Indiana Jones 4 is a decent sequel to the previous three Jones series. Unlike Pirates of the Caribbean, the sequel named Dead Man’s Chest was the first movie that actually made me fall asleep in the movie theater.
I generally enjoyed watching Jones 4. However, there are two things in the movie with which I want to find fault:
If something is evil to be tough, then this thing is doomed to be destroyed. Why? Because this is what happened to the rogue CD protection software — Starforce.
As far as I could recall, I did not use Linux/Debian for about two years. Last week, I had an open time slot and I decided to installed my favorite Distro Debian/Lenny on my aging desktop to play around a little.
My experience so far is mixed. I would say the general user experience has enhanced so much that I actually spent less time fixing the system for a better environment.

My frequent inquiry into Google Blog Search with the key word “Debian” reveals me this intriguing post, which is titled “Why I love Debian“. Unfortunately, I could not access the page and view its contents for some obviously guessable reasons ( /me casting a wary eye at G.F.W).

So how to create a simple and easy robots.txt for your new WordPress blog?
Once again, Google proves to be almost omnipotent. I have long desired to learn in a very detailed way how to setup LAMP servers, mail servers and other types of magic serving power of Debian. Just a casual search under Google Blog revealed a lot of useful posts and topics. For example, I encountered this round-up of 100 setting up tips for Linux servers.
