New version of Pwman3 released (v0.9)
Yesterday night I released a new version of my CLI password manager Pwman3. This is a major mile stone, with huge amount of changes and improvements. Read more to find about what changed, and what I learned writing this version.
Turn your laptop to alarm clock
I bumped into an article describing `rtcwake` [here](http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/wake-cron.html), so I thought it will be cool to write a nice wrapper script around it.

She was really happy she could write her thesis on this nice machine again because Windows XP could not function properly on this machine. Installation was a breeze and the non technical friend of mine was working on it happily for 4 months now.
