- We review our predictions for 2010 from last year, and make new ones for the year ahead.
- In the news:-
- Command Line Love – Check status of Ubuntu One file transfers
#!/bin/bash TOTAL=`u1sdtool --current-transfers | grep deflated | head -n 1 | cut -f7 -d' '` PROGRESS=`u1sdtool --current-transfers | grep read | head -n 1 | cut -f7 -d' '` expr \( $PROGRESS \* 100 \) / $TOTAL

Also, Google gears is part of HTML5 so it works out of the box in the browser. Firefox works with Gmail offline for example. Also @popey was right on the spot with cloud OSes, but he’s wrong in his conclusion. I think the cloud will take over, it’s just a matter of time.
Cheers,
