunar is used to open folders by gvfs-open:

x-directory/gnome-default-handler=Thunar.desktop
inode/directory=Thunar.desktop
x-directory/normal=Thunar.desktop

Note: It may be necessary to relaunch your session after those modifications especially when you added your user to the fuse group.

Install Xubuntu 9.04 on NEC VERSA S800 with Trident Video Card

[ubuntu] HOWTO: Get proper video resolution with trident video card and Ubuntu 8.04 - Page 5 - Ubuntu Forums

After installation, everything seems fine except the display, can't get the max resolution 1024x768 and there is a large black border around the edge. To fix this problem I edited the config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Here's my currently up-to-date xorg.conf file:

Google Posted its Own List of Performance Best Practices

Google issues call to make the Web faster

By Jeff Caruso

June 24, 2009 12:58 PM ET

Network World - Google Inc. called on the Web development community to improve the speed of Web pages, posted its own list of performance best practices, and declared that protocols such as TCP/IP and HTML need to be updated or even replaced.

Google's official blog said that protocols such as HTML and TCP/IP were created "when broadband and rich interactive web apps were in their infancy."

In the past 20 years, Google notes, networks have become much faster, more able to handle heavy-duty Web applications and video, and in the past 10 years, JavaScript speed has improved a hundredfold.

For an example of the performance enhancements it has in mind, Google pointed to the recently proposed HTML 5, which has been heralded as a potential game-changer in Web application development. Some HTML 5 features have shown up in browsers, but it could take years to fully implement.

In a video, Google Performance Evangelist Steve Souders said, "If we could come up with changes, enhancements or even alternatives to TCP/IP or HTTP, that might have a significant impact."

Google acknowledged that, while it is a major player on the Internet, it cannot implement changes on its own, and expressed that it would continue to work through standards bodies.

At the same time, Google advocated that Web sites take smaller steps to improve performance today. The company laid out its best practices for Web developers at a new site, as well as a Google Group to open the discussion to the community.
