Tmux – the Terminal multiplexer
In a former article i’ve show how to use Screen and Byobu, in short Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells) while Byobu is an elegant enhancement of the otherwise functional, plain, practical GNU Screen. Byobu includes an enhanced profile and configuration utilities for the GNU screen window manager, such as toggle-able system status notifications.
But today we’ll see something similar, but different: Tmux

Free Software versus Open Source: Tryton vs OpenERP
I could write many pages, but it all comes down to one concept: ethics.
When I talk about Free Software, I talk about not only about freedom, but also community and good will from the software author. The latter probably is the most important one.
You write Free Software because you want to contribute to the community. It’s an act of social activism. It’s about sharing and helping out.

Ready for Gnome 3.2? no more suspend on laptop lid close
Gnome 3.0 was revolutionary, but at the same time there were some stupid mistakes. One of the biggest complaints about the gnome 3.0 was that (for laptop users) when the laptop lid was closed, the desktop went to suspend mode.
Should You Hop on Microsoft Metro
Ah another day, another development environment, but with a radical shift by Microsoft both in terms of development and interface, should you take a wait and see approach to Windows 8 (especially when Win7 is stable)?
Facebook Application Development
Do you have a Facebook page? If you do, you are among the 600 million users who actively use the social-networking service. I'll admit I initially resisted the temptation to join Facebook. After all, I've got e-mail, instant messaging and VoIP. What do I need with yet another form of communication? Eventually, temptation got the better of me, and I gave it a try. For the record, I also experimented with MySpace and Twitter, but those sites just didn't seem to do anything for me. These days, every time I go to my computer, I check my servers, my e-mail and my Facebook.

Trying to Read Between the Lines of Microsoft's Cloud Play
Even while Microsoft seems to suddenly get the whole desktop-cloud-mobile connection, I can't help but wonder if this magical transformation is real or just more grist from the Microsoft Hype Machine.

PDFCube is a tiny (<100KiB) program to render PDF presentations with special 3D effects. It adds eye-candy to your PDF presentations, even Latex, Beamer and Prosper ones.

It’s time to bring FPGA (open) design to the masses
today FPGAs powerful enough to run Linux and implement many types of useful integrated circuits are much cheaper than a few years ago, and the knowledge to use them is much more accessible. That's why it's time to bring FPGA design to the masses

Top 10 Career Choices for Yahoo's Ex-CEO Carol Bartz
Of course we couldn’t let the firing of Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz slide by without getting the top ten treatment. After all, they fired her on the telephone, then she went and showed us that she knows some words that are, er, not very polite. On top of that, she’s been willing to ignore a non-disparagement clause in her contract, possibly forfeiting over $14 million in money owed to her by Yahoo. Perhaps you can see how we might find this to be fodder for humor, no?

Q/A: Contributing To Open-Source Projects
On Tuesday at XDC2011 Chicago I hosted a question and answer panel about contributing to X.Org, Mesa, and the Linux kernel. Much of the information presented, however, is relevant to any open-source / free software project. The panel participants were largely graphics driver developers that started off contributing to open-source when at university and some of them have since moved on to working for major Linux companies, i.e. Intel and Red Hat. The talk was very interesting and Chicago computer science students were free to ask questions of them.
