Know when you will type :q in your term instead of vi(m), the alias will chewed you out.

most simple solution is to alias :q like so:
alias :q=`echo ”This is not vim”`

but as someone suggested in commandlinefu, you can use tput to put some color and fun into this.
alias :q=’tput setaf 1; echo >&2 ”this is NOT vi(m) :/”; tput sgr0’

Change information for the user on Linux machine.

Today I have couple of hours to spare and thus thought might as well spend it on my blog. The finger command in *nix systems is used to display the information on the users. This information is taken from the /etc/passwd file. You can use the chfn command to change the information.

Chrome – Chromium on Linux (repo)

Fedora people put up a repo for the chrome web browser and it is quite frequently updated. All you need to do to install the browser is following:

sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/chrome.repo

and add the following lines

name=Chromium Test Packages
baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Once this is done, you can install the browser with yum as follows:

sudo yum install chromium

Yahoo adds Glue to make search more useful

The article is so good in itself that I need not say anything more than giving the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2008/nov/20/yahoo-glue" target="_blank">link.

Way back in May, I posted technology/blog/2008/may/09/yahootriesglueinindia&#8221;>Yahoo tries Glue in India, which said: &#8221;Most big search companies are experimenting with the idea of comprehensive search pages that show lots of different results — text, images, video etc — instead of just text. Google calls it Universal Search. Yahoo&#8217;s is Glue, and a beta version has just been launched in India.&#8221;
