lappysaurus: Doing it all again

15.55: Correction: I will not attempt to copy the my home dir since I only have a 4GB card... sigh. Onwards with the customizing!

15.58: Fixed panels. Basically just following this one here.

15.59: Installing Google Chrome. Hoho, Chrome allows you do choose different seach engines for the omnibox: Google, bing or Yahoo. Noble enough, yes?

16.02: Thunderbird? I guess so... still really no alternative. Make sure the software sources are okay.

16.05: Argh. The visual effects gotta go. Set them to normal under System -> Preferences and the background? Black. Desktop theme is kept though. No moar black'n'white, no.

16.16: Whoops. Got stuck playing with Google Gravity. Very nice! Anyways, configured chrome with a couple of extentions (backspace, google experiment, page rank), see other linky.

16.21: Omigod. I'm not gonna change the colours in the terminal (sigh, all these first world-problems...). But I will configure shortcuts.

16.24: Oh noes, the trackpad toggle-bug is still here. Annoying. Have to restart. Gah.

16.25: Keyboard shortcut for terminal: Browser: Alt+Del, email: Alt+Ins, Home folder: Alt+Home, terminal: Alt+F2.

16.32: Basically just doing everything in this post. Time for a break afterwards, I think.

16.35: Oh no, why is Chrome brown like ubuntu '08? Don't like!

16.35: Well, not installing Evolution. Though I'm still not satisfied with thunderbird...

16.41: Blobblob. The update manager is running, so can't really install programs. Waaaiting.

16.42: In the meanwhile I'll try to do something about the awful colors in chrome.

16.43: Ok, now it's baby blue like windows... crap.

16.45: Hmm, it helped to download the Default theme and then choosing the GTK theme afterwards. Weird. Anyway, happy camper now.

16.56: Now installing all the programs. Then a restart and emacs/texlive. Easypeasy.

17.09: Whoops. Totally forgetting to do stuff. Ok, so emacs 23 and texlive-full.

17.45: Done (probably for some time now). Time to stop for today.
