Ubuntu 10.04 window buttons location
Ubuntu 10.04 made a change that was not cool in my opinion. They moved the window buttons (maximize, minimize, ...) to the left of the window. I like many others prefer them on the right. Here is the command to move the back to the right.
gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
Use your Google Gmail account as a OpenID provider
Today I switched from claimid to my Google Gmail as my OpenID provider. It was really easy after I found the correct endpoints. All you need to do is add the blow code to head of your OpenID url.
So far I have not had any problems and my logins still work since they reference the same OpenID
<link rel="openid2.provider" href="https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud?source=profiles"/>
<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://www.google.com/profiles/yourprofilenamehere"/>
Fixed browser crashing on ustream.tv
I was having issues when I was visiting any site that used a webcam as input like ustream.tv. It looks like one of the IP Camera filters I installed (Link2Cam) was causing the problems. I was able to remove the filter by installing GraphSudio found via GraphEdit and unregistering Link2Cam.
To remove the filter:
- open GraphStudio
- Select Graph-> Insert Filter...
- Change the first drop down to Video Capture Sources
- Select Link2Cam
- Click Unregister in the lower right
I can now visit ustream in Firefox or Chrome without the page crashing. Details of the problem can be found on the flash kit forum.
Moving videos over to vzaar
I have decided to use vzaar as my new video host. Vimeo was great but as Paul Boad reported the terms of use are complicated.
This is not going to effect my blog too much since I don't post much but I do use it for my work and labs videos.
New Gear – Vibram FiveFingers
I got a new pair of Vibram FiveFingers yesterday and they rock. So far only tested them in soft sand but I think they are going to work for most of my trips and daily use. I forgot my card for my camera so only have pictures from my cell phone. I'll post some nicer ones when I get them.
YQL – EVE Metrics charting
Just completed a example of using YQL, EVE Metrics and jQuery to create Google charts. The page uses a open data table to get data from EVE Metrics via a jQuery AJAX request. Once the data is collected it is formmated to pass to a jQuery plugin to create a Google chart. The output looks like this:
Dynamic example. Just put in the EVE item id.
