I just found out how to resize the gnome-do docky:

  1. right click on the gnome-do icon in docky and activate either the trash or the clock
    that's the only way i found to get a divider into docky
  2. hover over the upper border of docky (directly above the divider) and you'll get the up/down arrow shown
  3. click and drag up/down to resize docky
that's it ... long search but trivial solution ;)

I was waiting for this feature for a long time. Especially if you are searching for linux related topics, it's usefull to restrain the results.

Google's web search toolbelt has been updated and it now includes an option that lets you find web pages from a user-defined period of time. After performing a search, click on "Show options", select "Custom date range" and enter at least one of the two dates.

recently i found a really nice site to download virtual appliances.

Turnkey Linux is an open source project that's developing a family of free, Ubuntu-based software appliances which are optimized for ease of use in server-type usage scenarios and can be deployed in just a few minutes on bare metal, a virtual machine and in the cloud.


here are some of the supported appliances:

unfortunately there is no TikiWiki Appliance, maybe i will put it together ...

I just found this freeware for my htc touch diamond:
Call Firewall 1.4

i will give it a try and report if it's working as expected.

Here is a list of the features:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.

updated features:
1. Added option to reject unknown / private / withheld nos
2. Option to Add Accepted calls as calendar appointment
3. Option to Add Rejected calls as calendar appointment
4. Toggle Option to show 'CallFirewall' in 'running programs' / Task Managers
5. Save User Settings so that it remains intact upon restart.
6. Completely revamped UI to accomodate new options

Yesterday i tried to boot my dell d505 from a external usb cd rom. unfortunatelly the bios change didn't take effect.

If you have the same problem - here is the clue:

Try to remove the internal cd/dvd drive from your laptop and boot it up with the external drive. That could fix the problem.

have a nice day

i just tried to install ubuntu on a usb-hdd on my compaq 8510p. Everything seemed to work properly except i got the error:

Grub Error 17: Cannot Mount Selected Partition
the solution was pretty simple:
i switched to edit mode in the boot menue (select a boot-option from the list and press 'e')
then i tried to change the entry root (hd1,0)
changing to hd0,0 worked as expected

to make the whole step permanent i searched in /boot/grub/ for 'hd1,0' and found menu.lst

there i changed the entries for the main- and the compatibility- boot option to 'hd0,0' and restarted the computer

result: works as expected *hurray*

After some days of trying i just found the solution to use my HTC Diamond within Ubuntu.

My Problem was, that the internetconnection was quite slow when i was connected through ICS (internet connection sharing) ... the solution is very simple:

just open your terminal after the ics connection is established and type:
sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1392

(probably you have to change eth1 to eth0 or eth2 or wherever your device is mounted)

have fun!
