Fix ”mosh” locale

2022-11-7 Ichimusai

When logging in with mobile shell (mosh) sometimes in Ubuntu the locales will mismatch. This is easily fixed by using the following two commands:

# locale-gen "en_US.UTF-8"
# update-locale LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

Substitute the locale for the one you wish to use in both places and then run this. For Swedish locale use sv_SE.UTF-8 as an example.

blackr

2008-09-25 Ichimusai

A lot of people find the background choice of Flickr to be a little annoying, they would prefer for example a black background when viewing someones pictures. There are several hacks to accomodate this and some greasemonkey scripts but one of the simplest is blackr.

Just click the button and it will switch to black.

Click again and it is back to normal. Very few distractions from viewing the picture.

Flickr Scripts

2008-08-7 Ichimusai

Here are some of my favourite GreaseMonkey scripts for Flickr that I use almost daily:

Flickr Refer Comment: This script allows you to put a small signature when commenting pictures that tells the people where you found the picture. It is a very nice feature and tells people where you are finding their pictures when you comment them – which group, if you are reading through RSS aggregator, in your friends and family collections and so on.
Flickr Buddy Icon Reply: This script allows you to reply with a buddy icon and / or name so that people know who you are responding to when making a follow up comment. Lovely script!
Flickr – Multi Group Sender: This script allows you to pick from a list all the groups you wish to send a photo to. Normally you have to pick one group at a time and from the organiser you can only send a nuber of photos to one group at a time but with this you can send one photo to several groups at the same time.

In order to use any of them you must first install Greasmonkey, a scripting add-on for Firefox that also can be gotten to work with Internet Explorer.
