What annoys me about the Awesome Bar

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

As I’ve written before, I’ve been using Firefox 3, and as with everyone else, one of the first changes I noticed was the Awesome Bar. At first I didn’t really knew what to think about it, and then it started to annoy me a bit but when I changed my mindset and started using it […]

Upgrading to Firefox 3

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

I’ve been using Ubuntu Hardy Heron since I got my new laptop (ended up getting a refund for the CR-21 and got a CR-31) but when I tried to start Firefox 3 it complained that the majority of my extensions weren’t FF3 compatible. I didn’t really had the time to investigate the issue so I […]

Some thoughts on Gnome’s little apps

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Last night, after a tweet by Levi I decided to give another try to Tilda. In case you never heard about it, Tilda is a pulldown quake like terminal for Gnome, which would be something just great for me.
I had tried Tilda some months ago, but it was totally bug ridden and it didn’t respect […]

Weird Firefox/Google Reader/whatever bug

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Over the past few days I’ve been experiencing a really annoying bug on Google Reader. I’m not sure if it’s actually related to Firefox or Google Reader, but I’ve tried in Opera and it’s not happening, at least not on the same way.
Suppose I’m reading my feeds and I want to open some item. I […]

Sony Vaio VGN-CR21 S

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Like I said in my previous post, I bought a new laptop. And no, it’s not one of those fruit laptops. It’s a white Sony Vaio :p
Of course I installed Ubuntu on it right away, and I actually thought most things would work out of the box here, according to someone on Ubuntu Forums, but […]

Gnome’s rant #1: Drawers

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Dear intarwebs:
Why are drawers in Gnome’s panel so damned slow ? Seriously, I know my computer is not exactly fast by today’s standards but why is something so simple as a stupid drawer so slow ?
I guess I’m gonna start writing about these stupid little things which annoy me on software I use more often. […]

What I think about Apple

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

A recent discussion on the prt.sc internal mailing list about Apple fanboys made me think I should write something about this. I was never accused of being an Apple fanboy or an Apple hater and that’s because I am neither one or another (I was already accused of being fanboy and hater of other things […]
