Much Awesomeness

I have recently discovered a couple of awesome developments which are worth mentioning:
  • The Awesome X Window Manager (awesome wm) is a light-weight, tiling window manager based on dwm. Similar to wmii or ion but seemingly more advanced and very easy to use. Version 2 is available from Debian and Ubuntu repositories so you can simply apt-get install awesome ... now isn't that awesome?
  • More...

Firefox, Linux and Flash Transparency

I just discovered this hack to make it possible to use html-above-embedded flash. I'm continually disappointed with Adobe and Mozilla for ignoring this long standing and very annoying bug. At least there is a hackish solution that will work for some but it doesn't really solve the problem, just helps only a little bit. Thanks to marcoos for figuring it out by reverse-engineering the google video site and thanks to google for providing the solution for our reverse-engineered pleasure . . . ;)
