GNOME Activity Journal 0.3.4 is out ! | With PPA for Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx

Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in News

Announced today by Gnome activity Journal team the release of GNOME Activity Journal 0.3.4. Since the previous release there has been a major overhaul to allow the journal to display Zeitgeist events which lack a local file as its subject. This means that, with the correct data-source installed, Journal now displays web-page visits, tomboy notes, telepathy conversations, and anything else submitted to the Zeitgeist log.



What is GNOME Activity Journal?

GNOME Activity Journal ((formerly known as GNOME Zeitgeist) is not a File Browser but an Activity Browser. It uses Zeitgeist to get information on what files/websites/contacts/etc. you worked with and Tracker to get information about the current state of the files and all sorts of meta-data (including tags).

 

New Since 0.3.3

Widgets:
– New timeline view that now based on a gtktreeview.
– Revamped multiple day view
– Better support for Dark themes
– Widgets using themes with pixbuf backgrounds are now drawn correctly
– Added a More Information window which displays a description of the event, its subject, and other events related to the event.
– Context menu now works in all widgets
– Improved rendering in thumbnail view

Core:
– Added a content object system which allows users to launch, view, and manipulate events with non-file subjects.
– Improved event request, and related event results.

As I understand it so do VLC use same encoders as ffmpeg. And yes, there are less code that can break when you use command line instead of a graphical UI.

And may I ask what mono has to do with VLC? *facepalm*

Just some thoughts about Java.

OpenJDK7 are now THE Java implementation and Oracles are just one more of the reimplementations. So you should not need to install Oracles version.

And you really don’t need to remove the OpenJDK7 installation to also have Sun Java JDK 7. Just run

sudo update-java-alternatives –list

and select which java you want to have as default java of all that is installed.

And if you want to run a program with one special version, check manpage for java-wrappers how to do that.

man java-wrappers

so you can run java program rasterizer like this:

JAVA_FLAVOR=openjdk rasterizer
JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx80m rasterizer

JAVA_BINDIR=/usr/share/

etc

Yes, it is. If you are a “5 years old schizophrenic kid” who can’t restrict what effects to use and what to not use. It’s actually usefull, if you can restrain yourself.

Agree with BA. You should teach how to remove telnetd from your servers, and tell them to use SSH instead.

And explain that telnet is not secured. It’s easy for anyone to see what you type in clear text or MIM-attacks.

Or you might want to add a kerberos version of telnetd and se to it that it denies any try without kerberos authorization.

The tool telnet is usefull, for example to explain how SMTP protocoll or HTTP-protocoll works by making the user be the client (mail client or web client).
But you do not need to install telnetd for that.

Can you resolve that name on your machine?

$ getent hosts server.example.com
192.168.0.10 server.example.com

Where this should be your IP-address and then all aliases for that machine (where you obviously change DNS name to your own. ;-)
