Roll on 2 years and I was slightly curious again so I installed a different distro, this time Mandriva. Everything worked perfect and I was instantly converted.

In these days of short attention spans, people no longer have time to read. Online audiences are looking for interactivity and dynamic elements (such as videos and images) to make them feel engaged while they are surfing a website. Using a slideshow on the homepage, with stunning imagery related to your company, and making it interactive is always a great idea if you want to leave a lasting first impression on a website visitor. It makes them more likely to spend time on your website and get to know your business better. This way you can make sure they read your most important content, and eventually buy your products, or check out your services.

I have been using Comodo Internet Security since it’s initial release and it just keeps getting better and better.

I recently updated to latest version of Linux Mint 8 and after installing Aptana, my favourite IDE, I noticed that my mouse buttons would not work when trying to click buttons. I tried re-installing the software and trying eclipse but it still didn’t work. I found a shell script on Google to solve a gtk bug, unfortunately the link is now dead but luckily I added the code below. I have eclipse installed in my home folder under .eclipse. Here is a little tutorial on how you write that script.

The browser is one of the most used pieces of software used today and believe me there is nothing worse than losing all of your data if your computer suddenly crashes or your data becomes corrupted.
