This morning Ubuntu Tutorials made the front-page of LifeHacker in regards to installing Gnome-Do Plugins. Based on some of the feedback on the past few Gnome-Do posts I’ve updated my plugin. If you have been using the old-version you’ll likely want to replace your current apturl.dll with this new version. The new code is much… Read More »

Yesterday I started using an application called Gnome-Do, which I have to say is awesome. If you’ve used Quicksilver on OSX or Katapult on KDE its really similar. It’s a quick-launch tool to get you what you need as fast as possible (but not faster, of course!). It allows you to quick launch desktop applications… Read More »
I was sitting here this afternoon trying to come up with something to blog about. Looking at some of the wiki work I’ve done recently I realize I’ve made a good use of the gconfool-2 for customizing the GNOME Desktop all from the shell.

Not too long ago I blogged about the ability to quickly open a terminal session from within nautilus and a handy right-click. If you missed it you might want to take a look back here. In today’s post there is a similar very easy way to quickly resize or rotate images with a simple right-click.… Read More »
Among the many cool things that I’ve learned this week at Ubuntu Live there is one that I’m definitely going to keep using! Quickly, before I get started, I need to link back to the Ubuntu Forums post that started this whole thing. There is also a lot more examples and extensions on the wiki,… Read More »

This will allow you to only show the native apps in the menus within each desktop environment instead of showing everything. update: I wrote a script to automate this process. If you’d like to use that instead it is… Read More »
As promised today I will show you how to disable the gnome-terminal F10 key so you can better use it within applications like htop. I don’t recall why I didn’t post this when I found it a few weeks ago.. probably just busy with work. I’ll try to do better next time 🙂 To disable… Read More »
