GnomeShell/CheatSheet - GNOME Live!

GnomeShell/CheatSheet - GNOME Live!

I found this link to be helpful explaining many features of gnome-shell that aren't immediately apparent when you start using it.

Side note: I don't believe Ubuntu supports screencast recording as mentioned in the feature as "this functionality is currently missing in some distribution packages."


I really should get Arch up and running on a machine, I've been on Debian/Ubuntu for a long time (RedHat before that) and it would be good to know a different distribution than those two families. Plus, I'd rather be on a rolling release distribution...



Update: It works, it just works silently. Where the docs say it places a red icon on the screen to let you know it is currently recording doesn't work, at least in my case. Additionally, the file created is a .webm. I can understand why in an open source tool but I still wish it did h.264. Oh well, easily solved.

Barnes & Noble Nook WiFi review -- Engadget

I love my Kindle and evangelize it at every opportunity. Often people get to know me as the "eReader guy" and come to me for advice regarding the gadgets. Whenever someone asks me the "Kindle or Nook" question, my response has always been the same: They both are so close in features, some minor points in each device's favor, but overall, I feel like the Kindle beat a Nook in almost every way.

The size and shape of the device, the soft, contoured back, and the touch screen are all exceptional bragging points for the new Nook and I really like the improvements over their first generation device. I wish Kindle took as large a leap for...

The Smart Alec Backpack is cooler than you. Even cooler than: TOM BIHN

Photo curtesey of Tom Bihn and user maverick Ordered a new backpack . I'm kinda geeky excited. I've owned one of Tom Bihn 's messenger bags before, and I can attest to the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. I went with the Smart Alec over a Timbuk2 H.A.L. 2011 for both the simplicity of design and more importantly, molecularity of the inside; I can attach dedicated laptop protection or remove it for maximum empty volume for hiking or other activities. Now I have to wait for it to arrive!
