Notice: this is NOT the best way to achieve this. I have posted a much better way…
This is my first Gnome Shell extension… so that will not be a coding style gem, but it works for me and I think it’s quite useful, so…
The idea is to change the look […]
Ok, after the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 and the switch to Gnome 3, I discovered that my nice xfig thumbnailers stopped working. After a bit of struggle, I discovered why. The “gconf” mechanism of Gnome2 is being phased out, so now there is another way (simpler, when you know it) of doing the same thing.

So, you have a (big) collection of photo, and you want to rapidly browse trough them and select a subset for further consideration for, for example, printing or editing them. What I would like was that, while in the image viewer, with a simple key press I could copy the file to another, pre-chosen directory. […]
NOTE: this only works for Gnome 2. For Gnome 3, see an update here… What it is:

After that, try […]
I have finally (thanks to a kind of flu, really) found the time to update, quite rewrite, my gksyn plugin, a little gkrellm applet to control the touchpad present in most laptop. In the meantime, I discovered and re-discovered a couple of really nasty details when programming in Unix environment, like the buffering of the […]
I have a laptop (a Toshiba one, a 13″ nice thing) which is running more or less happily with Ubuntu Karmic. Lot of good things but some very annoying behaviour sometime. One of them is the fact that it resumes automatically when opening the lid and the AC plug is in.
I don’t like it. […]
I am out there in the wild searching for a CMS (Content Management System) system that can satisfy my needs. And it seems that it’s not easy at all.
What I’d like to have is a simple system that let me build a collection of pages, with a more or less fixed content, and all […]
Welcome to Romano Giannetti blog! This is just a start post. Please check my home page, there will be things appearing there.
Per ora, ho trasferito qui IHC Memories, il sito dove ho raccolto tre anni di ricette, suggerimenti e trucchi di cucina apparsi sul newsgroup it.hobby.cucina. I newsgroup sono, sembra, una cosa del passato, […]
