The Changes:
1. When listing out the highlighted strings, they are displayed in a separate tab instead of the current tab
2. The list of phrases contains are numbered so that you can delete them using the index instead of typing to whole string back out
3. Added a help command for a short explanation of each command
4. There is only one command now, /hilight, that accepts the options like “add”, “help”, “list”, etc.

I could’ve installed the addon, but there’s an easy, simpler way:

1. Type about:config in the browser url bar
2. Type useragent into the filter bar
3. Edit the general.useragent.extra.firefox and change Shiretoko to Firefox, leaving the rest of the value the same

useragent setting in firefox 3.5

You can use the plugin by either:
1. manually loading the file through the menu (Windows -> Plugins and Scripts) every time you restart xchat
2. copy the hilightphrase.py to your $HOME/.xchat2/ direcory where it will get loaded automatically when xchat is run.

Once loaded, a /hilight-list will list all of the currently active phrases to highlight. A /hilight-add <phrase> where <phrase> is a string will add the specified phrase to the list. As you can probably guess, a /hilight-remove <phrase> where <phrase> is a currently active phrase will remove it from the list.

Feel free to comment and leave suggestions.

1. mplayer -vo null -vc null -ao pcm:fast:file=file.wav file.mp3
2. faac -b 128 -c 44100 -w file.wav

You’ll end up with a file.m4a file. Once you have the OpenSSH package installed and running on your iPhone you can use the scp command to copy the ringtone to the correct location:

scp file.m4a root@iphone:/Library/Ringtones/file.m4r

The root password by default is “alpine”. As you can see the file will need to be renamed to end in “.m4r” instead of “.m4a” to be used as a ringtone. You’ll now be able to see it listed with the other ringtones under Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone.

First, I created a script that could be used to change in between a set of predefined background images:

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
1)
    gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/home/derrick/wallpaper/Solar_3200x1200_SunRiseTime.png";;
2)
    gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/home/derrick/wallpaper/Solar_3200x1200_DayTime.png";;
3)
    gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/home/derrick/wallpaper/Solar_3200x1200_SunSetTime.png";;
4)
    gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/home/derrick/wallpaper/Solar_3200x1200_NightTime.png";;
*)
    echo "Usage: bgchange.sh [1|2|3|4]";;
esac

Then, using the solution that allows gconftool-2 to communicate using dbus while being run by cron, I created another script:

#!/bin/bash

# Export the dbus session address on startup so it can be used by cron
touch $HOME/.Xdbus
chmod 600 $HOME/.Xdbus

env | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS > $HOME/.Xdbus
echo 'export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' >> $HOME/.Xdbus

# Export XAUTHORITY value on startup so it can be used by cron
env | grep XAUTHORITY >> $HOME/.Xdbus
echo 'export XAUTHORITY' >> $HOME/.Xdbus

As the post says, I made the script run each time I logged in by selecting System -> Preferences -> Sessions and adding /home/derrick/bin/.make_Xdbus as a Startup program.

Next, I edited by crontab by running ‘crontab -e’ and adding the following jobs:

00 07 * * * . /home/derrick/.Xdbus; /home/derrick/bin/bgchange.sh 1
00 08 * * * . /home/derrick/.Xdbus; /home/derrick/bin/bgchange.sh 2
00 17 * * * . /home/derrick/.Xdbus; /home/derrick/bin/bgchange.sh 3
00 18 * * * . /home/derrick/.Xdbus; /home/derrick/bin/bgchange.sh 4

The /home/derrick/.Xdbus file is created each time I log in after adding the previous script as an entry in Sessions. You can adjust at what time the script changes the background to what picture. If you’re not familiar with crontab syntax you can take a look at the crontab(5) man page using the command ‘man 5 cron’.
