Multiseat, Multiterminal, Green computer/computing

It is sad to me that my old compaq nx9030 has been sold :( but thanks to God now I have a new Toshiba a205-s5804. This baby is running with Debian sid amd64 kernel because his Dual Core T2330 processor supports EMT64.

Seems powerful right?, well, my wife used the old laptop until has been sold, and now we got "fighting" to use the new toshiba... then, in order to preserve my marriage and aid the hearth by saving energy cost, we decided to use it at the same time, how?


HOWTO Screencasting from console with sox and ffmpeg

I'm consternated with my Debian sid, I can't capture my screen with xvidcap or istanbul anymore, marvil told me that they work in Ubuntu, why not in Debian?

It was a pain the ass to research for a good an usable solution for me, because I have an old laptop CPU(Centrino 1.8Ghz), but 2 weeks later, here is the best solution I found at the moment. Sox is a "Swiss army knife of sound processing" with sound recording capabilities and ffmpeg is a "multimedia player, server and encoder" with screen capture capabilities.

Why I ported from Joomla to Drupal ?

Let me talk about the history(hehe)
I was webmaster of somesite.com from october 2006 to march 2007.
In January 2007, my new boss wanted to port current home made CMS to a solid platform.
My boss choice was Java, using JBoss(I still smile when remember). I've made research by 3 weeks...
Drupal was the winner, core+community comply at least 80% of full somesite.com functionalities,
the other missing had to be just 2 months of customization and integration of special funcionalities, then the theme and final testing.


Power-off button not working? ACPI-TOOLS found!

Oh! my Goodness, finally I found that package.

I was not able to turn off my laptop because acpi events handler was "miss-functional" since 3 months ago. Why?

Because the package was split in two: acpi and acpi-tools, and when I've updated my Debian sid, it does not cares about the new package. Solution:

apt-get install acpi-tools

I've you were victim of this error, please submit a comment with your impressions.

Blessings!
