Swift is a new programming language developed by Apple to build iOS, OS X, watch OS, and tvOS applications. Its goal is to replace the current Objective-C language in future, not for now or in near few years. Apple Inc. has made it open-source so community around the world can help to make it available everywhere. At the time of this writing, it is only available for Apple Platform and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit). Windows and other Linux distributions such as RedHat, CentOS, OpenSUSE will be supported later.

1TB Hitachi HGST HDD SATA-3 on MacBook Pro Early 2011

November 3, 2015

I have a MacBook Pro 13” Early 2011 which is still running without any problem until now. The RAM had been upgraded to 8GB and the Apple HDD had been replaced with a Corsair Force GS SSD 240GB as the main disk. The SuperDrive was removed and replaced with Apple HDD by using an OptiBay or HDD Caddy. It has been running perfectly for more than 2 years.

As the Apple HDD is only 320GB capacity, its free space is almost running out now so I decided to buy a new 1TB 2.5” Hitachi Internal Hard Disk (Model: HGST HTS541010A9E680) SATA-3 (6.0 Gbps). I installed it in the OptiBay or HDD Caddy to replace the 320GB of Apple HDD.

As I have a laptop which is running LinuxMint 17.2, this post is written to show you how to add HP LaserJet 3055 on LinuxMint 17.2 Rafaela.

Our office owns an HP LaserJet 3055 printer to print word, spreadsheet, presentation documents and other documents. It is basically a good printer for office. The printer is a network printer and is assigned with a static IP address. You have to be in the same subnet to be able to add the printer.

I don’t want to talk more about the printer on this post. As I have a laptop which is running LinuxMint 17.2, this post is written to show you how to add HP LaserJet 3055 on LinuxMint 17.2 Rafaela. Magically, it is very easy to add this printer on LinuxMint Rafaela as the printer driver is already installed by default. You don’t need to download it manually.
