Prey!

I feel a bit bad for not have been writing this earlier - but in Sweden we have a saying: "Bättre sent än aldrig", which translates to something like "It's better to be late then never do it."

Anyway, I'd like to represent to you: Prey!

Prey is a must have application on every and all of your electronic devices. Do you have a tablet, computer (desktop or laptop) or a phone (one of them or all, no matter), you should absolutely have this installed and configured!

It is an application that will help you if the unspeakable would happend: you're device gets stolen or lost. If that would happend, you can easly login on Prey's website and set your device to missing and then it'll start sending reports back to the Prey Dashboard, which includes, position data, (in some cases) pictures, Facebook accounts that the "new" user uses and much, much more stuff. Data that you could give to the authorities! Data that will help you get your device back!

The installation varies from Android, to iPhone, from Linux, to Windows, to Mac OS X, but it pretty alike and very easy and straight forward.

  • Install the application on your device.
  • Follow the installation instructions.
  • Confirm your account.
  • Finalize the device settings on your Prey Dashboard.
  • Add another device (up to three for free).

Now you are good to go! Which in Prey's case is nothing more. You won't have to do anything more (unless you're device get lost). Prey just sits in the background and doesn't at all give itself up.

What are you waiting for?! Install it!

Dagens Kommando: Preview as a Mac in GNU/Linux - Gloobus.

Idag (ikväll/inatt) tänkte jag ta och visa upp en liten behändig sak - Gloobus, eller Gloobus-preview, som det också kallas.

De av er som har använt, eller kanske har en Mac och kör Mac OS X så är ni säkert hemma med "Quick View". Gloobus är precis det, men för GNU/Linux.

Installationen är enkel. Du lägger bara till deras PPA (Personal Package Archive - förråd), uppdaterar paketlistan och installerar paketet 'gloobus-preview'.

Detta ska in i din sources.list. Såhär gör du det.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/gloobus/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/gloobus/ubuntu jaunty main

Programmet fungerar så att man först måste kopiera filen man vill visa till utklipp (Kopiera eller Ctrl+C) och sen köra gloobus-preview.

Enklast är då att koppla Gloobus till en tangentkombination. Detta an göras på flera sätt;

Välj helt enkelt en tangentbordskombination och välj att köra kommandot 'gloobus-preview'. Nu är det bara att köra ;)
