mod+#

Once more, "mod + #" (i.e #=1:9, don't be such a geek, just say # represents any number from 1 to 9) does only change your desktop; it does not take you back to the previous file or web page or other program or the iPhone that you hold one minute ago. It just changes the view. I know it looks completely ridiculous for you if you are not using xmonad (nobody in your audience uses xmonad you moron; do you even have followers, anyway? - I do have ok. He is, no she is a friend of mine! - I don't believe. You even don't have an imaginery girlfriend  - Yes you are right, it is because I have imaginary girlfriends) (Hey, I'm just kidding, ok! - No you are not.) but for those of you using xmonad might have experienced that (you are even not sure, you just say "might"; this ''might" happen only to you my friend).

So, it is like you were using ctrl+z to take back your special friendship (no, you did not have such thing) or or, like, err like you were using it to reverse your mistakes or - oh this is just lame. This even does not deserve any discussion at all. All you read is just a debate of mine with my inner voice.

Next time, a discussion on Hg perhaps. Kinda useful, right? (right...)

xmonad

My colleague Cyril suggested (and I guess earlier Yves suggested to Cyril) me to use Xmonad instead of Gnome. At first,  they both were like - dude you should install it: So I installed it. They suggested me some layouts and Cyril shared his setup and tweaks and etc. We started xmonad together and I used it straight  - two consecutive days (this is because you couldn't figure out how to log out - no, no I knew it - it was Mod+Something+SomeOtherThing). And yes, when they saw me xmonad they should have automatically assumed that I liked it. Well, not really. Actually, yeah; it was cool to use an interface like in sci-fi movies but where are the desktop icons, and where is "my computer"?

Now, after long days - thanks a lot guys. Xmonad it the best. It rocks, literally (no rock music of course. or maybe you couldn't figure that out, as well - huh pal?). I understood that the graphics driver was the issue on my computer  - xmonad was responding slowly. As soon as this issue is solved (you realized that after two months of course. but hey, it was such a lightening moment) xmonad starts to perform very well. Even, I changed the console into a transparent mode and used a nice background (which is listed here) via feh.

Here is my current (terms are subject to change) display:

What are those things written on the screen. Trilinos. More on Trilinos to come.
