Conky the power hungry monster
April 29, 2011 – 1:50 pm
I upgraded my mini laptop to natty today, and because of all the commotion about the extra energy consumption I opened powertop. Indeed the power seems to be higher, looking at the active task list, the kernel IPI was waking up the cpu 600 times a second. These ‘wakeups’ turned out to be caused by read more
GMPC MetaData Provider move
April 25, 2011 – 6:26 pm
Metadata providers for GMPC are in a constant ‘flux’, today I noticed that lyricsplugin change the api for their website, and the new one is not ‘publicly’ available. So now there is yet another plugin that people should not be using. To avoid this problem in the future I am working on the following 2 read more

GMPC, Now with extra bling
April 21, 2011 – 9:01 pm
This is something I wanted since I saw it on an ARCHOS music player. The implementation turned up differently, but it still looks nice. New gmpc feature, backdrops. GMPC will put a ‘darkend’ version of the artist image in the background of the now-playing screen. This gives an extra ‘bling’ to the now-playing view. See read more
GMPC: Still help required
April 17, 2011 – 9:25 pm
GMPC will turn 8 years old somewhere in the next few months (I do not know the exact date, I can only trace a 0.10 release of traymp (old name) to august). But I still need help, up to now gmpc + (almost) all the plugins where a one man show (me). Now that I read more
GMail gone bezerk
April 17, 2011 – 12:41 pm
My gmail gone bezerk. I just saw I have 10001 contacts. (I have like 50, that got duplicated like crazy). I do not get why, some of them where in there 50 times, other 20, others 1000+ times. I have deleted them now, but I need to see where it ends up, and if my read more
Natty: Switching to openbox
April 17, 2011 – 11:59 am
Because I still prefered my old openbox setup, I switched back from unity to openbox + tint2. But this gave me a few minor problems. For one, software-center, was not working anymore. I could browse applications, but clicking install did nothing. This can be fixed by adding the following line to your ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh: ?View Code read more
GMPC Command line
April 16, 2011 – 7:52 pm
I integrated the easy-command line into GMPC as a small command line. You can use this command line to quickly play a song, search for something, etc. This was already available in a popup, but I preferred to integrate it in the main GUI. Let me know if you think I should add more commands read more
