MyBrute: Online Fighting Game
MyBrute is an online games where two character fight each other in an automated way. You can't interfere their fighting moment nor help your character fight better. It's just like putting bugs in a box and watch they fight each other. Nothing more.
SubDownloader
Minggu-minggu terakhir ini saya sering banget download film via torrent. Sebagai orang Indonesia yang gak terlalu jago listening english, otomatis butuh subtitle dong. Nah, dulu, ketika butuh subtitle tujuan utama pasti google dulu. Tapi, sulitnya cari di google itu, sering kali subtitle yang ditemui tidak cocok dengan film yang ada. Kadang terlalu cepat, kadang terlalu lambat. Istilahnya, gak singkron antara suara dengan subtitle yang keluar. Solusinya bisa aja sih di singkronkan pake software2 subtitle yang banyak beredar di Internet (kalau pakai windows) atau tinggal apt-get install.
Ubiquity
I forgot since when did I install this firefox extensions. Because from time to time I always got new ubiquity extension update notification. Up until several days ago, I still don't really know the full capacity of it. All I know is CRTL+SPACE invoke it's window. Taken from the main site
Ubiquity is an experiment into connecting the Web with language in an attempt to find new user interfaces that make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily. It's a Firefox extension, so it works on Macs, Windows, and Linux.
With only a couple keystrokes, it lets you use language to instruct your browser. You can translate to and from most languages, add maps to your email, edit any page, twitter, check your calendar, search, email your friends, and much more. All without leaving the page you're on.
Hmm.. this is looks interesting!
Aqualung
If you are frequent reader in this blog, you may know that I'm an amarok user. You may ask, why a gnome user use amarok as it's music player. Well, up until now (or yesterday to be exact) I don't find a good and intuitive UI that match my need. All player that I tried either have too much feature that make it's UI very complicated or it doesn't have a good way to manage play-list the way I want. While the other have GUI that use skin that I don't feel comfortable using it. Yeah, I'm talking about xmms and the like of it.
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!.
Stjerm: Gnome Quake Style Terminal
Sudah cukup lama saya pakai yakuake di KDE. Sekarang, setelah menggunakan ubuntu hardy dan mencoba untuk stick with gnome. Saya sebenarnya pengguna setia KDE, jadi setiap habis install ubuntu, selalu ganti ke KDE. Saya kesulitan menemukan pengganti yakuake. Saya senang yakuake karena feature transparansi-nya. Sebenarnya ada sih, tilda. Tapi, rasanya kok berat sekali ya setiap pakai transparansi. Akhirnya, setelah googling sana-sini, saya ketemu stjerm. Hihihi, namanya aneh. Coba-coba pakai apt-get, wah sudah ada di repository, asiiik. Tinggal wah, gak ada di repository. Meluncur ke get-deb, asik adaaa. Download, lalu sudo apt-get install stjermsudo dpkg -i stjerm_0.11-0~getdeb1_i386.deb.
Setelah mencoba sebentar, ternyata memang benar seperti yang di katakan developernya di forum compiz-fusion:
It's point is to be minimalistic, to look nice and to work well with Compiz.
Memang, stjerm ini benar2 minimalistic, bahkan window untuk configurasi pun tidak ada. Hanya disediakan halaman manual untuk keterangan command-line parameter dan konfigurasi di file ~/.Xdefaults. Sudah, itu saja. Tapi, gak masalah, yang penting RINGAN. Kalau bingung dengan konfigurasi, di Helpful Linux Tidbits ada tutorialnya.
