Nvidia has some problems with non-root permissions in Ubuntu 9.04(Jaunty). My laptop is a Compaq Presario C700 and the permissions of the /dev/nvidia files cause some errors when processes are launched with non-root privileges on my 64-bit 9.04 desktop system.

But I found on UbuntuGeek.com a valid workaround.

First you need to edit /etc/rc.local file from your terminal

1

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Then add the following before “exit 0″:

1

chmod 666 /dev/nvidia* &

Save and exit the file. This is it. Short and efficient.

I just watched this preview of Google Wave and I must say that this is some ingenious product. It’s RSS, Email, IM and Social Networking sites all built into one system. Such a simple idea and yet nobody did put it in practice until now. Anyway if it catches not only among tech guys it will provide some confusion by simply redefining the email concept. This will enhance a lot the collaboration concept. I invite you to watch as much of this preview of Google Wave as you can, and tell me what you think of it.

I am continuing Part 1 (AeroShake) and Part 2 (Windows Management) of the Windows 7 tips with a few more:

By pressing the Win + SHIFT + Left or Win + SHIFT + Right key combinations you will move the active window between secondary screens. This is very useful especially when you forget a program like Yahoo Messenger on the TV screen.

One if the most important features that appeared with this version of Windows in my opinion is the Problem Steps Recorder. This program captures your mouse and keyboard and also makes screen shots of your desktop so you can later reproduce your steps exactly. You can also add comments to everything you do. After you stop the recording a zip archive with all the files  is automatically created. You can find it in the Control Panel or you can simply RUN -> psr.exe Read the rest of this article »

Cat lovers are going to love me for saying CATS RULE! Dog lovers not so much. Hey, I love them both but lets face it cats are much more independent. Its in our nature to be attracted to people that are self motivated, successful and that have a personality of their own. Why? Because these are some of the qualities that we look for in a person with which we want to prosper next to, build a family and home or even just spend an evening. Who needs someone next to them who constantly needs attention? If you ask me dogs are like that. You have to love them all the time, pay attention to their needs constantly and make them happy. Sure they are loyal and they love you and maybe even give their life up for you, but the fact that they are so attached to their owner makes them vulnerable and too sensible.

Today I am starting a series of tips and tricks that I bet not many of you knew about Windows 7. This is the upcoming edition of Windows formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna. It is planned to hit the market this summer, but as always the Release Candidates versions already leaked on the Internet. It offers backward compatibility so for the users of Windows Vista it’s not such a big change.

Part1: AeroShake

As I am sure not many of you knew about this, my first tip for today is the AeroShake feature. Let’s say you have a few windows opened on your desktop. Grab one and shake it a few times and you will notice that all other background windows are minimizing to the taskbar. Read the rest of this article to see a video of this feature in action.

Is it only me or is someone else encountering low revenues in the last months? I started this blog in May last year, and now after one year, when I analyze it, I find something disturbing. The most profitable month was September 2008, and since February my earnings dropped more than 80%, even though my rankings increased and I followed the same SEO policy. Maybe it’s only the crisis.
