KDE surprise

Posted by Jorge Bernal May 19, 2005

Sometimes I use kmail as my mail client, and today I’ve discovered one thing from the save file dialog.

KDE file dialog sowing PO previews

It’s shows some pie chart for PO files. I like the idea albeit the icons are not very nice at this moment.

Firefox bookmarks rock!

Posted by Jorge Bernal May 13, 2005

From a long time ago, I’ve been looking for some piece of software to manage my tons of bookmarks in an intelligent way. Some time ago I tried bbps, but I had to put the bookmarks by hand, so it was clearly not enough.

Some days ago, I was designing some kind of ubuntu sidebar for MOTUs, and started using the bookmarks sidebar. Today I’ve discovered the search function. I guess it has been there for a very long time, but I didn’t noticed.

BTW, if you care about the Firefox theme, it’s LittleFox, and with View->Toolbars->Customize... you can arrange (almost) all the items in a single (menu|tool)bar.
