Thing I Miss From Konqueror That Not Available on Nautilus
When I use KDE, konqueror is my best friend. I use it all the time. For viewing, browsing file, open some FTP site, browse windows's shared folder, etc. I browse text file most of the time. If I need to peek the content, I just need to hover my mouse to the file and a tooltip (large tooltip actually) will pop up with some file text content in it. See screen shot for reference. This one little feature is what I missed in nautilus. Is someone know how do I enable it or there's no such feature right now? If there isn't then I should have sent a feature request to gnome.
Gnome-Do: A powerful, speedy, and sexy remote control for your GNOME Desktop
Been using it for quite a long time and the experience is great!. Gnome-do is a launcher for pretty much almost anything you want to do. From the site, It say gnome-do is inspired by Quicksilver and GNOME Launch Box. I myself don't know what this two things doing as I never use it. But, with gnome-do I almost never use Gnome's Main Menu. Why? you might ask. Well, because I just need to press SUPER+SPACE and type what application or action I want, hit enter and there, what I want is laid out on my screen. Give it a try and tell me what you think?
Here's some example of how this little beast speed up my morning boot up. Every morning at work I'm working on a couple of files that need to be cleanup. Here's the sequence of how I get ready to filter the file before using gnome-do:
- Open up Firefox via Laucher in panel for downloading the file from gmail
- Open up Opera via Laucher in panel for processing the file in office's PHPMyAdmin. I always open my office related site using Opera
- Open up Nautilus via Places menu in panel for preparing file, creating new result dir, etc
- Open up Geany via
ALT+F2Run window for preparing the script for filtering the data - Open up FileZilla via Launcher in panel for uploading the unfiltered file to filtering server
Imagine how many mouse move there compared to this one when I use gnome-do:
SUPER+SPACE, type fi, hitRETURNto open firefoxSUPER+SPACE, type fil, hitRETURNto open filezillaSUPER+SPACE, type op, hitRETURNto open operaSUPER+SPACE, type ~, hitRETURNto open nautilusSUPER+SPACE, type ge, hitRETURNto open geany
This, along with embedded VTE in geany (I'll talk later about it) have greatly save my life!.
WordPress 2.6 Upgrade Experience
Dunno if others have this issue. I've just upgrade my wordpress installation to the newly released version 2.6 "Tyner" yesterday. I didn't check each page, just look at the frontpage and see that it's working. Install gear to have the "turbo" feature, test it and see some positive speed up loading progress.
