Dan pikiran buruk akan membawa hal-hal yang buruk pula. Film…

Bagus mana sich tampilannya ama Windows 98? Ama Windows XP? Ato Vista? Saya nggak akan komentar tapi Anda mulai saja menilai sendiri, OK!? Gimana, PUAS … PUAS … !??!!…

Google Picasa: Best Photo & Image Management Application for Linux

I hope to have said otherwise, but in my opinion the best image/photo management software for Linux is Google’s Picasa. If you haven’t known yet that Picasa is available for Linux, well so did I. It was surprising for me, but I was really glad when I found out about this. F-Spot and DigiKam is…

Minuman Cincau Yeo’s

Lagi jalan2 ke Alfamart, eh secara nggak sengaja ngeliat minuman cincau Yeo’s alias Yeo’s cincau drink alias grass jelly drink. Kayanya menarik, karena seorang teman saya memberitahu saya tentang manfaat cincau alias janggelan (kata orang Jawa) bagi kesehatan: Sebelumnya memang pernah beli Cincau Drink merek Wong Coco. Kali ini akhirnya si Yeo’s “terpaksa” saya beli…

GwenView: Image Viewer with Added Steroids

GwenView is a very good image viewer for Linux. It loads quickly, has a nice user interface, and has most of the more useful features of ACDSee. Among the features it provides are: full screen, preview, thumbnail view with details, and loads of image effects (sepia, blur, and the like). It’s definitely sufficient for any…

NoteCase: Simple Hierarchical Note-Taking Application

NoteCase is a hierarchical note-taking application. It’s amazingly similar to Gjots2, but it seems Gjots2 has a bit more features. NoteCase doesn’t support formatting nor hyperlinking. You can use it to make outlines, but perhaps nothing more. My take? I prefer Tomboy. 🙂 Update: The version I reviewed is an old version that’s unfortunately bundled…

GNOME Commander: Two-pane GUI File Manager

GNOME Commander is a fast and powerful graphical file manager for the Gnome desktop environment, it has a “two-pane” interface in the tradition of Norton and Midnight Commander. I’m sure it’s quite powerful, but as you can see in the screenshot, in the theme that I use for GNOME, GNOME Commander displays some very oversized…

Krusader: Powerful Twin-Panel File Manager

It provides all the file management features you could possibly want. Plus: extensive archive handling, mounted filesystem support, FTP, advanced search module, viewer/editor, directory synchronisation, file content comparisons, powerful batch renaming and much…

File-Roller: Zip/Compressed Archive Management

File Roller is the default Zip/Compressed Archive management tool on Ubuntu. The UI is clean and to-the-point. The features are sufficient for most day-to-day use, but for anything more advanced, I guess you’ll need to use the command line or other tool. To be honest I haven’t yet seen an advanced enough GUI for compression…
