Gnome-Art

Friday, February 8th, 2008

GNOME Art is a tool for downloading and installing GNOME themes from http://art.gnome.org/ website.
It provides a nice theme list with options to preview, download and install them.

To install ( under ubuntu ) just go to Synaptic Package Manager and search for gnome-art and install the package.

After you installed it go to System -> Preferences -> Art Manager.

Linux Display Drivers

Friday, February 8th, 2008

I’m not a linux guru, I just enjoy playing around with it. My favorite distribution is ubuntu because most hardware just works after a fresh install.
However, my videocard uses what they call ´restricted drivers

My videocard is an ATI X1600 and ubuntu offers the drivers, but I was unable to enable the visual effects within ubuntu 7.10

After a google search I found a program called ENVY that automaticly installs ATI & Nvidia drivers for you.
You can find it here ; http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

Not always right

Friday, February 8th, 2008

The customer is not always right is a very funny website about customers that either make your blood boil, tickle your funny bone or leave you totally confused.

Not Always Right is about leveling the playing field for those of us who toil and sweat every day trying to juggle demanding customers and often unreasonable corporate expectations. At the end of the day, it’s about remembering that whether we’re a customer or an employee, we’re all human, foibles and all.
