Facebook users: no privacy for you!

Those of you who use Facebook, think about it twice... Does it really justifies having all your life exposed to this possible threats?

Ever wanted to use multiple gmail accounts in firefox?

Do you have more than one Gmail account and would like to have them opened in firefox tabs without logging off each one at a time? Well, CookiePie is the answer to your problem. This firefox extension enables you to maintain diferent cookies storage in different tabs and windows.
Ok, maybe Gmail is not the perfect example for the best use of this extension because you can always add all accounts into one and manage all e-mails from one account only. But you can use it with whatever page pleases you as long it has cookie based sessions. In my case is for dual logging on blogger ;)

Ubuntu 7.10 - first impressions

I've upgraded my Ubuntu box last week with the new 7.10 release (gutsy gibbon). I've been using it and here's my first impressions about it:

- First, I used the upgrade button on feisty's update manager. Turned out to be a little troubled choice because after the upgrade I noticed some weird font problems. Since I use a separate /home partition, decided to do a clean install just to make sure everything would be ok.

- After the clean install (this step seems to be ridiculously easy, even more than windows), I noticed: the resolution of my LG 204WT 20" (1680x1050) was correctly detected by default (for the first time in my experience with linux) but... the image appeared smaller. Problem solved instantly after installing the nvidia graphic card driver.

- After the second reboot, I noticed that something was wrong with the login screen. The problem was that the resolution was different from the one used after login. Even using the new graphic xorg configurator, before login, resolution remains the same (gonna have to edit manually the xorg.conf file probably).

- Installed aMSN, and... no sound. Tried to change the play command in aMSN preferences to "aplay"... and still no sound. The rest of the applications work with sound really well.

- The compiz-fusion effects are amazing, but... occasionally, window borders and controls disappear, it's some sort of crash. I don't really need them so... I turned them off.

Until now, I found only just these (little?) problems, and everything else works perfectly. Ubuntu is in the right path.
