Fix for Tab Mix Plus and iFox Theme
Blef! Finally found a fix for the awesome Tab Mix Plus Firefox extension and the iFox (and associated) themes! Sheesh. Can’t believe I tried to ignore that for so long!!
Opera is Cool Again; PSP Comparison
Okay, well, I mean, it’s always been cool. I’ve been using it for a few days instead of Firefox and it’s nice to see some of the new things in the Opera camp since I had last used it. I like the widgets idea, although I can’t find any widgets that will let me post to my blog. And I miss the del.icio.us buttons/extension that is available for Firefox. I definitely like the feel and organization of Opera. It just feels better and more solid. Like the theme and appearance management. Seriously… having to reboot your web browser to just change a theme or add in an extension… seems… really… silly.
KPilot Insomniatic Progress
I have never had insomnia before in my life. Until tonight. I don’t know if it’s the stress of everything that’s going on in our lives right now (um, trying to sell a house in a REALLY bad housing market, trying to figure out how to pack up and move one’s family on a shoestring budget, wanting really badly to do super good on my new job that I absolutely love, etc., etc., etc.).
KPilot Almost Progress
Blef. So, I finally got a chance, late tonight, to hit the code, so to speak. After an encouraging couple of e-mails with a KPilot user (hi Ryan!), and my own discouraging lack of time as of late to touch KPilot code, and the fact that I can’t sync with my Treo 700p (grr), I dug in and started looking at the guilty code.
Mencoder, DVD Rip, Volume Increase, Your PSP, and You!
Holy crap. The time between iterations of testing video encoding is prohibitive to quick progress as well as a (several) good night’s sleep.
Embedded Album Covers, Your PSP, Amarok, and You
So… first off, I Googled for Amarok, hoping to find some new sweet pixels and instead I find this. Um… so not the Amarok that I know and love.
I am a nerd
So, lest there be any confusion about the subject, I’m a nerd. You can blame my wife for making me take the test. And there goes 5 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back…
Ah, Now I See What You’re Talking About
It’s an extremely difficult thing, trying to support this weird beast, the Palm. Or, more accurately, it’s an extremely difficult thing trying to support the numerous personalities and implementations of the Palm beast. I mean, KDE PIM as a start is about as unsexy as you could want. But genius me, I focus on the ugliest duckling of KDE PIM: KPilot. Don’t get me wrong… I’m a gadget geek, enjoy Palms immensely, and have been for… gosh… 8+ years now?? (Wow, just had to check what year the IIIe came out…). And, there’s a reason that I’m hacking on KPilot, and that’s because I honestly believe it’s the best PIM-synching Palm solution in FLOSS-land.
Better Firefox Themes??
Okay, seriously, I think we could just delete 90% of the firefox themes on addons.mozilla.org. Truly, I am almost physically ill after spending a few minutes looking through them. And the ones I’ve found on deviantart are out of date and unusable. Surely, there must be a top-secret repository of really good Firefox 2 themes somewhere, right? Certainly this can’t be all that there is? Bah humbug. You know what? I think I’d even consider paying some small amount of $cash for something truly beautiful and groundbreaking.
