Using Geany’s VTE
As a PHP programmer and a linux user, I use shell a lot. You may asked, Why did PHP programmer need shell?. Well, I do use PHP, but most of it isn't for HTML coding. It's utilities for my job. Let's say, I depend a lot on PHP-CLI. My job involve, edit script, run it, edit again, running it again, and so on. You see how tedious my job is. But, using geany, I can cut time on switching between editor and shell.
Geany has built in terminal emulator. You can use F4 to focus on it or select it's tab on the bottom part of the editor. Press F2 to go back to editor area. And here's the best part, geany is able to execute your PHP file right into the VTE panel. Just use F5, and cursor focus will move to VTE then launch php "your.file.php". Brilliant feature!. Oh, and there's another use. I have several files on the same directory. With VTE, I can open it by executing command geany "file.i.want.to.open.php" and it'll opened on current geany instance!.
Disclaimer: All features and command described here is from the latest geany SVN trunk. I know geany that came from repository has VTE too, but I don't know how it handle PHP execution mode.
Clever Use of Alias
My friend, Rio has made a tutorial on how to write a bash script that use our own mother language.
So, instead of using this snippet:
echo -e "\n-------- CONTOH PERULANGAN ---------" for (( i=1; i<=5; i++ )) do echo -n "$i " done
We'll do it this way:
cetak -e "\n-------- CONTOH PERULANGAN ---------" untuk (( i=1; i<=5; i++ )) lakukan cetak -n "$i " selesai

Using Bash’s Command History
Are you a linux user? do you frequently use BASH shell? If yes, then here's some bash trick you could use to raise your productivity.
First trick is, the use of CTRL+R. You can search your history using this shortcut.
Just type the command you want and press ENTER when you found it, or press right arrow to change current selected command.
silent@hacked:~$ (reverse-i-search)`mang': ls -l /media/MIX/manga/bleach/
Second trick is how to execute previous command again and again. You can do this by using the one of the following trick:
- Press Up Arrow or type !! to select previous command and press ENTER.
- Press !-N, where N is number to select last N history and execute it.
Eg: !-3 will execute your last 3 history and !-1 will execute your last history. !-1 is equal to !! or Up arrow.
That's it for now. I'll cover more trick in another posting. So, stay tune.

Having so many folder on my home directory makes 
me need some way to distinguish it. Yes, directory name could to that. But, I need something more, some sign or emblem to be embedded within the directory images. Here's the plus value of nautilus came. Nautilus has a built-in support for adding emblem. To add it, you just have to go to Menu » Edit » Background and Emblems.... From here, we can drag an emblem and drop in on directory of our choice. Voila, you have emblem on your directory!.
Btw, using this window, we can add a background color or pattern to directory. But, you have to be in "View as icons" mode to be able to do it.
GPlurk – Simple Plurk Client
Since day one I use plurk, I always though it would be great if I don't have to open firefox only to plurk. Because it would consume more memory. I remembered that gambas has webbrowser component in it. So, I give it a try. Today, I'm ready to release it.
This project is hosted on google code hosting. To use it, you'll have to install gambas IDE first and you'll need linux. For ubuntu user, add this repository:
deb http://azores.linex.org/gambas-other/ hardy main
Here's a couple screen shot I've created:
