ZenWalk, Slackware Based Operating System

Installation

The first thing I notices when booting up was it’s not a linux live CD, considering I’m used to installing Kubuntu it’s a change from having to wait and I love it no need to wait around booting up a Linux distrobution from your possibly slow CD drive, you just get a simple installation screen, you might say its a bad thing as you don’t get the option to chat on ‘AIM’ or play your games while your installing. It would be nice to see Ubuntu to have the option to install straight off the CD but I can’t see it happening anytime soon unfortunately but its a great way to give people a simple demo before they install the OS.

POTW: Ultra VNC

Here I believe I’m targeting this article at the more advanced computer users, you may of heard of VNC before it stands for Virtual Network Computing in simple terms its basically a remote access client such as windows remote assistand from a personal point of view if I want to help someone with a problem using remote assistand is hell to work with.

So using a client like Ultra VNC or even Tight VNC it really makes life simple, for example a while back a community member of UVNC developed a great mod which is basicall a one click VNC server, so you can send a exe to your friend thats having computer trouble he runs it and pop you get screen showing their desktop brilliant right, saves you a lot trouble, and its a great way to avoid security issues with windows remote desktop, you will find these applications are much more secure as its not running constantly its a one off thing they open it and you close it.

Plusmo is scraping my content!

This week I’m ticked off I have been checking my stats to see how well my website is doing, and I came across plusmo they offer a service to alert your cell phone about RSS updates, okay this service is a good idea but the part that just gets me really wound up is they use your content to promote their website instead of giving your keywords by using your title as a link back they have a stupid little read more link.

But if you don’t want them to scrape your content you have to write a 10 page essay on why it is your site and tonnes of proof, I’m sorry but I shouldn’t have to do this for some dumb ass company stealing my content for their one use.

They could at least be nice and not allow any search engines to visit their site but no, instead of that they use it to their advantage okay maybe I’m being hard on them they do only use a limited amount of words!

About Sleek
——-
Sleek is a relatively new theme produced by Markie Designs, the idea is to make it easier for newcomers to WordPress to control their blog for example supporting widgets as much as possible, as well as popular plugins readily integrated into WordPress.
Widget support, Widgets are a relatively new product coming from WordPress and in my opinion the best thing on WordPress, using these widgets allows you to control your blog without the need for HTML knowledge which is a large reason why I have chosen to add widget support.
