Jump-to-Playing Rhythmbox Plugin TODO
I haven’t looked at the plugin for a while, but I’ve been meaning to reproduce my “todo” list for it that I wrote on the rb-dev list a while back. the gconf keys in gconf-editor say they have no schema. The main plugins’ keys have a schema and don’t give a warning. Definitely not serious,… Continue reading Jump-to-Playing Rhythmbox Plugin TODO
A Guide to Email for that Forward-Loving Family Member
Dear Dad, I’m happy to read something written by you. Really, I am. However, I’m tired of reading reams of forwarded drivel. (But please do not think you are responsible for this.) Being one of these “modern generation” kiddies (and especially in my case) I spend a lot of time on the computer already. I… Continue reading A Guide to Email for that Forward-Loving Family Member
Sky
Things have not been so good around here, recently. But I’ve managed without any real incident, with the exception of last Tuesday night.

(Since they hitch rides on luggage, they are most common in places with… Continue reading Sky
GNOME 3.0 Ideas (Intelligent Desktop)
This is based off of a Summer of Code application I made in 2007, titled “Intelligent Desktop.” Recent discussions have reminded me to at least blog about it.

Eee PC’s generally get great reviews with the one complaint being their… Continue reading Netbooks
Blog Updates
After heavily updating some things on my blog, someone on my shared host server caused the server to die repeatedly. My blog was pretty much gone all of yesterday and part of the day before. Hopefully it’s all been resolved. Anyway, I’ve recently added a Contact page, updated the About page, added OpenID login option… Continue reading Blog Updates
WordPress Upgrade Script
Even though the WordPress upgrade is easy, it’s troublesome. So I wrote a script to do it for me. Yep. There’s lots of these out there. And a lot of hosts (including mine) have a one-click install/update thing. But for some reason, I decided to write my own script. In python. Got to use a… Continue reading WordPress Upgrade Script
python treeview toggle
Had this post sitting around. Seems finished. May be helpful to someone. /me waves Wand of Publish +1 I was confused when I was playing around with this basic concept: adding a toggle widget to the treeview in pygtk. The reason for this is an inconsistency in the api model – or at least how… Continue reading python treeview toggle
Creating a DVD Slideshow in Linux
For my brother’s wedding, about a week ago, my sister wanted to do a slideshow for them. She’s done this before and she’s known for spending lots of time making very nice, emotional slideshows with carefully chosen pictures and music. Previously, she would count in her head while manually switch the slides with a traditional… Continue reading Creating a DVD Slideshow in Linux
