Vote for my WordPress story!
Exactly month ago I had posted WordPress story of Rarst.net that happily made it to contest finals. I won’t pour on you heartbreaking details about how I want to win and get that nice hosting prize… because I see no reason for you to be concerned about that. I can handle stuff like hosting myself. :) Still.
- if you like this blog;
- want to easily help and promote it a bit;
- have few second of time;
Spare me two clicks and vote for rarst.net :) Thanks in advance.

Change interface language in auto-detecting GTK apps
I was somewhat puzzled by encountering few apps (GIMP and Inkscape for which I had recently posted link to excellent tutorial) that defaulted their interface to language of Windows installation and gave no option to change it.
It can be quite inconvenient because it is often easier to work with complex interface in original language rather than [lacking] translation.

How to ask tech question and get answer
Novice users may perceive that those who are more tech savvy never have a need to ask. On the contrary – the more you know the deeper holes you will dig for yourself and the more often you will have to look for answer and advice.

Today I was tired (it’s HOT here lately) and in no particular mood to write so that led me through my research bookmarks to Q10 – text editor that urges to adopt distraction-free writing.

Desktopwallpaper.org – another wallpapers site
I got email from Giles Dawe about my post on Interfacelift, suggesting that I should also check out Desktop Wallpaper site.
I must admit that Interfacelift is probably best wallpapers site that I am aware of, but the more the merrier. Let’s see what this one has to offer.

OpenOffice.org (plus portable)
I had thought for a while what should I write in a post about OpenOffice. Frankly it is not one of my core apps.
However it is one of the very important apps overall so I will write exactly about that.
