Ubuntu Countdown
How to: Initiate a Timed Shutdown
On Friday I was downloading some files on my Netbook (running Ubuntu Remix 10.04) and was not planning to stick around for the downloads to finish (it was already close to 7pm, I needed to get home for the weekend). I didn’t want to leave it running all weekend and I still had another hour to go before my downloads finished… What to do?
Well I decided to initiate a delayed shutdown of my system. Since the downloads had about 1hr and 15 minutes left, I decided to be extra safe and set the shutdown for an extra 30 minutes after that… Here’s how I did it:
In your terminal, run the following command:
sudo shutdown -h 20:45 "See you

That’s right folks, my website is now iPhone friendly. (Note: from what I understand it should also work in certain other fancy phones too)
Here’s how it goes:
Step 1 – Open Safari -> Navigate to: alexsantidote.com
find Alex's Antidote in iPhone's Safari Browser
Step 2 – Check out my fancy mobile theme
