http://www.developerfriendly.com/taxonomy/term/45 The taxonomy view with a depth of 0. en http://www.developerfriendly.com/blog/awesomeness I have recently discovered a couple of <em>awesome</em> developments which are worth mentioning: <ul> <li> The <a href='http://awesome.naquadah.org/'>Awesome <em>X Window Manager</em></a> is an active 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 <em>apt-get install awesome</em> ... now isn't that awesome?</li> <li> Google has released an official version of <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/">Google Gadgets for Linux</a>. It's still early in development but the code is open source (Under the terms of the Apache License v2.0)... They don't offer pre-packaged binaries, however, it looks reasonably easy to build it. Once I have a few minutes to play I will definitely be talking about the experience. This is especially exciting for me because it's similar to the WidgetRunner project that I dabbled with over a year ago. The <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/wiki/HowToBuild">documentation</a> mentions XULRunner and Spidermonkey as dependencies so it seems like it's based on the Mozilla platform and <em>that</em> is awesome! </li> </ul> http://www.developerfriendly.com/blog/awesomeness#comments Awesome linux mozpad WidgetRunner XULRunner Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:22:24 -0500 20after4 63 at http://www.developerfriendly.com http://www.developerfriendly.com/node/48 I just discovered <a href="http://blog.marcoos.com/2006/07/21/html-div-above-a-flash-animation-on-linux-its-possible/">this hack</a> 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 . . . ;) http://www.developerfriendly.com/node/48#comments bugs flash linux Mozilla Wed, 02 Jan 2008 07:15:39 -0600 20after4 48 at http://www.developerfriendly.com
