Pere Benavent Personal Blog
This entry should be a part from a longer article about Linux bash shell or a tip in a tip/trick list. But I allways forget how I set root prompt’s on my machines so better I writte down here and it’s easier for me to find:
export $PS1="[\[\033[41;1;37m\]\u\[\033[0m\]@\h \W]$"
and you’ll get something similar to this:
[root@porta root]$
… which is very usefull to pay attention when you’re root.
I wrotte about it latter but as I want to practise my writted english, not to be the coolest blogger in the world, then I don’t mind.
First good new me come from Sun when they announce in they newsletter for developers that they let you donwload for free their IDE for Java.
Second were Oracle, with their Oracle Database 10g Express Edition wich is free for develop, deploy and distribute. Oracle use to let use their products for free, assuming you’re developer, but as son as you put in a production environment, you, or your client has to buy a license and/or support. So the good new is that you may use it for free totally, also in environment production, but no support is offered unless you pay and this software is a lesser edition, which isn’t exactly the same as 10g is.
Third one has been Microsoft, ans this really weird. They offer also a lesser version from Visual Studio, call it: Visual Studio Express.
A sort of non-profit organization has been created, Open Invention Network receives patents that IBM, Novell, Philips, Red Hat and Sony are buying for beeing used in Linux.
I know that IBM, Oracle, HP, and some others big software companies are working togheter in OSDL and also in Apache Foundation (IBM, Oracle, they all took a lot of profit from developing in peace Apache, Tomcat, Jakarta, no matters that they differs on some other things) but it surprises me a few, to find Philips&Sony.
This days I’m working ten hours per day, and also I’ve got my home duties, so there’s no time for blogging, and when I find a free minute I try to relax myself. Weekends are for University (you may practise your Catalonish as I practise English by reading my University Catalonish Blog at Cdmssc)
So long
Sorry, if you expect to find an english note. Today, looking for this acronym:CDMSSC that I found in a beautiful short story from a catalonish writer (E.Vila-Matas), I’ve found a secret source he was inspired of.
… and now, let the poetry speak:
EL OLVIDO
No es tu final como una copa vana
que hay que apurar. Arroja el casco, y muere.Por eso lentamente levantas en tu mano
un brillo o su mención, y arden tus dedos,
como una nieve súbita.
Está y no estuvo, pero estuvo y calla.
El frío quema y en tus ojos nace
su memoria. Recordar es obsceno,
peor: es triste. Olvidar es morir.Con dignidad murió. Su sombra cruza.
Vicente Aleixandre
