Using the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE combo to kill X

The above combo kills Xserver and gets you out of any window manager incase of an emergency. Though linux rarely goes to the "blue screen of death" mode, I find that this combo is still useful to help you in your hurry :). Beware that I have heard this may not work in Gentoo and some variations.

work, bz, sleep and the monotony!

Monitor, screen, mouse, keyboard! Are these mostly the things I know off? More recently, headphones have become part of this sojourn. Passion, dedication, faith, trust, loyalty, frustration! are these some of the feelings I go through in this inevitable journey? More recently, euphoria has joined the ranks. Fire, zoom, jump, dodge, chat, lose! are these things I get to do when I play bzflag? More recently, winning has become more frequent. Computer, work, emotions, bzflag? are these part of my everyday routine? More recently, Blogging has also become essential!
