Enoch 1.4.16 is almost ready for release on SuperD 1.11. If you want to help test it out, please download the file here:
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:
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.
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
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.

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.
No comment.
