Comment on NautilusSvn – Finally an SVN GUI for Linux that doesn’t totally suck by Tyler Mulligan

I believe that is more or less my

‘Finding my inner koala – Working on a 9.10 theme…’ (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138951) theme

Sorry for the poor organization but there are more up-to-date themes here:

http://z.nexuizninjaz.com/linux/themes/

http://z.nexuizninjaz.com/linux/themes/latest_tonez_103009.gnomecc is more or less what I’m using now, though I switched to kde 4.4 yesterday to give it a shot. So I’m looking more like this: http://doknowevil.net/files/kde4.4_me.png

At the moment I’m try to figure out if I can ditch the gnome/compiz combination for kde/kwin.

I’ve also tried RabbitVCS now. Thanks for recommending! Could I ask an off-topic question: Which Ubuntu-theme are you using in the screenshot above (http://www.doknowevil.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nautilussvn.png)? (In the case that you have not configured it yourself, that is). I really like the look of it. Thanks in advance.

Comment on The “easy” way to listen to internet radio in Ubuntu by Tyler Mulligan

Download the playlist to a folder, you can do this visually with your web browser, or using wget [ex: wget http://www.di.fm/mp3/electro.pls.

Then browse to the folder in moc and add it to the list with Shift+A

Thanks for the post,

I like the stripped down functionality of moc. How would you go about adding other music streams, such as shoutcast etc.?

Short one-liner: fortune | cowsay -f $(ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ | shuf | head -n1)

It’s probably more expensive than picking one random line number, but we’re dealing with a relatively small list of files, so it’s not that much of a downside.

Comment on deluge torrent – sort of like uTorrent for Linux by ambossarm

which version of KVIrc did you try?
KVirc is not too buggy, it is ubuntu delivering the second time a broken version.

Try a freshly build from http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~xt1/ubuntu/

Greetings ambo

Thanks for that great recommendation! I also started out using RapidSVN and it basically works but has a few rather annoying quirks and missing features. As I’ve also been a Windows user I find RabbitVCS very easy to use.

Comment on feh – lightweight command line image viewer and data tool by Tyler Mulligan

Tyler Mulligan — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:24:35 +0000

I’ve been using gThumb which seems to be just slightly more powerful than eog and can be configured to be more or less the same interface. I only use feh for mass dumps of image dimensions that I want to compare.

Did you ever find a lightweight image viewer, similar to feh, that displays animated GIFs? Your post seems to imply that feh does this, but I have had different results.
