Talk To Me 1.2
Today I spent some time hacking on my irssi notification script - Talk To Me. Up until now it has relied on irssi running on your local computer for the notifications to work. For me that's a problem - I run irssi in a screen session on a remote server. Launching the notification commands on the remote machine would have no effect at all. Then I found this blog post.
It describes how you can set up ssh to forward connections to a port on the remote machine to a port on your local host. This connection is then used to transfer notification messages from irssi to a local daemon which listens on the specified port, and launches notify-send to display them. Neat 
So I decided to incorporate this feature into Talk To Me! Go have a look!
Program.dump
I've finally come around and collected some of the more or less useful programs and scripts I've got laying around on my hard drives. They're all located under my prog.dump page. I hope you might find them useful and/or amusing
My first major GNOME patch!
A while ago (may 06) I submitted a patch for a completely new user interface and backend code to the Change Password dialog of GNOME Control Center. It got accepted and recently (well, a while ago) I found that it was included in the latest release of Ubuntu! Hooray! My first major GNOME patch has hit the streets(?)
So if you're running a recent version of GNOME, go to System -> Preferences -> About Me and hit the Change Password button in the upper right corner. There you have it!
