New on the market / Fresh from the repos

[machinebacon]

We can drop some new (free) Linux software here that we find while browsing (the net or the repos, for example via http://incoming.debian.org/)

Today I found this fucker: http://download.brackets.io/



Adobe's open sauce editor. [sarcasm]Very light, look, only 41.5MB for the .deb package.[/sarcasm] And still lacks a whole bunch of shit.

[dkeg]

I've been following brackets for quite some time now. Been only mac and win up until very recently. I think just sprint 29 had the linux version. I have been astray awhile from web development, so didn't jump on it.

so have you work with it much. thoughts? the fonts and colors in the side pane look shitty. crazy that last sentence you wrote. seriously? What do you normally use. i tend to use sublime in the past mainly.

[wuxmedia]

and how the hell did you attach a huge file?
i hate auto closing tags - nanos OK with me, once the html and css colours are in.
although geany works nice.

Nah Drew, I haven't bothered to download a 40something megabytes deb file for a fucking editor. I still use mcedit/nano (with a modified nanorc) most of the time (my beloved Scite depends on gtk3, FFS)

http://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?HomePage <- nice page, btw

Something more me gusta: http://zhar.net/projects/shell/

This is a collection of a few of my shell (and python) scripts that I've shared with others. Had them around on the site so I thought I'd give them a real home. Tried to add a bit of documentation in a comment at the top of each as well.

^sure, makes sense, not sure if it might have been just on test throw away box. anyway, not a nano fan, mainly b/c I keep hitting 'i' and 'esc' and ':w'. keeps messing me up.

You can find lots of interesting stuff - some new, some old - on OneThingWell. I'm sure most of you know about that site/blog already.

Was reminded of mpv today; https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv
I'm already using it on OS X (Homebrew) since March, and it's also in the AUR. Don't think it's landed on Debian yet, though.

[dkeg]

really interesting projects in there ... good share

[dkeg]

edit - you snooze you loose, good find and interesting, thanks!

[dkeg]

no awk yet, but this was where I was at. You can see the similarity, really no changes needed. Very very basic, but as they say, work in progress.

What a bunch of bloat for a bit of dirty chat :D

[ivanovnegro]

^ It is a piece of trash written in trashy Java. ;)

[machinebacon]

bitlbee for the win :D

I just started using st from suckless. I figure it is a good choice for dwm fans (and if you're a dwm fan, you probably already know about it...but I digress.

I built it from the git repo (because why not?) and the only thing that I didn't already have was libxft-dev for font rendering. Much like dwm, all of the configuration is done in a header before compilation. No sourcing .Xresources for colors, no creating gigantic configs and loops, just hack up the source to your liking and roll on.

The only thing I can say that I don't like about it is that it doesn't support scroll-back. On the other hand, with tmux, this is a nulled issue.

Hit the Debian repos already in August but nevertheless, gtk-theme-config for customizing your Gtk themes from a GUI. It will appear in Xfce settings. Of course it is bloat. Grillmeisters do that manually. :P

Good :) Thanks Meister

Pacifica Icons for those who want to (quote) "beautify their desktops" (eye @ beholder)

^Hmm, mixed feelings... on the one hand I like their clarity, but on the other hand "AHH, BRIGHT, MY EYES!" I would like to see this in a grayscale version, or even black & white.

Edit: icons are bloat.
