Manage your font collection with Font Manager
13Already available in both Maverick and Debian sid, it provides many interesting features.

Here are few nice screenshots:
To install the application, as usual type:
sudo apt-get install font-manager
Let me know what you think!

What a beautiful day
0I have two nice news to tell you today!

Congratulations! This e-mail confirms that Canonical would like to offer you sponsorship in the form of accommodation and travel to the Ubuntu Developers Summit in Dallas for the Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx release – http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS
I can’t describe what I feel, I just want to thank Canonical for giving me this opportunity.

A new macro for the Italian wiki
1This Stephan Hermann’s article shows a simple and useful macro, which gets a Launchpad bug’s id and returns a link to its bugtracker page.
So, I had an idea: why don’t generalize it and make it compatible with other projects bugtrackers?
Ok, let’s start analyzing the code:
python -c “print ‘SGVsbG8gcGxhbmV0IQ==\n’.decode(‘base64′)”
