Thunderbird extensions: ThreadVis

This is a really, really great extension for Thunderbird. It add a graph to the email view which visualizes the context. This means if you have a conversation over multiple email, it is visualized and you can quickly access the various mail by clicking on the graph. This jumps then for example in your sent folder to you previous mail.
The extension's website is here where you also can download it.

Here you see a screenshot of its visualisation

Cython syntax highlighting for Kate

The cython language has a similar syntax as python but with some extensions. For example there's a keyword called cdef. The python syntax highlighter works quite good but a cython highlighter is even better.

Fortunately I found a already existing syntax definition file for kate here. This one is for Pyrex on which cython is based so it should work well.

Put the file in ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/, if this folder does not exist, just create it. Now you should be able to select pyrex from the script section under highlighter in kate. You can also rename it to cython but then you also have to change pyrex to cython in the file.

Edit: I added some cython specifig keyword to it, you can get my version from here.

Perfect Screenshot

There's a nice little app for taking screenshot in windows. It's called greenshot and is licensed under GPL and hosted on sourceforge. Try it out...

KBlogger ebuild

I've put a ebuild of KBlogger into my overlay. If you can read this, it works :-)
To be honest, it seems to be unstable but what to you expect it is a alpha...
Thanks to this nice app you will maybe see some more posts on this site...

Gentoo Overlay

Finally I've put my small overlay online on bitbucket, which I think is a really nice plattform. It gives you the opportunity to create a free acount where you have 150MB of space for an unlimeted number of public mercurial (hg) repos including a private one. Each repo has it's own wiki which is a hg repo itself.

How to add the overlay with layman is documented in the wiki. Feel free to fork and or contribute...
