Wallpaper Clock in Ubuntu

I was looking for "ubuntu widgets" to have a clock hanging around in the desktop and stumbled on this. Wallpaper Clock.

It is better to have the whole desktop for a clock rather than a widget. See the screenshot. Note the time. Try it.

Never knew Billroth meant this...

I have always thought that Billroth was a name, although not very Indian. But as I was reading Edward de Bono's How to have a beautiful mind I came to know that it was a kind of an operation done in stomach. Wonder why an hospital is named after Billroth in Chennai. The following excerpt is from wikipedia.

Billroth II, more formally Billroth's operation II, is an operation in which the lower part of the stomach (antrum) is removed and a loop of small bowel (jejunum) is brought up and joined to it in a (side-to-side manner) for drainage. The surgical procedure is calledgastrojejunostomy.^[1][2]

Fill Cell with Colour in Libre Office - Keyboard Shortcut

I do a lot of things in LibreOffice Calc and it involves changing background colour of cells. I needed some keyboard short cuts and found it here. Thought might be useful. Press Ctrl+1 to invoke format cells dialogue box. Use Tab or Shift+Tab to navigate. If you use it often it opens in the last tab you left, making it easier to use. Try keyboard short cuts. They make life simple.

Videos for Ipod Touch, IPad in Linux

Apple may have blocked back porting of its pods and pads but that cannot change me from having Linux as my primary OS. So I use Handbrake to convert them to Apple compatible files (presets available) and use ITunes only to upload these files to my devices. Works great. No hassles. Give it a try.
