To have the tube syncronized...

I am proud to notice that Lisbon's tube/subway/underground (your pick...) is syncronized.
But, can anyone tell the guys from the control tower that syncronized shouldn't mean that two different lines arrive at the station at EXACTLY the same time????!!!!
Either I am the Flash or I miss the connection to the red line... btw, stats on these events are 20-80%.
Lovely.

Rainy weather or Cold weather?

Personally, I prefer the cold, for so many reasons... For starters,

and

and these....

The rain, well, it's wet, it's uncomfortable, it increases the traffic on the streets... AND it's a ROYAL PAIN ....

Long story short...

But.... I do like the rain.... as long as it bring the company of the cold... and then we end up with....

Remove old kernels

When you boot your computer and have 10E10 kernels to choose from in the bootloader, it is annoying... Usually you just have to boot the first one on the list, but if you have a Window$ OS installed, well, you have to go though the kernel list until you find the Window$ loader.

The option is to remove old kernels :)

Here's the trick:

1. Find out what is the version you are currently using with

uname -r

2. Check what kernels are installed in your machine

ls /boot | grep vmlinuz | cut -d'-' -f2,3

that will give you the KERNEL_IDs

2.6.28-23
2.6.28-24
2.6.28-25

3. Find the stuff associated with the kernels you don't want with

dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep KERNEL_ID | awk -F' ' '{ print $2 }'

that should give you the UNWANTED_STUFF_LIST

linux-headers-2.6.28-23

linux-headers-2.6.28-24-generic

linux-image-2.6.28-25-generic

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-25-generic

4. Finally, remove the items in UNWANTED_STUFF_LIST with

sudo aptitude remove UNWANTED_STUFF_LIST[N=1, ..., N]

Personally, I always keep the version I am using, (duh!) plus the previous one... You never know ....

It *REALLY* snows!!! :)
