Suspend problem fixed on Ubuntu

On my previous post regarding wireless problem on my Sony Vaio VGN-NR120E, the problem was fixed using madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz driver version. Though, the driver conflicts with suspend ability so since then my laptop lost its ability to suspend.
Both of my wireless and suspend problem have been fixed after following this link
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792158. (Thanks to bmartin who provides the detail guide).
Below is the steps:
1. If you installed another driver, please uninstall (make uninstall) it and clean (make clean) it.
2. Copy and paste these commands onto your terminal
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -y install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
cd ~
wget -O driver.tar.gz http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz
tar xf driver.tar.gz
cd madwifi-*
make
sudo make install
echo ath_pci | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
sudo modprobe ath_pci
3. Restart you system
4. After that, you'll see your wireless connection (in my case, it did work). When I tried to suspend, wow, it worked, it really did.
Good luck!

Storing notes of TOMBOY on different location

This guide is intended for Ubuntu users (it may work on other Linux distro though). If you are running TOMBOY 0.15.6 or later, all your TOMBOY notes are stored on ~/.local/share/tomboy/. You can change its default directory for your notes. This especially makes sense if you dual boot Ubuntu for example with Windows so you only want the same notes accessible from both OSs. Open terminal then run these commands: 1. sudo cp /etc/profile /etc/profile.bak (make backup of /etc/profile into /etc/profile.bak) 2. sudo gedit /etc/profile (edit /etc/profile) 3. copy and paste this line (without quotes): "export TOMBOY_PATH=/media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes". This will set up " /media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes" for your Tomboy PATH . Change " /media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes" accordingly to what directory you want to store your notes. 4. Restart the system and now Tomboy will read notes stored in that directory. Good luck.
