A Few Odd Questions

28-Feb-07

I’ve run into a couple of weird issues this week and I thought I would bounce it off the group here. If you’ve got any suggestions or fixes for these issues I sure would appreciate it.

I run a proxy over ssh and squid for privacy-sake (and so IT at my office minds their [...]

Ubuntu Themes For Firefox

27-Feb-07

For those of you using some of the default Ubuntu themes (Human, Tango or Industrial) there is a package that will match those same themes for your Firefox browser for a more consistent overall look. I’ve got a screenshot below and how to install. Lets get started!
To install these themes you will [...]

Welcome Ohio LoCo Team!

26-Feb-07

This is just a quick note to welcome the Ohio LoCo Team to the list of approved local community teams! Great work Vorian and the rest of the crew.  You’re doing a great job and I’m excited to be working with you on expanding Ubuntu in the US.
Again, if you’re not part of a LoCo [...]

Ubuntu Tutorials Call For Volunteer(s)

26-Feb-07

I love this blog. As far as my projects go this is one that I enjoy quite a bit, and I hope you do as well. Based on those of you that are brave enough to stop lurking and leave comments make me feel like you do. My main goal is to help [...]

LoCo Fever is Spreading!

25-Feb-07

It looks like all of those posts to the planet concerning LoCo teams have found their way into my brain and taken over control of my body.  Err, I mean, uhm.. you get the idea.
I want to add my +1 to the call for volunteers for LoCo Docs day (March 3).  I know all of [...]

Paste-To-Terminal Keyboard Shortcuts

25-Feb-07

Update: as pointed out by SFA_AOK in the comments two more shortcuts have been added.
For ages man has toiled with pasting data into a terminal window by using the mouse. Right-Click, paste. Middle-click, Paste. Its all very tedious for all of us keyboard warriors. Those of us that are slowed down [...]

The Switch To KDE : Day 6

25-Feb-07

Today was a day full of meetings so I have been on this machine pretty much non-stop. It is even nearing one AM and I’m still here.. what a day.
During my full day on the computer things just didn’t feel right. I kept feeling restless, like I needed to tweak something or configure [...]

The Power of One : Reaching Out

23-Feb-07

Inspired by this previous post to the Planet I realized something that more of us could be doing in our Ubuntu advocacy that we might not. Welcoming new users into our worldwide and local communities early on. This can be a great way to keep them excited and keep them going with Ubuntu. [...]

The Switch To KDE : Day 5

23-Feb-07

I have yet again wrapped up another day using KDE as my main desktop environment.  Everyone has had some appealing arguments (and a few were heated enough to the point of deletion).  I have to say that both camps really do have quite a lot to offer.  I have come to appreciate some of the [...]

The Switch To KDE : Day 4

22-Feb-07
