    As some of you are aware, I experienced a moment of idiocy whilst upgrading my computer. I accidently overwrote my home folder with an ext4 partition. This idiot move cost me:

    • ALL progress I had made on my Nexus One theme
    • ALL progress I had made with my SuperD theme
    • Any new changes with my Enoch regular theme
    • ALL automation scripts I was using for theming

    Luckily, the SuperD progress was easy to fix. The Nexus One issues are not. I am having to start from square one with that. Also, the lack of my automation scripts and shortcuts are costing me a lot of time and menial work.

    If anyone knows RegEx+Bash, and is willing to spend some time helping this fool - I would be grateful. I'm trying to recreate a script that allows me to zip the CONTENTS of a folder, rename the zip, move the zip to the previous (..) folder, run a .jar on the zip, delete the original, and rename the new result. Would also be helpful if I could tack some of my current signing/optimization scripts on to it, and get visual feedback for progress.

    I know that's a lot, but it seriously save me roughly 45 minutes every release I make. That time adds up.

    I'm still working hard on making sure that this theme gets released on all the platforms that I said it would, but it will take a little time to catch up. Thanks for the patience.

    Firefox has been a big contender in the desktop browser game for a while now, but Mozilla has taken its time coming to the mobile arena. With a stripped-down Chrome running standard in most Android devices, it has been hard work outdoing the speed and simplicity the default browser has to offer. Steel was an early contender, but was soon purchased by Skyfire and has yet to be released again. Dolphin browser came along and offered tabbed browsing, multi-touch and some interesting social-network integration. xScope is a newer contender with added file-management, task-killing capabilities, and a couple of neat tricks under the hood.

    Fennec_logo

    Mozilla hopes to change the game with Fennec, their mobile browser. A public "pre-alpha" release came out today, which you can download here. It's still a little slow and buggy, and there are some
    special considerations as developer Vladimir Vukićević points out:

    This build should be considered “pre-alpha”, so there are some warnings and caveats:

    • We’ve only really tested this on the Motorola Droid and the Nexus One. 
    • It will likely not eat your phone, but bugs might cause your phone to stop responding, requiring a reboot. 
    • Memory usage of this build isn’t great — in many ways it’s a debug build, and we haven’t really done a lot of optimization yet.  This could cause some problems with large pages, especially on low memory devices like the Droid. 
    • You’ll see the app exit and relaunch on first start, as well as on add-on installs; this is a quirk of our install process, and we’re working to get rid of it. 
    • You can’t open links from other apps using Fennec; we should have this for the next build.
    • This build requires Android 2.0 or above, and likely an OpenGL ES 2.0 capable device

    Check out Vladimir's blog for more information, or continue below for my review.

  • Using Dropbox with Xfce

    Note: I originally posted this on PinkOnBrown.org, but it seems that NearlyFreeSpeech's servers killed it. :(

    Started working with my older laptop again, so I decided to install Xubuntu. Xubuntu is the Xfce edition of Ubuntu Linux. A big part of my computing experience is the portibility of applications like Dropbox or Box.net – easily being able to synch files on my various computers is of upmost importance. However, Dropbox is designed to work along with Nautilus which is the default file manager in GNOME…and the default window manager in Ubuntu. But not Xubuntu which uses Thunar as it’s file manager.

    Dropbox logo

    But, it’s no problem – by simply following the instructions below you can get Dropbox to work side-by-side with Xfce and Thunar. We will basically just be starting a no-frills instance of Nauilus which causes Dropbox to start. The explanation will mostly be relevant to Ubuntu/Xubuntu users, but can simply be modified to other distros.

    Sometimes I look behind the vinyl chairs before I sit down
    not trusting that something might not be there
    like treasure chests filled with apathy
    or cookie jars - or matrimony
    I let this wall come in to play
    as if, in my deluded mind, it would not be expected to hear the voices
    the heads bowed, cloakfacedarkness{}peaceunderstand, o O O O 1

    movement two
    hush now
    breathe in quickly fire breath displace
    the snake circuit mandala oroborus
    the breath fire balancing him
    aPathy .a. NO! Out

    circle the three
    hail jörmungandr hail eris
    w(ishing)(ashing)(orn)(retched)

    Don’t think badly of me, it is not my fault that the circle comes this way
    you saw the end and then the wheel turned over and here we are again
    remember the past forget the now creating the future
    and reverse
    reverse and
    creating the every single tiny droplet of blessed light this god this circle this spiral
    colorthoughtemotionvibrationbliss

    cthon - aha! BLISS|SSILB !aha - here we are again at the beginning of our lives the beginning of the none the circle the circling drainspirals upward bringing us up the elevator
    top floor Please? Please center yourself, good sir. Be kind enough to love every thought arising from that coiled serpent.

    It will be good,
    It shall be so
    So say we all
    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    And you were beginning to believe me.

    You mustn’t
    Believe me
    in the beginning which is the end which is
    .believe me.
    Here comes the puzzle here comes the edge REACH! AND THERE!
