Epiphany Browser Review

Today, while searching the web for any potential extra Epiphany plugins, I came accross a couple of blog posts, which, when combined together, they make a great review of my beloved web browser. Until today, I thought that falling upon Epiphany reviews was one of the rarest things to happen to me, so I decided [...]

Print to CUPS printer instances

This Nautilus script was written because gnome-print does not list the user-defined or system-wide CUPS printer instances in the printers list. "Printer instances" are just sets of settings, so that a user does not have to type them for every print. Check the CUPS documentation for more info. So, in order to use your defined [...]

Gnome-blog-poster works, but there seems to be a bug (or a feature ;-)?): If I select “Self-Run WordPress” as a Blog-Type it always appends “wordpress/xmlrpc.php” at the end of the XML-RPC URL resulting in an error message about the URL being wrong.

GNOME 2.12 is out, but…

GNOME 2.12 stable is out and NRPMs has a set of RPMs for FC4. I’m hesitant though to do an upgrade from a non official repository. I need some more info about these builds before I actually upgrade. A taste of GNOME 2.12 here
