If like me, you have to write regular reports with the source code inside, you may have regretted not have syntax highlighting in your favorite word processor to make it more readable code.

Well here is the solution to this evil that eats you! This is Notepad + + , the famous text editor for Windows that brings us through one of its plugins (installed by default).

So to take advantage of the latter, instead of a classic cut and paste, select the code (or the part of code you want) and click Plugins> NppExport> Copy to clipboard RTF.

Then, in your favorite word processor, you just make a simple Edit> Paste.

Simple but effective!

There is no stopping progress at Google! Here is that Gmail adopts a cat Audio / Video.

To integrate video into your mailbox, you must download the plugin for your browser.

Then when you initiate a conversation with a friend, simply click 'Add voice / video chat "to use the service.

I have not had time to test such a conversation with someone (especially to judge the quality of video and sound), but if you tested please let me know your comments.

For more info, that's where .

This article is a cover of my previous article regarding the installation of an Epson DX8450 on Ubuntu .

Since the passage Ubuntu 8.10 many scanner users can no longer run them. Returning to the multi-function printer in question, my tutorial remains valid for the printer installation .

The printer seems to be automatically detected as Stylus DX8400-.

However, for the part about installing the scanner, please follow the instructions below:

(I think here you have followed the beginning of the previous article on the achievement of. Deb files.)

Installing the scanner:

Double click iscan-2.11.0-1.c2.i386.deb to install the package.

Then in a terminal, run the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Check in the file the following line in it:

epkowa

Otherwise, add it (the list) and save the file.

If you use Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, you will also edit the file in the directory / etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules (this change is not specific to this scanner, but to all the scanner does not work after a migration from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10):

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules

Change the following lines:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664 # USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664 "

in:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0777"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0777"

Restart the computer, turn on the printer and connect to the PC.

Normally, launching Applications> Graphics> XSane, the software should run without giving any error message.

Finally if you want to use iScan for scanning, run a terminal command:

alacarte

Then, please choose Graphics from the list that appears, then New Item. In name enter iScan and enter iscan command. You can customize the icon. Close the window, go to Applications> Graphics> iScan. Start a prévisulalisation to make sure everything works.

So, hoping you have removed a thorn from the side!

Here is an interesting initiative: to gather in a search engine all error messages and error codes associated.

ErrorKey will enable you to put words on error codes sometimes very little explicit! So, admittedly, this search engine so you might be unable to remedy your problem, but he at least has the merit of explaining the outline.

I still adds that Google is not bad at this game, and that he, allows via forums, often find a solution.

In short, two tools to use in a complementary way when you face an "Error 0xC0029173", a little too terse.

Long-announced, postponed many times, the release of the Meizu M8 finally seems set for Nov. 30 ... in China!

This is the marketing manager of J.Wong iPhone-Killer who announced on the website of the Chinese manufacturer.

He was expected even before the release of the iPhone, but the Meizu M8 has suffered numerous delays in its development. At the CeBIT in Germany we had even seen the police investigate and seize the prototype of the M8, suspected counterfeit.

For now the phone is still awaiting a license to market the Chinese government, but Meizu hope to get it in the shortest possible time in order to market the M8 in markets abroad.

In terms of functionality, the M8 should be provided with the 3G/EDGE, a 3M pixel camera, WiFi, an FM radio, an internet browser and of course a multimedia player. Will certainly add many applications.

Finally, the 8GB version is expected to be priced at € 269 and the 16GB version has about 326 €.

Thank you for the info to Jb.

After Rawzer , here Mega Leech a new search engine Megaupload .

For those who do not know, Megaupload (like Rapidshare ) hosts and offers to download reams of data. In addition to TV episodes or software whose copyrights have been violated, it is also possible to find legal content!

Thank you for the info to tb.

Want to become a blogger "bling bling", then add the pub on Twitter!

Several sites allow you to add advertising to your Twitter account. After advertising in RSS feeds, one had to happen one day.

So far the kinds of sites Twittad allowed to add advertisements to your Twitter page. Only downside to this practice is that very few people read your tweets directly to your personal page, but rather via their own page or via a Twitter client.

The impact of such advertising can easily be questioned and it was also the subject of an article on Techcrunch .

However, I just found an alternative to Twittad called Magpie . This site automatically publishes advertising directly to your tweets! So you have more followers, more publicity will impact more and you'll be paid.

The service proposes to target ads based on the theme of your tweets and frequency of your publications to not scare away your readers.

But the question remains how will react readership. Will it simply ignore the tweets tagged # magpie or by resentments, he will prefer you stop reading just because he is already overrun with enough advertising on the net?

Personally, I think we need a certain density of publishing content (interesting) on Twitter, pretend to keep its readers by setting up such a campaign.

If someone is already using this service, please let me know your feedback.

It's done! Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex is available in final version ( official announcement )!

As with the previous version, I suggest you the info on Live, with links that work already for download.

Of course, and saw the crowds on the servers, it is possible that the download pages are temporarily unavailable. This is why I urge you to download the latest version via BitTorrent. The files. Torrent are listed here .

Dispossession for formal or http or ftp, here are those that are current:

• Download on the official server! (preferred)
• On the FTP OLEANE

Finally, for those of you who would be stumbled across this page and who wonders what Ubuntu Linux and that famous, I invite you to read this article: Discover Linux: What is GNU / Linux? .
