Recently, I had to connect to a Windows VPN server from my Ubuntu laptop to help someone troubleshoot an application. So I thought to do a tutorial on how to setup a VPN client from Ubuntu to Windows: XP for this talk.
Sometime ago, I wrote a tutorial for setting up a VPN server on Windows XP Professional. This is the VPN server the Ubuntu VPN client will be connecting to. You might want to set up a server first.
Luckily, Ubuntu ships with a straightforward and easy process.

I am still trying to feel at home with Ubuntu 10.04 and one of my achievements so far is to setup a blogging client for Joomla.
At first, I had used the Synaptic Package Manager to install BloGTK, however it wouldn't launch / start from Applications >> Internet BloGTK. Searching around the web, I found a solution. A blogger, by name Balau, in his post titled BloGTK installation on Ubuntu 10.04 had experienced the same issue(BloGTK won't start after installation).

The following is a tutorial on how to enable clean URLs on a localhost(test server) installation of Drupal-6 with WampServer.
Drupal version: 6-19
WampServer version: 2.0
Operating System: Windows XP, SP2

I visited a friend at the computer village in Ikeja Lagos a week ago. My laptop had been behaving very funny for about 2-days, so I took it to his shop for a checkup. When I got there, he was busy "brushing" a board of another laptop; "brushing", I mean, scrubing the board's surface with a toothbrush.
We exchanged greetings, he told me to take a seat, that he'll be ready for me in about 5-minutes. Meanwhile, he talked about the problem with the piece of hardware he was working on. He told me
With 2010 rolling to a close, I took a stock of this year's major events yesterday. As far as my online life is concerned, my unfortunate experience with Web4Africa was major. I thought I was in good hands, I mean, Naija to Naija; but unfortunately, it was a pot of soup.

Ask the average Nigerian child what
I use blogdesk for a couple of my blogging activities. It is light in weight, not too complicated to use and can get things done quickly, so I thought why not just put up a post about installing it rather than mentioning "installation" over and over again in my future posts.
