on the first line then you don't need to run it with python

you can check for gnome like:

There is desktop drapes but it is too OTT for me so I wrote my own python script.

I wrote a blog post on it: http://www.rickvause.com/2010/06/random ... for-gnome/

If you run gconf-editor, you get a tree-style configuration view of this stuff to edit. If you look in /desktop/interface you can make some handy desktop tweaks for gnome like buttons_have_icons etc

You can use gconftool-2 to edit these on the command line.

In my gnome setup a desktop launcher (http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GNOME.html#LAUNCHER) file needs placing in $HOME/.config/autostart/ . The rest happens automatically there.

This is nice. I especially like the lack of tracking respecting users privacy better. The !Bang searching is good too.

Thanks for that. I had a skim through. I built a Ajax chat app with Django and Jquery not so long ago and it has been deployed and in use in the office since. I have been thinking about plugging it into Jabber/XMPP to give users more flexibility in how they use it. Screenshot: http://img8.imageshack...

I fancy giving it a spin but haven't possessed anything with a floppy drive for years!

I've been listening to http://www.last.fm/music/Hemstad/_/Fyllek%C3%A4rring , by Hemstad (a band that seems to have to disappeared somewhere). If anyone likes it, I'll let you know how my search for an LP goes. Update: I got in touch with @catbird on twitter and asked about the band's recordings. He...

That's really cool. I can think of some cron tasks I could apply this to right away.

I subscribed. Are you aiming at a niche or just going to fire randomly until you find something that works?

Edit: I have actually got a Wordpress tip for you. Use tags instead of categories, tags are more flexible and more fun to navigate.

Netbeans is great for PHP, I especially like that when saving you can have it automatically fire the changes to an SSH server, and the remote debugging support for xdebug is great. Have you tried Zend studio? Although I haven't tried it, real PHP developers tell me that its fantastic.

That makes sense. I tried Netbeans with a PHP setup recently when I was working on some old PHP code. It is pretty sleek in comparison to Eclipse but still Java-punches your ram on startup and feels a little OTT. I have also recently tried Eclipse+Pydev which is a really great Python IDE, but again ...
