If you are often handling PSD files on your system, you might have issues to preview those on your Linux Desktop system.
For the GNOME Desktop, the file-manager does not display thumbnails of the images nor do those preview with the eog image-viewer.

A typical plague of the internetz has hit this blog. It had no posts for a long time. -silence-
I am sorry for this, but even if it might surprise some people, sometimes there are more important things in life than keeping your blog updated.
Anyways here a quick overview of things that changed or matter before I get bugged at writing again:

Apple has blessed us with a new major release of their operating system for their iDevice range of products.
As a lot of people started to ask if one is still able to synchronize music using libgpod on Linux and if libimobiledevice and related works, I’d like to explain the current state of art here.

News spread yesterday after Bernd Marienfeldt discovered a security issue with passcode enabled iPhone devices still being accessible using a stock Ubuntu 10.04 system and now reaching major sites on the Internet.
Since those reports appear to point out that Ubuntu/Linux is “teh evil”, I’ll try to explain why this is totally false information and FUD.
The basic workflow he pointed out was:
The expected behavior is that the device would refuse to pair with the unknown system due to having a passcode set.
Now the problem here is that you can replicate this flaw with any operating system.

If you are like me and you are annoyed by the Evolution bugging you in your ALT+TAB cycle as you have it running almost all the time you will probably like this one.
Back last year I wrote a simple plugin for Evolution. The plugin provides a small notification area icon to show/hide/quit Evolution’s windows and comes handy if you have your favourite PIM open all the time.
Development work on Evolution broke the functionality though which was based on a hacky workaround anyways (abused a private exported symbol) to be able to hide/show the main window.
However with Evolution 2.30.0, it’s rewrite of the UI code and removal of libbonobo code, the public API changed and now allows much better control of the whole interface.
So without much fanfare I release evolution-statusicon 1.0.4 for Evolution 2.30.0 or later. Download and sources after the break.
