Centralize data kstars

kstars is the project of a planetarium for KDE. It works pretty well, but there is a small detail that can get annoying: the "Get new data is available for each user, so the catalogs and images (some of whom are 2GiB) are likely to be downloaded individually for each user. This, in a computer classroom for astronomy, for example, means a lot of wasted space, and plenty of bandwidth used to download things you already have. After

small talk with people from KDE, I found the place and how to avoid this by centralizing data and using KDE kiosk mode to prevent users can download data.

I hope, now began to make a Debian package that centralizes case. Let's see if I get well.

Off button

I've ever commented I do not like dust. Dust in computers, of course. And today, for the third or fourth After passing a brush (a simple brush) on my new computer to remove dust environment, was extinguished. That is what is called having a power button very sensitive, so that now we call "button off."

So without thinking twice, and knowing that I will continue past the brush or cloth to clean the external dust from time to time, I've gotten into the case and I pulled the red and white cables to disconnect of the above circuit board.

Download ed2k: / / from Firefox (II)

About a year and a half I wrote this article about registering a new protocol in Iceweasel (better known around as Firefox).

But with the arrival of Firefox 3 things have changed and the method does not work. But the solution is similar: it is to manually add a new key to Boolean network.protocol-handler.expose.ed2k , and give as false value. The next time you click a link ed2k: / / will ask the application you want to use, and then look / usr/bin/ed2k in the directory tree.

And of course, the same goes for any other protocol you want.

Everything comes (more or less) explained http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol .
