Nope, this is not the latest post; the latest is below this one. This is a Welcome note to say thank you and I appreciate you coming here, intentional or not.

Some installers don’t come in the usual .deb package, or even .sh. Double clicking them doesn’t work either, although the makers said it’s an installation package.
That’s it. The installer should work now.

I learned about this add-on from Lifehacker.
Yey! Firefox finally has that awesome Chrome feature called Pin Tab that shrinks the chosen tab to show the favicon only – saving tab strip real estate. The awesome add-on that makes this possible for Firefox is called Pin Tab (weee!!!).
But, unlike Chrome’s Pin Tab, this one adds a few more features accessible via it’s Preferences dialog (Tools > Options).
Other features include letting you choose other methods of pinning the tab (see next image), merging pinned tabs when closing window, and preventing pinned tabs from being closed.
It’s still an experimental add-on though, so install at your own risk. I’ve installed it, and so far, it’s doing an uber awesome job at it.

Kudos to Lei for pointing this out in the comments. Apparently, Pin Tab changed its name to App Tab. Also, there’s another add-on called FaviconizeTab that does the same thing, only better (according to Lifehacker).

Avant Window Navigator, or AWN, is a superb dock that can be customized. I used it before then uninstalled it, then installed it again just a few weeks ago to try and make my Ubuntu resemble a Mac-like environment.
Anyway, these steps will teach you how to add a Lock Screen launcher to the AWN dock. There’s a Lock Screen applet that you can use, but that’s limited to panels only, and there isn’t a Lock Screen applet for AWN in its own list of applets.

Good news folks! I have something for you next week! LOLs Yeah, that’s right; it wasn’t Writer’s Block after all, even though I did have an episode months ago. As it turns out, I simply had nothing new to write.
Well anyway, I do now. Unfortunately, it’s not about Karmic. An officemate installed it and.. apparently there are some problems with it (audio not working, problems in Pidgin etc). Thank goodness for second thoughts – had I ignored them, I would’ve lost a perfectly working Jaunty installation.
I’ll just wait patiently for the Lucid Lynx. Five months to go! *sigh*
That said, I’m back to regular programming next week, and the week after that. Also, if you have, like something that you think will be a good topic for this blog, please let me know in the comments. I’m open for suggestions.
We all know I need something more creative; I should’ve taken units for creative writing.
See you next week!
I’ll be completely honest – I don’t have anything new to post right now. I have something lined up, but I’m having second thoughts as to whether to post it or just find a new one because.. I don’t know, I don’t think it’s catchy enough.
I won’t be writing anything for the rest of this week too. I haven’t installed Karmic yet, and I’m honestly having second thoughts about that too (damn second thoughts…), but, maybe I will this coming weekend, and then I may have something new for you till then. 
Sorry.
