Proof-Facts

Like the title says gnome do rules vaginas hard, and you should check it out. I’ve been looking for sleek desktop themes and tricks for quite some time. Both to make me more efficient and to make me feel like I’m in the future and shit. I want my desktop to make me feel like that if I dreamt up The Matrix that when I woke up I would be depressed at how outdated my dreams are. I’d probably replace the main chick in that movie with a chick who is actually hot too, but thats me and my weird fetish for attractive female leads.

Anyway I installed do at work awhile ago, but failed to fully utilize it. More honestly, I only used it to occasionally launch chrome or whatever. Not exactly a breakthrough of epic proportions. However, the last few days I decided to play some more with refining my desktop and have basically replaced all UI on my desktop with do. I no longer have gnome panels at all. All traditional interface items have been replaced by a conky script and do, together they are my entire desktop interface. Any panel app info I want is displayed by conky, and all other things do is handling. I already used key bindings as much as possible (I use vimium for chrome browsing) so the less desktop clutter the better.

Quick searches will turn up any app, even if you can’t remember it’s name specifically. You can install plugins that allow you do almost anything (Start chats, add items to your google calendar etc.). Maybe I will tire of not being able to see all open apps immediately since there is no panel applet to check, but for now it’s not bothering me at all. This is desktop minimalism at work. I would post a screenshot, but really what’s the point. It’s just a background of Darth Vader. Yes, I’m into technology, I’m into Star Wars, and I slay more vagina than you.

So go over to http://do.davebsd.com/ and check it out, or not, I don’t give a fuck.

I made a site and I need some high quality links to point to it so it will get indexed. I’m sure that this is going to do the trick because we are getting hundreds of thousands of visits per century. My other site is sure to get tons of traffic now.

Go find a car for sale from findacar.us. Notice how the URL doesn’t start with www? That’s because I’m smart and lazy and don’t need to type it in for the site to work. In fact, findacar.us ranks a Class B (optimal class) by the site no-www.org and is now immortalized on their site forever.

If you are seeing errors similar to:

Warning: include_once(MDB2/Driver/oci8.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/pear/PEAR/MDB2.php on line 330 Warning: include_once(): Failed opening 'MDB2/Driver/oci8.php' for inclusion

when you are trying to use MDB2 with oci8, then you just need to do the following to fix it.

1. Open a terminal
2. Type ‘sudo pear install MDB2_Driver_oci8‘ and you should see:

   
Password:

..........done: 37,027 bytes
install ok: channel://pear.php.net/MDB2_Driver_oci8-1.4.1


3. Restart Apache

The problem here is that you had MDB2 installed correctly, but you didn’t have the specific driver that tells MDB2 how to handle Oracle (oci8) connections.
