Two Minimalist Linux Text Editors That Make Writing Easy
,----[ Quote ]
| It took decades of writing, but Iâve come to
| a realisation: word processors do way more
| than what I need. Programs like Microsoft
| Office and Open Office are intended for
| laying out content visually to be printed on
| sheets of paper. You can use them to format
| text in your desired font, to add tables and
| even graphics.
|
| [...]
|
| For my day to day writing needs I use
| PyRoom. This isnât to say Iâm not impressed
| with WriteRoomâs feature set â itâs just
| that PyRoom is GTK based and Iâm a Gnome
| user. The fact that thereâs a solid option
| for both major desktops is great, thoughâ
| that sort of choice is no small part of why
| Iâm a Linux user in the first place.

Two task organizers
,----[ Quote ]
| I like TreeLine for having a polished
| interface and a structured feel to it, but
| neither it nor beeswax (or Agenda, to be
| honest) is likely to dethrone hnb for me any
| time soon. TreeLine is clever and
| attractive, but seems unnecessarily mouse-
| driven, or overcomplicated for things like
| checklists. And like I said, beeswax doesnât
| really feel like itâs finished.
|
| So hnb by comparison is just too fast and
| easy. Right arrow makes a new branch. Start
| typing and a new item is added. You can
| embed checklists in standard hierarchies.
| Copy and paste throughout the tree. Export
| into several different formats, including
| HTML.

MPlayer Now Supports Most HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Codecs
,----[ Quote ]
| This news is coming a few days late
| (MPlayer's web-site lacks any RSS or
| syndication support), but the latest
| MPlayer code in their SVN trunk now
| supports most HD-DVD and Blu-ray codecs.
| Earlier this year we talked about possible
| Blu-ray support for FFmpeg and developers
| becoming more interested after we
| interviewed the FFmpeg developers and there
| ended up being an outpouring of support by
| our readers offering up Blu-ray drives and
| other forms of help.
