I wanted to get an indication of which plugins everyone uses, so I made this poll.  Please vote for each plugin that you actively use.  Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to post below!

With the recent launch of GNOME Do 0.8.2, a plugin I wrote called RemindMe was released as well.  This small plugin allows you to set small reminders for yourself, by simply typing the reminder and a time.  You can set two types of reminders, a count down timer, like in the example image.  Or you [...]

Recently I’ve been doing some contracting work for a friend.  The project is pretty simple, but it gives me a reason to finally play with Mono’s sqlite database engine.  It’s actually really cool, and I’m very happy to say that it works extremely well on Windows + Visual Studio.  Normally my IDE of choice is [...]

Well, today’s finally the day;  After weeks of alpha testing and months hard work, GNOME Do 0.8.0 is released!  This is another monumental release for an amazingly useful application.  GNOME Do has increasingly become the cornerstone of my linux desktop experience.  From time to time I even catch myself stopping to think about how I [...]

I’m very happy to say that I’ve finally got my PulseAudio setup working.  Technically, it was “working” before, but I could never get any of the network functionality to work.  Using PADevChooser, I could “see” other hosts with PA installed under the server menu, but I could never move streams to other hosts across the [...]

I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 (the Intrepid Ibex) on my laptop.  I’m happy to say that the upgrade process from 8.04 to 8.10 went very well.  When I first installed 8.04 I created a separate partition for /home (there’s a great howto guide here).  This made the upgrade process so incredibly painless.
After spending some time [...]

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, but just now made the time to actually do it.  I’ve been following the development of GNOME Do for a while now.  After playing with it for a while and learning how fast and easily things can be done with GNOME Do, I decided that [...]

I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 (The Intrepid Ibex) on my desktop computer and was pleasantly surprised to see that it didn’t have any problems loading the LiveCD.  I’ve been using Ubuntu since Gutsy (7.10) on my laptop, but the LiveCD would never boot on my desktop.  I’m not quite sure if it was the strange [...]

I just got back to Munich last night from Berlin.  Berlin is a very cool city, which I will have to visit again sometime in the future.  Now however, it’s time to pack everything up and say good bye to Munich.  Munich has been a great home to me for the past 4 months, and [...]

I went to Oktoberfest yesterday with a couple of friends that I met in Germany. It’s hard to explain the level of sheer awesomeness in any amount of words, so I’ll just sum it up as: “Wow”. It was much more than I expected. It was actually more than just a beer [...]
