It lets you manage your ebook library, convert files to the Sony Reader format, tweak metadata about your books, manage the books on your Reader, preview the books. It will even download some newsfeeds and put them on your reader. It’s open source, written in Python and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS. It also contains command line apps to do format conversions and to transfer books to the Reader. It just plain kicks ass.

NOTE: libprs500 was recently renamed calibre. Different name, same awesome app.

GrowlEcho now supports an optional sticky attribute to create “sticky” notifications. Also, GrowlListener looks for a build property called “gbl.endsticky” which, if set, will cause the Build Finished notification to be sticky.

]]> Here is how I went about building a version of Emacs that has XFT support on Ubuntu 6.06.

Install the latest GTK Emacs snapshot:
sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot-gtk

Check out the emacs-unicode-2 branch into /opt:
cd /opt

sudo cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co -remacs-unicode-2 emacs

Configure and build:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-font-backend --with-xft --with-freetype --with-gtk --x-includes=/usr/include/X11 --x-libraries=/usr/lib/X11

sudo make bootstrap

sudo make

Update /etc/alternatives to point to the new binary:
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/emacs

sudo ln -s /opt/emacs/src/emacs /etc/alternatives/emacs
