I got tired of seeing everyone on the planets (Fedora & Gnome) showing-up in Liferea doing this, and I was left out. So here’s mine from work: [basil.gohar@escapdv01 ~]$ history|awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head 265 ll 210 cd 101 time 86 dbrestore 79 exit 28 su 24 vi 18…

Family blog
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem Last week my wife & I have decided to start our own family blog to track family’s Islamic development. As a result, I will most-likely be posting my personal- and family-related musings over there rather than here, allowing HidayahTech to remain more tech-oriented. That doesn’t mean there will be a complete dearth…
WordPress 2.5

My projects running on free software (and how to better integrate them)
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem Software that is free from proprietary restrictions (a.k.a, free-and-open-source software, which I will refer to as simply “free software” for the rest of this post) has become exceedingly important in my life for both philosophical as well as practical reasons. Not only do I truly believe free software to be inherently better…
