A Note-Slinging Dynamic Duo
,----[ Quote ]
| Using two note-taking applications in
| tandem -- Basket Note Pads and QToDo --
| leaves the user wanting for few, if any,
| additional features. Basket's extensive
| use of tags is a real plus, and its
| always-on nature makes quick access a
| breeze. Meanwhile, QToDo shines in task-
| tracking. Perhaps merging both sets of
| functions into one app would create the
| ideal note-taking environment.

Roundup: Text Based Text Editors
,----[ Quote ]
| For some reason, text editors are
| something that us Unix geeks get very
| passionate about. Whether itâs an argument
| over which editor is better, or just
| professing our love for our favourite
| keyboard shortcuts, itâs an emotive issue.

Linux for Professional Photography
,----[ Quote ]
| When browsing and culling a folder of RAW
| files (in my case Nikon NEF) Irfanview is
| exceptionally fast as it reads the
| embedded JPEG preview rather than
| interpreting the RAW data. The preview
| file is a full resolution file, but
| compressed with "basic" JPEG quality. When
| you shoot RAW files and review the images
| on the camera's LCD, it's the preview
| files you're looking at.
|
| Irfanview is also fast and intuitive for
| batch functions such as resizing images
| and IPTC captioning.
|
| For the first time since switching mostly
| to Linux almost two years ago, I can do
| all my image editing in Linux without
| compromise, even for the most complex
| professional jobs.

| Say hello to another, then, as we peek at
| GMailWatcher - a simple Messaging Menu
| application for alerting you to new mails

GIMP Plugin Registry 3.5.1 Gets ~129 New Plugins
,----[ Quote ]
| A new GIMP Plugin Registry version was
| released today in Debian - 3.5, which
| failed to build under Ubuntu (because of a
| Python bug in Ubuntu Karmic and Lucid).
| After exchanging lots of emails with Bernd
| Zeimetz, the Debian maintainer of the GIMP
| Plugin Registry, he was able to locate the
| issue and fix it so Ubuntu users can enjoy
| these new plugins already. That's why he
| released yet another version today -
| 3.5.1. And as always, the latest version
| is now available in the WebUpd8 PPA.

Maestro, strike up the MIDI
,----[ Quote ]
| The Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) is

| receives MIDI events from other programs
| or external devices, displaying note
| events as highlighted piano keys,
| indicating control change events by moving
| the knobs in the toolbars, and so on.

6 More of the Best Free Linux Finance Software

| We have all read stories about people who

| food, washing in the river, using a solar
| panel to provide electricity, and
| bartering for certain goods and services,
| these adventures have met with limited
| success. However, for us mere mortals the
| simple fact is that we need money. Money
| to buy food, to purchase clothes, to pay
| our bills, as well as indulging in our
| other infinite wants and desires.

Nip2 spreadsheet-like graphical image manipulation tool front end to the VIPS package.
,----[ Quote ]
| VIPS is an image processing system
| designed with efficiency in mind. It is
| good with large images (images larger than
| the amount of RAM in your machine), and
| for working with colour. It can perform
| many image manipulation tasks much faster
| than other packages such as ImageMagick
| and the GIMP and includes some special
| features such as creating single "mosaic"
| images from multiple parts.

HandBrake: The Best Beginner DVD Ripper
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems like I have a lot to talk about
| these days when it comes to digital media,
| and this article is no exception. As I
| discussed in a previous article, I feel
| that physical media (CDâs, Blu-Ray, DVD)
| is going away and in the future digital
| media will rule all. While this is a
| blessing since less shelf space would be
| taken up by stacks of media, it is also a
| curse since companies will likely push
| DRM. However, what if you wanted to adopt
| digital media on your own terms, using
| free software? Well, Handbrake is here to
| take care of digitizing your DVD
| collection.

Re-conquer Konqueror with Rekonq
,----[ Quote ]
| The description of Rekonq is simple: the
| Konqueror browser using the WebKit engine.
| But itâs not quite that simple. Rekonq
| will be the new default browser for
| Kubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). This is
| a new project that will, hopefully,
| overcome some ofthe shortcomings of the
| current Konqueror browser. And in this
| article we will take a look at this new
| browser so all the Ghacks readers will be
| prepared when it lands on the new KDE
| desktop.
