A Look Back At Docky in 2009
Dock application ‘Docky’ only came into its singular being this year yet already is one of the most popular 3rd party applications available for Linux (though here’s hoping it makes it into ‘the repo’s come stable!). As with a few other of my favourite Linux applications, Docky has an incredibly insightful and focused team who [...]
Ubuntu Was More Popular Than Britney Spears In 2009
With 2009 drawing to a close i thought it would be interesting to kick of a series of retrospective posts about Ubuntu in 2009. What better way than to kick off with Ubuntu’s popularity this year! Has it grown? Shrunk? Vanished? That we can’t conclusively say, but we can get all Cluedo about it and [...]
12 Days of Xmas: Day Eight
Let me dig out my ‘We love OpenShot’ banner before I start… There we are. Nicely set up. Ahem. Can you guess what app make Day Eight of our top 12 apps of 2009? I tried to be subtle! OpenShot is a non-linear video editor Linux that is by-far-and-away the most feature-packed user-friendly editor around. [...]
12 Days of Xmas: Day Seven – Ubuntu Software Centre
“What?????” people scream. “Serious.” I say back, nodding. Yes the Ubuntu Software Centre is my 6th favourite application of the year! It was one of the Karmic Koalas’ big selling points – an easier more efficient way to find and install applications and it certainly did what it set out to do in Karmic – [...]
12 Days of Xmas: Day Six – Shotwell (Plus a peek at Shotwell 0.4!)
I am aware i’m a day or so behind on these, so if you see day seven pop up a bit later you haven’t accidentally lost track of time i’m just trying to keep up! Shotwell, simply described as a “photo organizer” but so much more than that, is one part of an upcoming “media [...]
12 Days of Xmas: Day Five – ViewNior
4 days down, 8 to go. What application is on our fifth day? (And it’s not five gold rings!) ViewNior! I adore this fast, speedy and oddly feature-filled little image viewer. more than a capable replacement for the default Ubuntu image-viewer, ViewNior packs in Animation support, cropping, ‘set as wallpaper’, slideshow and above all else [...]
12 Days of Xmas: Day Four – Shutter
Screenshot tool ‘Shutter’ shuffles into view as we continue our 12 favourite applications of 2009 countdown. First things first – Shutter is quite possibly the best Screenshot tool ever created. Period. A super-quick summary of Shutter (as this isn’t a review or general post) would go something like this: – Take a screenshot of your [...]
12 Days of Xmas: Day Three – CoverGloobus
Day Three of our countdown of 2009′s top applicationss leads us to an application from the same stable as yesterdays’ Gloobus Preview. Yep! Today we’re throwing tinsel and baubles over its sister application CoverGloobus! CoverGloobus comes with tons of themes with plenty more available CoverGloobus is an application that I’ve mentioned a lot of over [...]
12 Days Of Xmas: Best Apps of 2009 – Day Two
With 2009 drawing to a close we’re getting all retrospectical* here at OMG!Ubuntu! (*That’s not a real word, but it sounds good.) Today we present our second favourite application of 2009 – Gloobus Preview. For those who have yet to hear of Gloobus Preview it is essentially a “file peeker”; allows you to preview pretty [...]
12 Days Of Xmas: Best Apps Of 2009 – Day One
“On the first day of Xmas Gwibber gave to me, my social networks in a tree…†Tree-view, that is. Yes, Gwibber 2.0 introduced a revamped UI alongside other changes earlier this year – all designed to help the premier social-network application land itself in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. Sadly it didn’t manage to fix enough [...]
