Installing Razor-QT in Fedora 16

i read some blog asking for a new QT based desktop environment. read it here http://dallarosa.tumblr.com/post/15065820283/do-we-need-a-new-qt-based-desktop-environment

some good guy greg posted a link to Razor-QT(http://razor-qt.org/), being curious, i tried to install the repo

so to add the repo here are the commands. 
(this is for Fedora 16 only, there are .repo files for previous fedora release, find it here http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://TI_Eugene://QtDesktop/Fedora_16/)



then you install

sudo yum install razorqt -y





idea and to do things

Currently having so fun using fluxbox. Hope one day can make a linux mint based live cd with fluxbox as main DE and other lightweight tools. I hope. Haha.

getting an alternative start menu in fluxbox

i have been wondering for a while is there any alternative for
fluxbox's famous right-click rootmenu. i wanted something that when i
click, i get the menu. now i found it.

the project is ftmenu and it is at sourceforge.
http://ftmenu.sourceforge.net/

before you try to compile, make sure you install gtk2-devel (name may
vary depend on distro, mine is fedora 16)

fluxbox for total newbies

after gnome3 then xfce, now i am using fluxbox.
just love the simplicity, but if you dont know what to do, you will be
bored so fast
so here is a link to you, newbies to get up and start customizing fluxbox,

Ailurus - for people new to linux

no high hopes, this gui software is just an alternative to the _slow_
synaptics manager.
and it also have other functions too, such as

- listing your hardware (but i already have system profiler),
- system settings (on fedora, there are only 3 areas, firefox,
hostname, memory)
- install software (like synaptics but with added things)
- repository (you can edit repo i guess, but mine shows the bug menu)
- recover rpm (something like system restore in windows, can take a
snapshot of your system)
- clean up (like ccleaner in win)
- computer doctor (give suggestions on settings. eg. use colourful
bash prompt symbols)
- preference, study linux..etc

for fedora just
yum install ailurus

Lepak dgn unknown uncle

So harini jumpa boss, die nak tengok kerja. Pastu die tinggalkan dengan sorang member die. Tua sikit. Well, sebelum awkward bermula, aku dengan beraninya saje jer memulakan perbualan.

Die pakai baju kerja, lusuh sikit, ade lambang york kat poket baju. Aku pun cakap la, "wah boss, bisnes ape?"

Uncle: buat eletrical, wiring
Aku: owh, pakcik pun ade jugak buat
Uncle: kalau air cond nak pasang pun boleh panggil. Kita boleh buat
Aku: owh (ok topic mula jadi lame)
Aku: err, uncle, just nak tanya satu soalan, mana lagi bagus, kerja sendiri atau kerja bawah org.
Uncle: untuk siapa?
Aku: katakanlah, untuk saya, kalau baru lepas grad.
Uncle: lu kerja la dengan org dulu. Kerja dgn org, nanti boleh belajar.
Aku: so nanti boleh bukak kedai sendiri. Mcm tu?
Uncle: ya la. Kalau awak bukak kedai, takde itu experience, mcm mana? Nanti kalau ade pekerja, awak tatau nak arahkan suruh buat apa.
Aku: betul,betul

Memang org bangsa cina suka bisnes dan seperti kat dialog tadi, itu step yg penting. Biase antara sanak saudara aku pun, aku tengok, bisnes diorg main terjah sahaja. Takde role model nak ditiru. Tq random uncle kawan boss aku. Haha. U might changed my future, who knows rite? Haha.

Wtf girl?

Minggu ni timeline twitter aku (shit, aku memang takde life) serabut sikit.

Ade gurl ni aku boleh katakan menunjuk ape sahaja die buat. At the same time, few gurls start berbuat demikian. Kejadah hape hang. Macam nak fight sapa paling power lak. Memula memang la nampak macam tweet biasa, ada kat mana, dll. tapi kalau dah asek nak describe bagai, people know, i know. dem, aku pun ade gak buat ni, tapi tu zaman noob kot. lol

dem, terpublish sebelum sempat nak habiskan. ok sambung

pastu ade gurl lain lak ranting pasal kenapa orang suka judge die. apedem. kenapa nak ditakutkan dengan judging orang? just live your life. at least some point in your life, you need people judging you. eg. weh, kawan ko rasa baju yang aku pakai ni sesuai tak. 

next gurl ni rasa down sangat. well ini tak boleh cakap apa la. still felt very sad for her. kekandang ade gak masa kita kene nangis kan, macam nak imbangkan gelak tawa kita selama ni. lol, pepandai buat teori.

tapi dalam kekusutan ni, ade gak dapat a few interesting conclusion, thanks kepada yang respon.

ok dah itu je kot. conclusion tu baik aku simpan je la. tayah share kot. 

btw, rant ni tersangatla random.

Awesome framework for joomla and wordpress

http://www.gantry-framework.org/

well its the simplest framework i found so far. positioning widgets,
menus, etc etc easily
only the downside is the framework just gives the basic styling
options. so at least you know how to edit css you are good to go.
