ENJOYABLE SIDES
I must say that Epiphany impresses me. Even though I did have to bring out the gconf-editor to be able to get the tab bar to always stay open, it does reek of user-friendlyness (for the most part, see the annoyances section below). Its sleek GNOME HIG-compliant interface is great to work with, and [...]
Quite recently there has been a policy change in the free software host Savannah. Now it is no longer good enough to license documentation under the GNU General public license anymore. You either license it under the GNU free documentation license or a compatible license or take your code somewhere else! They do allow dual-licensing, [...]
Here’s a music video for the band Grandaddy written by some guy using an Apple 2!
It’s located at: http://www.stewdio.org/jed/MEDIA/jed_movie.mov
Or, for the oh-so-lazy of you:
cd /tmp/; wget http://www.stewdio.org/jed/MEDIA/jed_movie.mov; mplayer -fs ./jed_movie.mov; rm -f ./jed_movie.mov
I wish you all a happy new year, and try to be nice to each other when it’s not christmas too.
Okay, I decided to drop the panel completely.
It was hrm, a bit strange at first - but I’m used to it by now and I’m not missing it. Ah well :)
I’ve written a document with a few ssh tips and tricks. Feel free to provide feedback in comments if you have any :)
…or so I must have been.
Currently I’m using the XFce panel. It does what it does well, or at least what I currently use it for. It’s a clock, pager, wlan monitor and battery monitor. All which is fine, the thing is - the panel always displays a little bit, it’s never truly gone. I [...]
If you haven’t heard about Linus’ little outbreak on the gnome ML yet then I think you should get out from that rock and back to the real world (either that or you’re one of the few non-geeks that happen to pass by my blog :).
I like GNOME, but I don’t use it. I [...]
A friend of mine suggested that I should try LaTeX.
In the begginning I was like naaw, meeh…Uhh, naah. But then, Saturday night I figured I should look at it. And now, well, I’m saved!
I should have done this WAY sooner! If you’re a geek, take my advice, dump OOo or any other software you’re using [...]
As usual the scary boy in black got stopped and searched by airport security. I’m getting used to this, I get this almost every time I fly. I go through the metal detector, the metal detector doesn’t beep, nothing wrong with my luggage… But still they tell me to “come over here” and then proceed [...]
…by going to the airport at 06:00 and then getting told that the darned flight has been postponed and is now leaving at 07:40 - oh joy!
Sooo, plane leaves in ~2 hours and I’ve had, let me see, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds of sleep this night. Mmm…
After reading AdamW’s blog post about Last.fm I decided to try it out and turns out I rather like the thing.
So now all of you big brothers…erm…I mean music lovers out there can spy on my music taste at http://www.last.fm/user/Zero_Dogg/ :o
It’s amazing how many will click this link just because it’s there.
If you’re reading on Planet Mandriva then you’re probably tired of hearing of this but for those that aren’t here goes.
There’s an excellent animation about so called “trusted computing” up at http://www.lafkon.net/tc/. Or, if you’re lazy, here’s a direct link to a “super high” quality XviD.
I’ve just uploaded a screenshot of gmDB ported to GTK2 (a screenshot of the old GTK1 interface is available here).
I got alot of help from Chong Kai Xiong, on of the developers of Beep Media Player and there is no way I could have ported it to gtk2 this fast without the help hehe.
It also [...]
…not officially this time either though.
Tomorrow we have a «study day», which is just my schools excuse of giving us a day off without actually calling it a day off. then on Wed-Thu I’m going to be in Oslo for the OOo meeting. I’m suppose to go to school on Friday but I’m going to [...]
I finally got around to creating a webpage (mind you I am no web designer). It’s available at http://zerodogg.iamaturtle.org/. Theres not too much content there right now (except in Norwegian) but that’s coming.
The page has all of my notes from this year of school available (in Norwegian) under a creative commons license, thus hopefully perhaps [...]
I just finished the last bit of “real” school work this year! Well…that is, I might still have to do an oral exam, I get to know about that on Monday, however since I’ve already had written exams in Math I can’t come up in oral Math and theres only one other class I can [...]
I’ve committed a (perhaps a bit buggy) version of gmDB to CVS, and updated the goldenfiles project webpage with information about it. It even has a screenshot. I don’t know if it’s still a good thing that when I need some piece of software I end up spending alot more time writing one (or in [...]
