Last couple of months I was having a tough time getting the plugins in my wordpress to work with the ping.fm service. This is the only service that I rely on to post my blogs. So, basically I was left with no mechanism to publish my new posts 🙁

So, here is the features of this pretty good image editor having the capability to edit RAW images.

have a look at this article, this suggests how to debug the core and find the offending process and root cause of the core in case of kernel panic.
The following shell script finds duplicate (2 or more identical) files and outputs a new shell script containing commented-out rm statements for deleting them (copy-paste from here):
