One of the best feature that is available in BlackBerry PlayBook is the capability to run Android applications, thanks to Android Player. Although not all applications are able to run in BlackBerry PlayBook, the android player in BlackBerry PlayBook is still pretty decent and a nice feature to have.

You can get Android application running in your BlackBerry PlayBook by either installing them through the AppWorld (yeap, some of Android Application are available in AppWorld) or your can manually install Android application to your BlackBerry PlayBook.

Now, I won’t be explaining how to convert Android .apk file to BlackBerry PlayBook .bar manually using your PC or Mac nor I will explain how to load/install converted Android .apk file to your BlackBerry PlayBook as its already explained in detailed here:

http://crackberry.com/how-sign-convert-and-install-android-files-your-blackberry-playbook-using-windows-or-mac

If you read that post from the link above, the process can be troublesome although it is true that once you have everything required to do the process manually set-up in your PC or Mac it will be faster to do it, especially if you have a lot of Android .apk files to convert. But if you are just too lazy to do all those things required to do it manually, you can use an Online Service that will do the converting process for you. All you need to do is upload the Android .apk file and it will convert it to BlackBerry PlayBook .bar for you.

Apk2Bar – http://apk2bar.unker.net/

Note: The site itself doesn’t mention the size limit of Android .apk file that you can upload, so I don’t really know if there is size limitation. If you know about it, do leave a comment here to let me know.

Apparently as far as I know, this problem is caused by a bug in QT related to Icons issue, where as of the time when I wrote this post there is no update to fix the problem yet. However, the missing toolbar icons problem in ReText can be manually fixed easily. Now before you proceed further, I’ve only tested this fix in Linux Mint LXDE 12 so there is no guarantee that this fix will work or is applicable in other linux distros, although I’ve read that this fix can also be applied on some other distros such as Xubuntu, so just give it a spin.

Just a head up before you try this solution, it relies on gconftool-2 or gsettings in order to fix the problem, so if your system does not have it, you might want to find an alternative or other ways to fix the problem.

But to save your time from trying this fix, take note that your system need to have gconftool-2 or gsettings in order for this fix to work.

So, fire up your favorite terminal and enter the following command:

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme

or you can also enter the following command but you don’t need to enter both:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme

Whatever command that you enter, the Icon Theme name that your system/desktop currently use will be printed out in the terminal, the only difference between the two commands is that the later will enclose the Icon Theme name with single apostrophe. Like so:

Result of the first command:

Result of the second command:

So take note of the Icon Theme name printed out on the terminal (never mind the single apostrophe) or copy paste it from the terminal and enter the following command into the terminal:

leafpad ~/.config/ReText\ project/ReText.conf

Note: Notice that from the command above we are going to edit ReText configuration file, hence if the folder/directory and configuration file does not exists just create them, but make sure that you enter the correct name for both the directory name and configuration file, and since it’s linux, unlike windows it’s case-sensitive.

By default the configuration file should be blank, but if for some reason it contain entries, nevermind the contents inside it. To fix the problem, add the following lines into the configuration file: (if it already exists just modify the entry)

[General] iconTheme=<input your Icon Theme name here>

For example, earlier my current Icon Theme name is ‘Mint-X-Dark’ hence I would enter the following lines:

[General] iconTheme=Mint-X-Dark

That’s it! Save the file, close the text editor and open ReText. The icon should be displayed properly this time.

Bored with your current LXDM background and want to change it to something else? Don’t worry, it’s very easy to change it! In fact all you need to do is to modify a single line.

For this example I’m using Linux Mint 12 LXDE which of course uses LXDM as its default Login Manager. So if you’re using other distro, the configuration file that we are about to edit later on may be slightly different in term of its structure and contents.

We are going to modify lxdm configuration file (default.conf) which is located in /etc/lxdm, so fire up your favorite terminal and enter the following command:

sudo leafpad /etc/lxdm/default.conf

Change “leafpad” there to your favorite text editor: gedit, vim, nano, or anything…

A configuration file with the following content or if not something similar should be loaded in your text editor:

A configuration file with something that looks like the following or if not alike (provided that you are also using Linux Mint) should be loaded into the text editor:

[base] # autologin=dgod
session=/usr/bin/startmintlxde
# numlock=0
greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk

[server] # arg=/usr/bin/X -nr vt1

[display] gtk_theme=Clearlooks
bottom_pane=1
lang=1
theme=Mint-LXDE
bg=/usr/share/backgrounds/linuxmint-lisa/gelsan_green.png

[input] [userlist] disable=0
white=
black=

At this point you should have notice which line to change already in order to change your LXDM background, but for the sake of those who don’t know :P, what we need to change is the “bg” entry (notice the line that I highlight in bold).

Which in my case is line #15 with the following entry:

bg=/home/sebastian/.lxdm/themes/wall1.png

So edit that line so that it point to the image file that you wanted to use as your LXDM background:

bg=<path to your image file>/<your image file>.png

For example:

bg=/home/sebastian/.lxdm/themes/wall1.png

Note: I’ve only tested PNG and JPG image files for the new LXDM background, hence I don’t know if other image file formats will work, so feel free to test it at your own risks.

Save & close the file when you’re done. And in case if you didn’t notice, you need root privilege to edit the configuration file (notice that I used the sudo command).

The post Change LXDM Background appeared first on svenBit.

But then when I wanted to change the date and time, I cannot find any option from either the “Preferences” or “System Tools” menu at all to change the date and time. I think they forgot to include this option by default.

Anyway, after I tried to post and ask about the matter at Linux Mint forum where after a few hours no one replied at all (maybe I should wait for a little longer for someone to reply, but.. gah.. I just can’ wait), so I decided to try and figure out the problem myself.

So, I figured out two ways to change the date and time, by using command line or installing the missing date and time configuration GUI in Linux Mint LXDE 12.

The Command Line way

Changing the date and time using the command line is not that difficult either, you can use the “date” command to change date and time. So, open up the terminal of your choice. I’m using lxterminal in this case since it is the default terminal in Linux Mint LXDE version and type in the following command to get the current date and time:

date

Yes, as simple as that! and the current date and time will be displayed in the terminal as shown in the screenshot below:

So, to set a new date and time, we are going to use the same format as above but this time change the date and time to any date and time that you wanted, just keep the formatting intact, and oh, don’t forget to use the “sudo” command this time. For example, I’m going to change the date time to ‘April 5, 2012 21:00′:

sudo date -s "April 5 21:00:00 2012"

Notice that you can safely leave the day and timezone (WIT) when setting for a new date and time using the above method, if you did not specify the timezone, it will use the same timezone as the previous date and time.

And oh, you can also set the date by using the “date” command by using another method using the following sequence: month, day, hour, minute, and followed by year. Take note that everything should be in numeric (digits). For example, to set the date and time to ‘April 5, 2012 21:00′ using this method, I would type in the following into the terminal:

sudo date 040521002012

Either method that you use, your system date and time should be set to the new one now.

Installing the Missing Date and Time Configuration in Linux Mint LXDE 12

If you’re not fond of dealing with command line, you can simply install the missing date and time configuration GUI instead. To do this, open up the ‘Software Manager’ and search for the following package and install it:

gnome-time-admin

If you notice it’s actually part of gnome control, but don’t worry, I have tried to install it and it doesn’t install any dependencies at all and it works great. So, just install it from the ‘Software Manager’. The installation should take less than a minute.

Alternatively you can also install the package from the command line:

sudo apt-get install gnome-time-admin

After you’ve finished installing the package, a new ‘Time and Date’ menu will be available under the ‘System Tools’ menu.

Open it and click on the lock icon to make changes/change your system date and time (the system will ask for your password). You may need to relog for the date and time panel applet to update itself.

Frankly, I prefer this method than the command line method .

What is markdown?

Markdown is a text-to-html conversion tool, the idea of this is to write in plain text format without the need of special tagging or formatting. That’s right, in PLAIN TEXT format! For instance, in html if the writer wants a text to be bold they need to enclose the text in <b></b> html tag, whereas using markdown, writer could simply write the text in plain text formatting enclosed with ** without worrying to convert them to valid XHTML or HTML as this will be converted automatically by markdown tool.

But you may wonder, what’s the different then if you still need to enclose the texts with special symbols to make them appear in special formatting as in bold or italic? Well for comparison, consider these two short article written in html and markdown:

From the comparison above, which do you thing is more neat and clean? HTML or Markdown? I’ll leave that for you to decide.

For more information about markdown, you can go to the project’s site here. More information about Markdown syntax can be found here.

Getting Markdown to work with WordPress

Now that you know what Markdown is, let’s integrate it with WordPress. There are three main components that is crucial to get Markdown working with WordPress:
- PHP Markdown (Main component, WordPress Plugin)
- WP-Syntax (WordPress Plugin)
- Markdown Geshi (WordPress Plugin)

1. Installing PHP Markdown

The first and main component to get Markdown working woth WordPress is PHP Markdown, written by John Gruber. PHP Markdown is available in two version, Regular version and Extra version. The difference between the two is that the extra version contains additional features that are not available in the plain Markdown Syntax, such as creation of tables, adding footnotes, and definition lists using Markdown. For WordPress, we will be using the Extra version. Grab PHP Markdown Extra from this link:

http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/

After you’ve finished downloading the archive/.zip file, extract only markdown.php to wordpress plugins root directory:

wp-content/plugins/

PHP Markdown extra support additional Markdown syntax that is not available in the original Markdown. Read more about it here: http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/

2. Installing WP-Syntax

The next component is WP-Syntax, a WordPress plugin that provides syntax highlighting for wide range of languages using GeSHi¹. Grab WP-Syntax plugin from it’s wordpress plugin page:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/

Again, extract the contents of the archive to your WordPress plugins directory:

wp-content/plugins

3. Installing Markdown Geshi

The third and last component required is Markdown Geshi, a plugin created by Gerard van Helden. This plugin will integrate GeSHi module used by WP-Syntax plugin to Markdown plugin, hence you will be able to highlight code syntax using Markdown. Grab Markdown Geshi from its github page:

https://github.com/drm/Markdown_Geshi

Download markdown-geshi.php from the link above and save it to wordpress plugin folder:

wp-content/plugins/

4. Wrapping it up

All three components/plugins should be in your WordPress plugin directory at this point. You WordPress plugin directory should somewhat looks like this:

+ wordpress  
    + wp-content
        + plugins  
            + wp-syntax             (wp-syntax plugin folder)
            + markdown.php          (component for PHP Markdown)
            + markdown-geshi.php    (component for Markdown Geshi)  

Activate all three plugins from WordPress Dashboard, under Plugins page. You need to activate the following plugins:
- Markdown Extra
- Markdown Geshi
- WP-Syntax

The next step is to disable visual editor to allow the use of Markdown for writing posts. To do this, go to Your Profile page from WordPress Dashboard and tick the Disable the visual editor when editing box and update your profile. The default WYSIWYG editor in post or page editing should now be replaced with simple editor. But don’t worry, you can use Markdown syntax to create and edit your post now.

5. Syntax Highlighting

Now that you’re able to use Markdown to edit and create post in WordPress, using GeSHi to highlight languages syntax is as easy! Remember that earlier we had setup all the required components to get syntax highlighting working in Markdown by using GeSHi module from WP-Syntax plugin. Hence, all you need to do is to place #!language@linenumber tag to your code block. Consider the following example:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Markdown Geshi</title>
    </head>
 
    <body>
        <h1>Heading 1</h1>
        <p>This is paragraph</p>
        <ul>Unordered List
            <li>First Item</li>
            <li>Second Item</li>
            <li>Third Item</li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>

By adding #!html4strict@1 tag to the code block above, the html code will be highlighted using GeSHi, but the shebang tag itself will not be shown when converted to XHTML/HTML. Let’s take a closer look at the shebang tag above:

#!html4strict@1

The text html4strict in the shebang above is the language type used for highlighting. Hence, if you want to display PHP code, you would replace html4strict with php. Next, the number 1 in the shebang above determine the starting line number in the code block, hence if you want your starting line number to start from ten, you would replace number 1 with 10. As simple as that!

So now that you know how to use the shebang tag to highlight language code, what are the languages supported by GeSHi? There are a lot actually, here are the list of the supported languages²:

abap, actionscript, actionscript3, ada, apache, applescript, apt_sources, asm, asp, autoit, avisynth, bash, bf, bibtex, blitzbasic, bnf, boo, c, c_mac, caddcl, cadlisp, cil, cfdg, cfm, cmake, cobol, cpp-qt, cpp, csharp, css, d, dcs, delphi, diff, div, dos, dot, eiffel, email, erlang, fo, fortran, freebasic, genero, gettext, glsl, gml, bnuplot, groovy, haskell, hq9plus, html4strict, idl, ini, inno, intercal, io, java, java5, javascript, kixtart, klonec, klonecpp, latex, lisp, locobasic, lolcode lotusformulas, lotusscript, lscript, lsl2, lua, m68k, make, matlab, mirc, modula3, mpasm, mxml, mysql, nsis, oberon2, objc, ocaml-brief, ocaml, oobas, oracle11, oracle8, pascal, per, pic16, pixelbender, perl, php-brief, php, plsql, povray, powershell, progress, prolog, properties, providex, python, qbasic, rails, rebol, reg, robots, ruby, sas, scala, scheme, scilab, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, sql, tcl, teraterm, text, thinbasic, tsql, typoscript, vb, vbnet, verilog, vhdl, vim, visualfoxpro, visualprolog, whitespace, whois, winbatch, xml, xorg_conf, xpp, z80

6. Further Customization

By default, PHP Markdown will apply to both your wordpress posts and comments. To apply PHP Markdown only for posts, edit the markdown.php file and look for MARKDOWN_WP_COMMENTS and set the value to false. Similarly, if you want to apply PHP Markdown only for comments, look for MARKDOWN_WP_POSTS and set the value to false.

P.S: This post is created using Markdown :D

By default if you pin tabs in Opera, those tabs will only be pinned for that session, meaning that if you exit or close your Opera Browser, the tabs that you’ve pinned will not be saved. Thus the next time you run your Opera Browser you’ll need to re-pin those tabs again which is really inconvenience .

I’ve tried to look for the options to save pinned tabs on exit in Opera Preferences but I can’t seem to find one . But fortunately, after tweaking around, I found an alternative way that you can use to keep the pinned tabs in place so that the next time you run your Opera Browser, you’ll not have to re-pin the tabs that you’ve previously pinned .

First open all the websites that you want to pin. For example, I’m going to pin Google Calender, Google Reader, Google News, Facebook, and Xmarks as these websites are the most frequently websites that I visited so I’ll just pin these tab for easier access, save tabs space and to prevent me from accidentally closing these tabs. To pin tab, just right click on the tab and select “Pin Tab”.

You may arrange the tabs position to your liking. Optionally, You may also add a new speed dial tab, thus every time you open the browser, your active tab will be the speed dial tab, or, if you prefer a blank page, open a new tab and type in “opera:blank” into the address bar.

Personally, I prefer the speed dial better, rather than a plain blank page . Anyway, this is what my tabs arrangement looks like (yours may differ ):

After you’ve finish pinning and arranging the tab, select the tab that you prefer as your default tab as the active tab. This tab will be the default active tab whenever you start your Opera browser. In this case, I wanted the speed dial tab to be the default tab, hence I select it as my active tab (see the picture above, I select the speed dial tab as my active tab).

Now go to the “Opera Menu -> Sessions -> Save Sessions”. A new small window will appear, name the session to whatever you like and make sure you tick the “Show these tabs and windows every time I start Opera” option, leave the “Only save active window” un-ticked. Click the OK button to save the sessions.

Close your Opera Browser and try to re-open it. You pinned tab should be there, and if you previously decided to add a blank page tab or speed dial tab, it will also be opened .

If you’re using netbook and want to install Windows 7 into it, you’ll most likely need to use a USB Installation Disk since Netbook doesn’t has a CD/DVD Drive (unless of course you have an external CD/DVD Drive). This guide will guide you on creating your own Windows 7 Installation USB. Note: If you’re too lazy to do it manually, you can use the tool that is provided by the Microsoft to get the job done . Grab it from here: http://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/en-GB/Help/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool. I won’t be explaining how to use that tool here, because the tool itself is pretty straightforward, just follow the instruction on the screen and hit the next button .

So, here are a few things that you’re going to need to create a Windows 7 USB Installation Disk:

• A Computer running Windows 7  or Windows Vista, sorry no WinXP (you need to have a computer running Win7 / WinVista 64bit if you want to create a Win7 64bit USB Installation Disk, you can’t create a Win7 64bit USB Installation Disk using 32bit Win7 / WinVista)
• Windows 7 Installation DVD
• A Minimal of 4GB Usb Flash Disk

That’s pretty much everything that you need, let’s get started shall we?

Step 1: Preparing the USB Stick

First thing first, we gonna need to format the UFD (Usb Flash Disk), so boot up your Win7 or WinVista Computer, now the reason that we gonna use WinVista or Win7 is that because both OS has ‘diskpart’ utility which is need to create Win7 USB Installation Disk and since WinXP doesn’t have this utility, we can’t use WinXP (at least that’s what I know, correct me if I’m wrong ).

Open up the Command Prompt:

Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
 
or
 
Just hit the Win+R key to upen up the Run Window, type in 'cmd' and hit enter.

Type in ‘diskpart’ into the command prompt to open up the disk utility followed by ‘list disk’ to list all the Storage attached to your computer (make sure you have plugged in your UFD).

You should see a list of Storage/Disk currently attached to your computer with it’s information: Disk Number, Status, Size, Free, etc. Identify your UFD Disk Number, you can take a look at the Disk Size to easily identify which one is your UFD. In my Computer, my UFD Disk Number is # 1. After you’ve identified your UFD Number, type in the following command (one at a time) :

select disk 1
clean
create primary partition
select partition 1
active
format fs=NTFS
assign
exit

The formatting process will take some time, just wait for it to complete and you should’ve your UFD prepared, you should also noticed that after you type in the ‘assign’ command, your UFD will be assigned a new drive letter or mount point, you may want to take note of the new UFD drive letter which will be needed in the next part.. Proceed to step 2.

Step 2: Making the UFD Bootable

Your UFD is ready, but it’s useless if you can’t boot from it , so what we are going to do is that we’re going to make it bootable. We’ll be using the ‘bootsect’ utility to do this.

Insert your Windows 7  DVD, or if you’ve the .ISO file, just mount the .ISO file using Daemon-tools. Go back to the CMD or open a new one if you’ve closed it and change the current directory to the Windows 7 DVD’s boot directory.

My Windows 7 DVD is assigned as F: drive, so I’m going to type in the following into the CMD (change the drive letter according to your drive letter:

f:
cd boot

Next we’re going to use the bootsect utility that is located in the directory to make the UFD Bootable, change e: according to your UFD Drive Letter.

bootsect/nt60 e:

Dang, your UFD is now bootable ! Proceed to the last step .

Step 3: Copying the Windows 7 Installation file to the UFD

The title pretty much says what you need to do, open the Windows Explorer and simply copy all files from your Windows 7 DVD to your UFD Drive .

It’s done! Now you have your own Windows 7 USB Installation Disk .

Your Facebook UserID along with other information such as your First Name and Last Name will be displayed.

Here’s an example:

Note: You can also use this method to get the ID of a Facebook Page.

If this is the first time you connect to facebook chat through XMPP, please read the note at the end of the Post

Adium is one of the best Instant Messaging Client out there for Mac, it can be easily customized or themed, and it supports multiple Accounts and Instant Messaging Protocol. But for some reason, Facebook Chat doesn’t seem to work in Adium (with latest stable release 1.4.1), I can add my Facebook Account but it kept asking for authorization thus I can’t connect to Facebook chat. But thankfully, Facebook Chat is based on Jabber, therefore we can connect through Facebook Chat using Jabber Protocol from Adium:

1. Run Adium (obviously )
2. Go to Adium > Preferences… and select the “Accounts” tab and click the + (plus) button located at the bottom left of the window to add a new account. Select Jabber from the Protocol list.
3. Fill your Facebook USERNAME in “Jabber ID” and add @chat.facebook.com at the end of your USERNAME (See Picture Below). Please take note that your email is not your Facebook Username, take a look at the link to your Profile page if you do not know, ex http://www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE, and if you haven’t create a username for your Facebook Account, you can create it by going to Facebook Setting.
4. Fill your Facebook PASSWORD in “Password”.
5. Next, go to “Options” Tab, and fill in chat.facebook.com in “Connect Server”. Set the port to 5222.
6. Click the “Ok” button to add your account.

Now you can connect to Facebook Chat in Adium .

Warning: You’re also connected to Facebook Chat when you access Facebook from your Web Browser, so every time someone message you on Facebook Chat, you’ll receive the message from both the Web Browser and Adium. To avoid receiving the message in Web Browser, I’ve created a simple greasemonkey script to disable/hide the facebook chat bar, thus everytime someone message you on Facebook, you’ll only receive the message in Adium . But the DOWNSIDE  of using this script is that if you open Facebook in Web Browser without opening the Facebook Chat from Adium, you’ll still be connected to Facebook Chat but you’ll not be able to receive or send message since the Facebook Chat Bar in your Web Browser is Disabled. Anyway, use at your own risk .

Download the Greasemonkey Script from here.

Important Note :

For this trick to work, you need to set your Username for your Facebook Account. If you haven’t done so, visit the link below to set up your Facebook Username:

http://www.facebook.com/username

Also, if this is the first time you connect to Facebook Chat through XMPP Protocol, you’ll get the 503 Not Authorized error (Pidgin) or the client will kept on asking for your password. To solve this problem, you need to visit the following page:

http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php

From there, select on any IM client listed there (you can select pidgin, adium, or iChat), it will ask you to log out from your Facebook account (provided that this is the first time that you tried to connect to Facebook chat from XMPP, else it won’t ask you to log out).

Log out and relog to your Facebook Account. Now, make sure you’re disconnected from the Web Facebook Chat (you can log out from the Web Facebook Chat by clicking the Facebook Chat Bar located at the bottom right of the facebook site, then go to “Options” and select “Go Offline”).

Now try to connect to Facebook Chat from Adium, it should work  !
