The battery applet in gnome brings up power statistics, that should show you details like total and hourly draw rate. While total and current capacity can be also extracted from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info and /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state < i doubt this location or its presence varies.
While the power statistics just keeps a time track of it to find how many W per hour.

"And yes, it is way faster" +1

But if on a vps you're offered Arch and Debian, go for debian I suggest. Setting up a wordpress blog on a 384mb spacerich VPS with arch on it was a pain, for the reasons unknown. Maybe its spacerich or arch, but the solusvm panel just went blank on time to time in ram usage meter and the moment I opened wordpress admin panel, poof the server is down, again 0/0 ram usage.

While on debian, the apache2 configs are kept in a very sane way in sites-enabled and sites-available, etc, on arch as a server its still the old httpd.conf, etc.

Btw, wish to confirm this - I've put kernel 2.6.35 on my netbook and activated laptop-mode-tools , and ever since then the idle power utilization is dropped to average rate of 4.6W (my battery is rated 47Wh), giving me around ~10hrs of battery backup for reading books / listening to music.

Do you see the same time to empty on your netbook or do you see something around half of what it is marketed at? Mins is labelled at 11Hrs while it used to show up around 5 hrs on linux.

Though we couldn't meet but thanks a lot for letting us in at Bangalore office for weekend hacks. Though things did go great for 4-5 times, we eventually managed to invite a few people who undermined the freedom. Nothing more to say, but on the brighter side, we had great time overnight cooking some code, working on our projects, debating over issues and how to solve them, having a few good talks, etc.

All the best,

Re: GSoC 2009 - My Melange proposal

Oh in that case things look fine. Though the mentors for PyKata under psf are new and have some doubts over it.
" Should Abhishek post it, or at least a link to it, in our PyKata group discussion? That will avoid any feelings of favoritism before the official decision on April 26th."
anyways I will clarify with them.

Thanks!

Re: Alex Kahn | Notes on Redis: Data Modeling, Hashes, and Namespaces

I have used redis once to make a similar chatroom along with an AI bot. http://ideamonk.in/bakabot
Redis is pretty good where there isn't any need of relational data with normalization, etc.
And yes, dead simple to implement.

PHP would do one thing good - let me make db driven websites, and with frameworks like codeigniter and kohana, do it even better in the MVC way. But there isn't much to PHP as to learn more, naturally when you proceed till OOP php, you will find some things out of place. Python and C# do it in a more better way. Look at list of functions in php, foo_bar_beep ... Look at number of functions that start with 'a', many... and after all one can write a webapp in a better way in Python, thanks to django, appengine...

Naturally a +1 for Python and C# each from my side.

Re: What I learnt from the Hackfest at IITM | YuviSense

ideamonk — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:00:22 -0000

Hey YP,
When I was there at IITM for Shaastra last year, I too felt the lack of a peer group in a big way, being in a tiny-teenier college. But attending Hackfest, though I was such a n00b at that time, I remember, I hardly sat more than 1 hr, and I think it was @kirtika who was doing some svn checkouts on tomboy and I was wondering what the hell is going on! O_o But whatever small experience I had, that was what got me kicked/pumped into linux.
Anyways, just wished to say nice post, nice views, like your point about "cribbing", have been trying to get over it, but it keeps happening when college tries to eat up your time.
Best!

Hey thats a nice one.
The bug has already been reported few weeks back by someone. It traces back to the widget part of gtk+, needs a little bit of trimming in it.
Thanks.
