What fun stuff have you done recently?
by Kyle Sexton 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

I'm curious what other people are doing in Linux right now for "fun". My current project has been integrating Asterisk (Open source PBX) and MythTV (Open source PVR). I've gotten it so that I can call my house and have it read me what shows are going to be recorded. The inbound line is a soft-phone SIP connection from Vonage. I'm probably going to beef up my phone tree to include other things, and may eventually get some home automation things going through it. What projects has everyone else been doing? -Kyle

Linux question, GUI "lightweight" text editors
by Jack 18 May '06

18 May '06

For those out there familiar with UltraEdit in Windows, I have a questioon. Is there a single Linux Editor that has most if not all the features of UltraEdit? For those that use Windows and don't use UltraEdit, you're missing out on the BEST Windows Editor there is. Partial list of functions: column or line text selection/editing, search with regular expressions, display/edit in hex, search in a directory tree for a string returning all lines found with filename and line number and line of text, replace in a directory tree a string, use special keystrokes in above two features to search and or replace or add nonprinting characters (e.g. newline), syntax highlighting, custom syntax definitions, word count, file position display (line and column), macros, line sorting, data conversion (e.g. ASCII -> EBCDIC), etc. There are a lot more features, but I rarely use more than this. This seems like something relatively easy to do in Linux, as all the basic tools seem to be available in any distro, but I can't say I've seen any editor with all of them. UltraEdit is $20 btw, and well worth it. It's paid for itself for me many times over. I couldn't tell you how many hours of work it has saved me. In fact it paid for itself the first time I ever used it. I'd pay $20 for a Linux solution that did all this. I'd probably pay even more than $20 for it. Like I said, it looks easy, but not necessarily quick to build. I'm sure I could build one, if I had a few hundred hours of spare time. Brian JD
