Flarp: a Gedit color scheme
Just thought I’d share the gEdit Color Scheme I’ve been using for awhile now. I’ve lovingly named it Flarp, in honor of this urban legend.
Installation:
Download it.
Put it in /home/yourname/.gnome2/gedit/styles
Fire up gEdit and pick the theme in Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts & Colors
Enjoy!

Why host your Drupal module/theme at Drupal.org?
Many reasons!
Larger User Base - Most users check Drupal.org first and assume the project doesn’t exist if it’s not there.
Consistency Is Understandable - It is much easier for someone new to Drupal to understand how to download and install themes/modules from a central location rather than 3 or 4 central locations

A Timeless Classic: The Sequel
Me: i hate YOU the most
Me: even more than you hate me
Erin: that's not possible
Erin: i hate you will all the hate in the world
Erin: there's no hate for you to hate me with

Throw this into your theme’s template.php:

Some lesser known Ubuntu/GNOME apps
I’m going to try and limit this to apps that everybody hasn’t already heard of. Most of these you can just apt-get, and most of these I use at least daily.
Shutter - A screenshot program. Supports windows, selections, the desktop, uploading to online image hosts, inline image editing, etc. Really slick.
Midori - A GTK + WebKit based browser. Extremely lightweight/fast and finally...

Drupal: change a menu item's class in module
So I just spent 3 hours writing 4 lines of code.
The problem: we need a way to make a certain “Approvals” link red if there are approvals waiting. This could also apply to making an “Inbox” link stand out if you have unread messages or whatever. Anyway, according to Google, this is something that has never been done before in the history of computing, so here it goes.

Teaspoon CRM
As a way to avoid being bored for too long, I built a really uber simple CRM. Since that’s exactly what the world needs.
