After several months of using Twitter, I’m still twittering. I guess because other friends are as well. As soon as I forget about Twitter I get a text message from someone reminding me haha. For those that are new to Twitter here are some commands you can do on Twitter if you have setup IM or your mobile phone.
track iphone
Send this via your phone or IM client and anyone who updates in public mentions “iphone” you’ll get it on your device in real-time. From there you can send “whois username” to find out more about that person, or “follow username” to follow his or her updates.
untrack iphone
This will toggle your tracking on obviously.
You are allowed to create as many tracks as you want but if you want to get a list of what you’re currently tracking send:
track
or you can send
stats
To turn them all off send:
track off

Debian isn’t for everyone (before you get to excited)
Introduction
The following document describes a typical install process for Debian Linux. Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
This document is not written at a “beginner” level and is not intended to assist users who want to learn Linux. It is tailored towards a more experienced Linux user who wishes to give Debian a try. The document also covers a lot of material which is not very well documented on the Debian web site. Let’s get started.
Ahhhhh Linux
That sweet smell of plastic, gold, copper, and bunch of Hackers. It’s a sweet smell that I have come to love over the years. If you have never experienced the thrill and joy of a Linux command prompt, sit back and we’ll discover some of the basics of commanding a full blown Linux box all by ourselves. We will also touch on some basic and essential tools that are standard while using the Linux Operating System as well as touch on some concepts that will hopefully help the reader to better understand why things are the way they are.
