Some of my discoveries during last few months...
If you ever encounter problems with installing Xmms2 and Esperanza client on Gentoo box, here is a solution.
Xmms2: (http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/wiki/Download_XMMS2#Source)
Esperanza: (http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/wiki/Client:Esperanza)
I usually install non-portage apps in /usr/local directory. I assume you unpack sources to /usr/local/src dir
Xmms2 uses waf build system:
cd xmms2-0.5DrLecter
./waf configure
./waf build
./waf install
Are you tired with phpMyAdmin? I found an alternative - SQL Buddy with much more prettier interface, and for simple tasks (like administering webpage database) running out-of-the box. Just unpack to your web directory, i.e. public_html in your home dir, point to it in your browser, and log in - no setup.
Many of us faced the problem of choosing right tool for creating personal/company web page. Many of us spent a lot of time of searching the Web for such a tool, forums, blogs etc. And after all, more or less successfull, you choose one solution.
And I choosed one solution, too.
Drupal, Markdown and Blueprint.
Why?
Many times I had to deal with documents with embed images, especially written in Word. Text only content is simple to manage and import i.e. to Scribus, however, when there are some images inside, it is not so clear how to import images too.
I spent lots of time of searching Web, and finally I found rather simple solution.
So,
Question: How to save images embed in Word documents?
Answer: Simply save the document as a html page. All images will be saved in a directory, which Word will automatically create.
I take a lot of photos. And one day I faced the problem of effcient managing them. I tried GQView, Digikam and Picasa (and many other apps, both java and php). And still - there are no apps for photo managing in Linux that satisfy me. However, for the simple managing I did what follows below.
I have a MyBook external disk and I created a huge (100 GB) partition only for photos taken by me, and taken with my Nikon D40.
Have you ever thought about switching to Gmail? The best mail ever? And what about your contact list? And what about your old mails?
I decided to switch do Gmail, not because of huge storage, but simplicity and speed. However, since I didn't want to lose all my old email from three or four accounts (or more, I don't remember) I had to found a solution for exporting them.
Exporting contacts in CSV format and importing them to Gmail is rather simple, hence exporting mails one-by-one by forwarding them to Gmail is not efficient, I tried another approach which is tricky, but simple.

nie ma to jak neohaiku;p niby nic nie mam do tego rodzaju wierszopisarstwa, ale jakoś ja taki tradycyjny pod tym względem, no, może z lekką nutką futuryzmu i 3M
a swoją drogą, każdy poeta powinien przynajmniej raz w życiu popełnić seppuku;p
Napisałem posta i kliknąłem tam gdzie nie trzeba z głupoty i nie zapisałem go. Był o poezji. Może powtórzę główne tezy...
Herbert pisał tak:
Jeśli tematem sztuki
będzie dzbanek rozbity
mała rozbita dusza
z wielkim żalem nad sobą
to co po nas zostanie
będzie jak płacz kochanków
w małym brudnym hotelu
kiedy świtają tapety
(Dlaczego klasycy, Napis 1969)
Koniec roku to zwykle czas podsumowań. Więc i ja podsumuję:) Czekam na dalsze propozycje:)
