Well I first found this( http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7567/1.html) article from Linux Magazine, and I of course think that competition from the Mozilla team could mean that other services may improve. Such as dil.icio.us, dig.com, facebook.com, twitter.com, identi.ca, Wordpress and Drupal. There are of course more. Anyway I'll have to try it sometime.

Open Suse Forum is slow on install help this December.
Well I tried to install opensuse on my amd2 machine and the screen would randomly blank-out during the install process. So I just posted on the forums my problem, and I proceeded to install another distribution( there are many possible Linux distribution to try). Anyway my unanswered post is here( http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/426361-11-2-random-screen-blank-freeze.html) if someone know about the issue.

A Superb Guide on Making a Bootable Pen drive
The guide( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick) was presented to me as I was using Ubintu's Web-site to download the latest remix.
SuSE 11.2 64 Bit Installer Fails Hardware Detection part 1
I had downloaded the latest opensuse installer for 64 bit binaries, and the screen would flicker on and off so much and randomly that I gave up at that point. I came across some forum posts that had black screen in their title, but they did not cover my scenario. An idea might be to install the Nvidia drivers during installation although the install seemed to give the option to use the vesa driver. Still I had the same very annoying screen flicker. I don't know when I will write a solution. Hopefully by the next opensuse release.

Some KDE Apps Are Slowly Progressing
KDE four has followed Trolltech's development of QT from version three to four, and has lead to the need for developers to implement the new APIs in their applications that have been written with integration in the KDE desktop as a design goal. Although, KDE 4 has had many design changes and programming API changes as well. So, this broken applications are not surprising, but has lead me to wonder how developers could be better informed.
For some good news, kaudiocreator has been tested with KDE 4 and has recently reached version 1.2.81 after which version 1.2.81 was ported to KDE 4(http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=107645). Also, Gentoo has added version 1.2.81 to the portage tree( developer ssuominen ). The KDE application Kooka has not been well ported to KDE 4(http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Kooka), but there are reported alternatives. Such as the work to integrate scanning into koffice and kolourpaint via libkscan. K3b has been ported to KDE 4. Although, it is still considered beta. Thus there are features that have not been fully implemented nor tested in k3b beta. An IDE for KDE 4 has also not been completed(www.kdevelop.org). The kdevelop suite is currently in beta testing for KDE 4. The micro blogging KDE 4 application Choqok(choqok.gnufolks.org)supports Twitter, Identi.ca, self-hosted Laconica, but does not have support for some popular sites microblogging-like status feature, e.g. facebook.com . The Web-development centric KDE application Quanta Plus has not been ported to KDE 4, and the note-taking centric KDE application has also not been ported. The basket Web-site( http://basket.kde.org/roadmap.php ) has reported likely support in the 2.0 release. The Web-site( http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2830 ) also is reporting support in the 1.1.3 release of kexi scheduled to be released with koffice 2.0 . KBibTex is currently being ported as reported at( http://home.gna.org/kbibtex/
). KMyMoney, a personal accounting applicaition or personal finance manager that was presented at Akademy 2008 by Thomas Baumgart( http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/index-home.html ) may one day be ported to KDE 4. Even still, I can't complain about the overall progress of KDE version 4. And for an OFFICIAL matrix try looking at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/Application_Porting_Status.
Thanx to all that love and help KDE development and extras.

The Jetta Passes Maryland State Inspection
Yesterday my Jetta Was marked at 119951 Miles on the odometer.
Yesterday I changed the cap and rotor. As regular maintenance to maintain the car's ignition system. The contacts had corrosion build-up. I bought the parts from Advanced Auto Parts. The cap now on the car is a BWD Engine Management Technology C742, and the rotor is a BWD Engine Management Technology Z-series D637Z.
Earlier this week I had also changed the High Tension Leads(HTL). As the insulation that were on the vehicle's previous HTLs had started to dry-rote.
Also during the past month I had other maintenance completed. The muffler and the rear strut mounts were replaced by a mechanic at my brothers work, a dealership. I had also replaced the front strut boots, thrust-bearings, and the oil trap's 60 degree rub er PVC hose. In addition, I replaced the oil( with 0W-30 for the winter) and oil filter.
