While the tilda website sucks including unfound images on the homepage the program is great. The idea of tilda is to provide the user with a “terminal taking after the likeness of many classic terminals from first person shooter games, Quake, Doom and Half-Life (to name a few)”[1]. The great thing about this is that it lets you collapse a lot of your terminals into one terminal (I’m sure I will still have a few terminals open to monitor things that I’m running) but in general it lets you map a hot key to pull down a notebook of terminals (like the tilda(~) would do in the games mentioned above).

Before Tilda

After Tilda

I really do love this application and it gives me a neat new way to interface with my computer. It is perfect for when I am programing and I want to then quickly switch to the terminal to compile my program now instead of <Alt> + <Tab> I can use <Super> + <Space> and bring down my terminal.

For those of you still running hardy you may want to upgrade to the latest version (yes those instructions will work with the latest version) but even then there are still a few features I would like to see mostly I would like each desktop to have its own terminal’s (right now they all share the same ones).

What apps do you love?

Thanks to everyone who made the stickers possible. They look great on my laptop. Sorry about the picture quality I took them with my XO because my digital camera is dead.

3. AptUrl – Why don’t we use it for the Ubuntu wiki?

My solution, let APT-URL add a repository after giving a warning of course. Is this dangerous, sure it is but we can take a similar approach to this that Firefox does, only let trusted websites add to the source.list file. So on a trusted website like launchpad you would get a message like “launchpad.net is trying to add the following repository” compared to a random website that might say “wiki.earobinson.org is trying to add a repository if this is a trusted website please click yes otherwise click no”. This would add some risk but the benefit to the user is huge. Please support this idea by voting for it at the Ubuntu brainstorm.
