New Sylpheed-Claws theme 3
<a href=”/screenshots/sc-gtk2/sylpholution1.png”><img src=”/img/sylpholution_thumb.png” alt=“Sylpholution – new iconset for Sylpheed-[claws]” align=“left” /></a>
I want to have a GNOME-like iconset for Sylpheed-Claws to make it better integrated and here is the result: “Sylpholution”. It is based, as the name suggest, on the icons for evolution made by Tigert

Sylpheed-Claws compiled with GTK2 14
At least it seems to be on a way to stability: Sylpheed-Claws, fetched from cvs is avaliable and stable working with GTK2. This is a big step because now I can kick the GTK1-library, which bloats my system.
How to get it?
export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sylpheed-claws"
cvs login
cvs co -r gtk2 sylpheed-claws
cd sylpheed-claws
export WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.8"
./autogen.sh –enable-openssl –enable-gpgme –enable-spamassassin-plugin –enable-compface
make
make install
After that you can enjoy your GTK2-sylpheed-claws! Have fun.
Update:
There seems to be a lot of problems with the cvs, so I offered a well working snapshot

Four weeks alone … 0
… ok, ok not really alone, but the take off of my girlfriend to Ireland isn`t very
nice. There is only one question, why did she go exactly on my birthday? Not very nice but I make it ;-)

Playing with gDesklets 0
Today I spend much time playing with gDesklets. I`d a lot of fun and I wanna show you a nice Screenshot. The status-bar desklets are from the LT-Variations package, the nice wireless-lan desklet fresh from the Gnome CVS:
export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome"
cvs login
cvs co gdesklets-extras
gDesklets are written in python, using the pyGTK and gnome-python bindings. The gDesklets-bin is only a daemon, which handles the sensors (backends, also written in python) and displays (frontends, the stuff you can see on the screenshot). All Gnome users in the world should give a try to gDesklets, it is much fun in easy to handle. But you should have memory larger 265MB.

Random quotes in eMail-signatures 0
A next fine script is done. It reads a random quotes from a folder based db. It is created in Perl :-( I don`t like Perl but I don`t find a solution in other scripting-languages without creating a lot of bloat.
#!/usr/bin/perl
srand($$);
$sigfile = "/home/lars/zitate/lars.sig";
$quotedir = "/home/lars/zitate/";
opendir(SIGS, "$quotedir") || die "Folder of random quotes not found…" ;
@tops = grep(/^\w*\.zit$/, readdir(SIGS));
closedir(SIGS);
$top = int(rand $#tops);
open(TOP, "$quotedir/$tops[$top]");
while(&lt;TOP&gt;) {
print("$_ ");
}
print &lt;TOP&gt;;
close(TOP);
print("\n");
open(QUOTE, "$sigfile") || die "Signature not found…";
print &lt;QUOTE&gt;;
close(QUOTE);
Sadly my eMail-client is still in gtk1 and can`t work with utf8 (Sylpheed-Claws) but I find a solution to handle with this. I`ve created a script such like this:
#!/bin/bash
perl /home/lars/bin/sig.pl | iconv -t iso-8859-15
This script convert the random-signature in a usable charset

Easily backup files 0
Since today I have a very practical backup-function in my /etc/profile. I dont’t want to withhold it from you:
function backup () {
DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M)
if [ `echo $1 | grep "\."` ]
then
BU=$(echo $1 | sed -e "s/\(.*\)\(\..*$\)/\1-$DATE\2/g")
else
BU="$1-$DATE"
fi
if [ -e "$1" ] | [ ! -e "$BU" ]
then
cp $1 $BU
else
echo "$1: No such file or Directory"
fi
}
You can use this function by typing backup $filename. Then a copy of $filename will be created which is named in this style orginalname-date.ext.

Really strict cflags 0
While reinstalling my Laptop a played a little bit with CFlags to optimize my System quite well. I tried very hard flags, and no doubt, it works.
CFlAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fstack-protector -fprefetch-loop-arrays -funroll-loops -msse2"
There was one problem while emerging mod_php, so I remerged it withous the -fprefetch-loop-arrays and after that, it works good. System seems to be stable and fast! But I tried these hard flags on other platforms and they don`t work, so be warned using it.

Gnome 2.6 1
I wanna give you a short review of the new features in Gnome 2.6:
- Spacial Nautilus: a new kind of navigation concept, abutted on the finder of MacOS X.
[color=red]Tip:[/color] You can select the old browser-mode for default with - New gtk_file_selector(): file-selector is completely redesigned. It is fast, very usable and clear.
[color=red]Tip:[/color] Type <ctrl><l> while file-browsing to get a tab-completed prompt - New Applet for network-activity: You can see it in the top-panel next to the common system-information-applets on the screenshots below.
- Complete arabian translation: test it by yourself by typing
LC_ALL="ar_AE" epiphany - Better support for bidirectional fonts: With the new gtk+-version there comes better support for bidirectional fonts. You can see in while using Abiword or Gnumeric
- Some other important improvements…
gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser -t bool TRUEBut you should give the spacial mode a try!
Here are a few nice Screenshots of Gnome 2.6 running on my Acer laptop.
In general I could say, that this is the next step for Gnome on the way to heaven ;-)
OK, stop this solemn prattling but Gnome 2.6 feels smoother than 2.4, is really faster and nautilus get`s really usable. I think it is the most comfortable desktop suite.

MP - current status of my work 0
Currently I`m coding on some syntaxhighlighting-schemes for mp. Scheme for smb.conf is near to be ready and scheme for apache2.conf is in the beginning. It is not really funny, because of many object I have to find out, but it works.
Also today I detect a small bug in the gentoo-ebuild-syntax-scheme, It is fixed and will be included in the next release. If you want to try mp, visit Angel Ortega`s (Maintainer) Page http://www.triptico.com/software/mp.html
