  1. Up again on Slashdot Outage Update · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see you up again. Long time reader here. I review main page a couple of times a day. Thank you very much for your work.

  2. I also use Geany when I have the luxury of an X Window screen. I do Python, JS, C, HTML, Perl, PHP and Bash with it. But for remote terminals over SSH and console terms I use ne ("the nice editor") fully customized.

  3. Me too. At college, in a course of Numeric Analisys, Math degree, around 1980.

    Then, seftaught SuperBASIC on my Sinclair QL.

    But my first programs were on an HP-65 borrowed from a friend of mine. Just I think it does not count as a programmming language, it is not?

  4. Here you have mine: picture
    I. e.: real people older than 80 using a Debian box, I take care of installing and administering, they just have the fun (ssh to the rescue just in case).
    They moved from MS Win 98; they have trouble using computers no matter wich OS they use, but be sure that all their hardware is working, the KDE UI is not confusing and they are very autonomous.

  5. Re:Know how else users can get faster load times? on Google Releases Open Source 'Guetzli' JPEG Encoder (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Of course you are right. But squeezing files on a web server is always wellcome. I routinelly optimize all my JPEG and PNG images on my site:
    optipng -q *.png
    jhead -purejpg *.jpg
    If the new algorithm is better than currents one, I'll use it.

  6. Apple apps approved? on Army Special Operations Command Ditching Android For iPhone, Says Report (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    Can the Army install custom apps for themselves or they need to be approved first for Apple?

  7. i5 Debian Wheezy on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Computer Set-Up Look Like? · · Score: 1

    I have more than ten computers, but my primary workstation currently has an i5 4690K with 8 GB of RAM, one 32 GB SSD for programs and a 2 TB magnetic drive for data.

    Operating system is Debian Wheezy (yes, really). KDE desktop.

    Browser is Firefox 28 (if my web development runs fine in it, I hope it will run OK on newer versions).

    Editor of choice is "Nice Editor", heavily customized. I use every day (every minute, really) Konsole and ssh. gFTP is very important for me too, as graphical ssh client.
