Presenting squid-deb-proxy! Speed up your update downloads!
,----[ Quote ]
| Squid-deb-proxy is a new package for Ubuntu
| 10.04, and it's designed to make your life
| easier and allow faster updates if you
| manage more than one Ubuntu machine.
| Conceptually, squid-deb-proxy consists of
| two pieces, a client and a server. The
| server package is "squid-deb-proxy" and the
| client package is "squid-deb-proxy-client".
| The "squid-deb-proxy" server package is
| basically a squid caching server, with an
| out-of-the box configuration that allows it
| to cache .deb packages and make them
| accessible to the local area network. The
| "squid-deb-proxy-client" package is
| basically an include file to your standard
| apt configuration that makes apt aware of
| the squid-deb-proxy.

Redshift Keeps Your Eyes Sharp & Helps You Sleep [Linux]
,----[ Quote ]
| If you spend a lot of time looking at your
| computer â and if you read this blog Iâm
| betting you do â you might notice that after
| a while your eyes start to hurt, and that
| you have trouble going to sleep at night.
| Thereâs a good reason for this: your
| computer screen is essentially a lightbulb,
| and youâre looking straight into it for
| hours at a time.
|
| [...]
|
| Linux users, it seems, were left out of the
| fun: F.lux does not work on Linux. Thatâs
| where Redshift comes in. The program is
| currently in development, and currently
| requires the user to have no fear of the
| command line, but donât worry: itâs not too
| hard to use.

Four console document converters
,----[ Quote ]
| I have never gotten a resume in OpenOffice
| format, but when I do, I shall hire that
| person on the spot. Provided I can read
| their resume of course, and in that case
| Iâll probably rely on o3read. Iâve used
| o3read plenty of times in the past and it
| always pleases me to see it spin quickly
| through a document, spitting out the good
| stuff and tossing the bad stuff down
| /dev/null. Or wherever it goes.

Scenari â A powerful application to create and publish documents
,----[ Quote ]
| This application is most probably going to
| be of interest to people working in the
| education field, as I am, but not only.
|
| I discovered scenari when one of the
| developers came for a 3 days workshop at my
| university.
| I create resources and teach online and have
| been so far doing very poorly regarding
| online multimedia documents. Mainly out of
| ignorance and poor taste for multimedia
| techy stuff, I have given .pdf online and
| that was about it..
