PluginPack for Pidgin

Always thought that the default plug-in selection with Pidgin was a bit too minimal but here is a PluginPack with no less than 51 plug-ins.

Pidgin Extra Plugins Capture

I couldn’t tell you which repository made this possible for me but you could give it a try. Just copy and paste the following into the console of your choice:

sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack

See No Evil (2006)

This film was not bad. But then again, not everyone share my humor. Funny guy, that beast. I thought he look like Tito Ortiz, only bigger and ugly.

I Don’t Like Super Karamba

I see many use Super Karamba. I don’t like Super Karamba because the eye-candy is not candy to my eyes. It look plastic, it look cheap. I have probably seen only one or two Super Karamba widgets that I actually like but similar features are available through other sources than Super Karamba so therefore I don’t think that it is worth an installation of Super Karamba. Why did I choose to write about this? I don’t know :-) . I suppose because from what I can see – so many like Super Karamba.

Print Screen – Kubuntu Gutsy

For some reason, I don’t know if it’s only my own Kubuntu Gutsy installation, did the Print Screen on keyboard never work since first installation but I found that there are ways to create keyboard shortcuts and one of these ways is located in Accessibility in the System Settings but I found another simpler way which is again in the System Settings, under Computer Administration and Keyboard and Mouse. Simply select Keyboard Shortcuts in the left menu and look up KSnapshot and assign the Print Screen button to it. For some reason neither way work on taking captures with the menu open. Perhaps the answer to this also lays in some keyboard command, I don’t know but if I find out I shall update on it, naturally. This capture below is a more clear description on how to.

Copying the howto here for myself incase that tutorial would disapear:

Gutsy Gibbon 7.10

  • Install the nspluginwrapper.

sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper

Open Firefox and visit a page that requires flash, for example [WWW] http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/. Install the plugin by clicking on “Install Missing Plugins…” on the yellow bar at the top of the browser window as in the screenshot below. The Epiphany browser will use the flash plugin installed from Firefox.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2

  • Install nspluginwrapper

add the respository from: [WWW] http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/repository/ Then Install

sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper gsfonts-x11

The Flock (2007)

I liked this film.

The Flock - Film Poster

THE FLOCK is the story of hyper-vigilant federal agent (Gere) who, while training his young female replacement (Danes), must track down a missing girl whom he is convinced is connected to a paroled sex offender he’s investigating. Working against the clock they unravel the twisted details to track the potential killer.

Now it’s winter.

I’m having trouble finding winter clothes that I want to wear and it’s just getting colder. The temperature is down to 22.1F / -5.8C and I have a large breed dog which means that it needs much exercise and it means much outdoor activities for the owner. I have at least found a hat! *Sighs*. I loath cold, I’m going to die of hypothermia.
