THE clipboard manager for Gnome

If you use Gnome, you certainly know the limit of the clipboard mechanism. For example, if you copy a text from Firefox, you close your browser, you can’t paste the text which is lost !

Another limit is the fact there isn’t any history…

The solution is Glipper !

sudo aptitude install glipper

Put it in your session starting preferences to get it when you start your linux. Forget previous problems, glipper is here ! And when you want to retrieve an old copied text, CTRL-ALT-C and you can choose in your history.

Google Calendar inside Thunderbird !

This is a good news for all users of Google Calendar : you can see and edit your Google Calendar inside your Thunderbird mail application.

What you need :

After installing Thunderbird, the provider and lightning addons, open the “Calendars” tab and add a new calendar.

Choose “network calendar” and “Google Calendar” type of calendar. In the URL field, fill your XML private address of your calendar (available in “calendar details” in your google calendar web site).

Then, fill in your gmail password and voila !

This is IMO the best solution to share calendar in small business (and why not in bigger company), at a very low cost, between a lot of different collaborators.
