| Odds
& Ends: The applications on
this page are totally unrelated to each other, but I couldn't see
making a whole page for each of them as they are pretty straightforward
to use, thus requiring little explanation. Nevertheless here they are -
an HTML editor and a Metronome. Bluefish
Introduction:
If
you create web pages and know how to deal with HTML markup language,
then you might want to try out Bluefish (shown below). Bluefish is not
a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor like Mozilla Composer
(on which I have created this site), but rather a pure and true, full
featured HTML editor.  Downloading and Installing Bluefish via APT/Synaptic: To download and install Bluefish, just type bluefish in the Find box of the Synaptic main window, click Install Latest Version, click Execute, and then follow the general procedures you learned in Chapter 10. Running Bluefish: Once installed, you can run Bluefish by going to the Main panel menu and selecting Programming > More Programming Tools > Bluefish. |

GTick
Introduction:
If you enjoy pulling
out your guitar, banjo, cello, viola d'amore, or, better yet, nyckelharpa for a bit of
relaxation after a long day at the office, you may (or may not,
depending on how you like to do things) appreciate this simple little
metronome program for GNOME - GTick.
 Note: GTick is
available
from
the DAG repositories, so you will need to add that repository to your
Synaptic repository list if you haven't done so already. The
instructions on how to do this are provided on page 152 of "Linux for Non-Geeks."
Once
DAG is in your Synaptic repository, be sure to update the package lists
(by clicking
the Update
List button in
Synaptic) before moving on.
Downloading and Installing GTick via APT/Synaptic: To download and install GTick, just type gtick in the Find box of the Synaptic main window, click Install Latest Version, click Execute, and then follow the general procedures you learned in Chapter 10. Running GTick: Once installed, you can run GTick by going to the Main panel menu and selecting Sound & Video > Gtick Metronome. |
