As I am writing this, the Apple store is repairing for an update. What kind of update will it be?
There are many softwares available to monitor your system and present it to your desktop. If you want to get back about 10 years ago, you might still remember about DockApps. A small square on the edge of your desktop showing information about your system. Later, the beautiful gDesklets comes to satisfy your eyes. Torsmo, it does not come as beauty as DockApps or gDesklets but it is just what some people might need. Torsmo is very light, easy to install and use.

This is definitely an appropriate word used by the Joe Barr on his The facts behind the “Get the Facts” ad campaign article.
Like many readers, I find Microsoft’s Get the Facts (GtF) ads repugnant, especially when they appear on sites dedicated to Linux and open source software. I understand that such organizations’ editorial and ad sales staffs operate independently, meaning neither side tells the other what content it is or isn’t allowed to carry, but I still don’t like it. Happily, however, the bogus GtF ads may not be around much longer.
Joe Barr cited in his article about the infamous TCO study featured in the GtF campaign claimed Linux was 10 times more costly than Windows. What a repugnant lies.
Microsoft loves false comparisons, but occasionally finds itself in hot water for using them. One “independent” TCO study featured in the GtF campaign claimed Linux was 10 times more costly than Windows. As reported by the BBC, Microsoft was ordered to pull misleading ads purported to compare the cost of the software while not revealing that it was actually comparing the cost of running Linux on two IBM mainframes against the cost of running Windows on a PC with two Intel CPUs.
My first website (DS.i v1.0) started its appearence on September 2004. It was using xhtml strict and a very plain design, nothing fancy. That website was intented to be an archive to collect all of my writings. It was very static and rarely updated.
The second one is my blog on davidsudjiman.blogspot.com. This is the place that I learn to write more about almost anything.
Then I was thinking to combine those websites in one source as it is now.
If you happen to read this message, you are reading it from my new website DS.i v20.
As you may be aware, by looking at the bottom of this website, you can see that I’m using WordPress blog management. This blog management I chose over blosxom which I consider very hard to implement. Although blosxom has the look I want, I had to put up with more hours to put several features and finally I can make myself sure that I don’t want to put more efforts on it.
WordPress, on the other hand, works like a charm. Create database, untar your WordPress file, put some plugins, import article from previous blog and that’s it.
As before, this website presents nothing fancy, just merely texts and texts about my catharsis, IT news, operating system, opinion, security news, tutorial, and some article that I consider should be for eXclusive readers. I would probably add more writings here as this is the best way I can learn to remember things, to write it.
You can still access my writings on writings and if you want to contact me or to send email, you can read about.
