Too many screen/window options

Using Ion, the window manager is neat, but is too confusing for me. It ends up being another arbitrary disvision. I have emacs, with multiple buffers running, Mozilla with tabs, screen, and combinations of these running in an SSH session to other machines. It is probably because I am just not organized, and have not developed a system to keep track of all this. So I always end up in the wrong workspace, frame, window, whatever. I'll keep looking.

The laptop is here!

I received my laptop, and it works great! It's vpr Matrix 175B4. It is pretty light, and the screen at 14 inches is just fine. Its very clear and bright. I think saving a pound of weight was worth getting the smaller screen. I have installed Debian on it. I upgraded to unstable, and installed XFree86 4.2.1 which includes the radeon driver which works with the ATI Mobiliby 7500. I haven't had a chance to get any of the other hardware working under Linux yet.

Getting to know twingle

There is a short introduction to twingle now available. Twingle is a project to create a user interface based on Mozilla for use with open source CMSs.

Laptop Linux Links

Some links I will need to read, now that I have purchased a laptop. Hopefully it will actually get shipped. I ordered a vpr Matrix 175B4. Its a nice 5.4 lb system that is fairly powerful. I need to add same RAM which is offered for very afforable prices at crucial.com. I also want to add 802.11b wireless networking, but I don't have an access point, so for now, I can wait.

Okidata Okipage 6e support under linux.

Nothing to see here, just my notes on making my printer actually work.

Setting PCL mode

From Google Groups posting: In order to print with the okipage 6e you have to put it into PCL mode. To do this you can either issue the command: echo -ne '\033%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL\015\012' |lpr before printing. (I put the command in rc.local)

Or you can use the Win98(does it work in Win2K?) utility that in installed with the printer drivers.

Stuff I installed

CUPS, parallel support in kernel, possibly cupsomatic-ppd

Don't forget the ircblog!

Just a reminder to anyone interested in stuff I am interested in: many of the good links are over at the #openacs irc weblog. I spend a good amount of time there, and it is much easier to post links there and have the chump bot pick them up. I usually am sharing the links with the folks in there anyway, so no need to type a URL twice. As a bonus other visitors to #openacs also post interesting links or varying levels of actual usefulness to web programmers.

Open Source Content Management

The Third Open Source Content Management Conference is being planned. This time it is in Cambridge, MA, conveinently close for me. So I hope to attend. One of the exciting ideas behind this conference is the open planning process. They want to do as much planning of the conference as possible in the open, which means on the mailing list or weblog for the conference. The other really exiting idea that OSCOM promotes is interoperability betweeen Open Source CMSs. More news to come.

Back to basics

I have been trying out the Ion window manager. It is a tiling window manager. No more overlapping windows. I never could get the hang of that. The one I wanted was always someplace inconvenient.

Ion solves this be ensuring that all windows open in a worksapce fill the entire screen. If you are familiar with emacs, it feels like using emacs for a window manager. You can access every command using the keyboard, which is very fast if you can get used to working that way. This is the total opposite of my previous window manager, xfwm. It is stable and I really like it. If you use emacs and prefer the keyboard to the mouse for most operations, give it a try.
