Well here it is my first 64 bit real-time box running with the nvidia drivers!! and to top it all with kde 4.1.2
Awsome
Well its done using kubuntu hardy!
Seems to work great -The problem ive been having is hardware
Ive been using a intel dual core …. crap
Ive switched back to my amd chip and it is well better
I wont touch intel again ugghhh….

Pipex adsl is crap its unreal
I was on eclipse before pipex and my connection was ace but they had a strange problem with billing and they would forget to bill me for months and not worry and then sometimes forget a month and just chop me off! which is no good for my business.
So i moved to pipex as it said it was a 24/7 support and a business style connection
Well the tech support is 9-7 and the connection is modem speed its crap
Im gutted – I need to loose this connection FAST
Dont sign up to pipex its a load of bollocks.
Try eclipse thats what im going back to!

Java

Java may not work on all sites with this solution but it works generally, and it’s easy to install. Shut down Iceweasel and do this:

apt-get install java-gcj-compat-plugin

Thats it! Just fire up Iceweasel again and it should work.

Good luck!

This works on my debian 64studio install

Need to shred some files?
easy on debain get a prompt and get root – now type
apt-get install kgpg
then go to utilities and pim click on kgpg
this will install the shredder to your desktop and also make some gpg keys for secure email etc…

Now just drag the file you want to kill onto the shredder icon on your desktop and it will be deleted securely!!!
Linux power

Well i installed it I had to compile from source and i made some x86 and 64 bit deb packages with checkinstall while I was at it!! if any one wants a deb version just ask!!

Well for one thing i noticed the gtk version is better than the KDE version!! why?!!

And for linux i wouldnt waste your time its piss poor sorry google!!
But is meant to be cross platform! half the plugins dont work!!!

Id say install kde4 and use the widgets with that + with the widgets you can use mac osx widgets!

I found a couple of widgets that worked ok but it aint worth it! nice idea like???!!?

Testing my first blog using journal in kdepim 4.1.2
After a 2 day compile to get gentoo on my main box!!!

Google Gadgets is an open-source application which allows you to beautify your desktop using the huge number of useful gadgets Google provides. The project is still in development, so there is possible to have several bugs, but nevertheless, it works.

In order to compile and install Google Gadgets, first install the necessary development packages:

apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libdbus-1-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgtk2.0-dev libmozjs-dev libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev librsvg2-dev libxml2-dev libxul-dev xulrunner

Next, download the source from the project’s website. Uncompress it, change the current working directory to google-gadgets-for-linux-0.10.2 (or whatever version you have) and do the usual:

./configure
make
make install

make install as root. Google Gadgets should be built with both GTK and Qt interface, and to run it use ggl-qt for Qt or ggl-gtk for GTK.

Yes check this out!!
What a great idea.
