Converting Gedit into Textmate

Yes, so lately I have been developing using the Ruby on Rails framework a lot. To my irony there ain't much choice nor there exist any really really good IDE or editor for Rails on Ubuntu(or rather Linux in general). You could use VIM or Emacs but for some reason that I cant understand I choose not to use them.

My favorite text editor on ubuntu was Gedit. Although by default you don't get a hell lot of features in it but the best I liked was tabbed browsing. I guess thats a common thing in most Linux GUI based applications. Ok so this is what your Gedit would look like:
Hmm.. so lets quickly start the process of changing Gedit into something close to textmate:
1) Lets quickly download Jose's Gedit bundle.
2) Edit the mime types file and add the below mentioned lines

sudo nano /etc/mime.types

text/x-ruby-source                           rhtml html.erb
text/x-eruby                                 rjs
text/x-yaml                                  yml

3) Update the new extensions mime types

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

4) Copy the x-rhtml to the directory /usr/share/mime/packages

sudo cp gmate2/mime/x-rhtml.xml /usr/share/mime/packages

5) Copy extensions ruby.lang, rhtml.lang and rjs.lang the directory /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs

sudo cp gmate2/langs/*.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs

6) Update plugins

cp -R gmate2/plugins/* ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/

7) Copy the snippets (cuts)

cp -R gmate2/snippets/*  ~/.gnome2/gedit/snippets/

8) Copy the colors

cp gmate2/styles/Rubycius.xml  ~/.gnome2/gedit/styles/

9) Remove a directory of your gnome settings

rm -Rf /tmp/gconfd-warlock

where warlock is your username.

10) Open the Gedit and on the menu: Edit> Preferences> Plugins tab and:

• Gemini (May auto complete parentheses, quotation marks, brackets, etc.)
• Snippets
• Snap Open (the key combination of CTRL + ALT + O opens a dialog where you can find the files you want)

11) Choose the theme "Rubycius" on the menu: Edit> Preferences tab "Fonts and Colors"

12) Finally, if you want in the menu: Edit> Preferences tab "View" can: Show line numbers, and current line Highlight Show right margin.

If for some reason the formating dont appear then quickly go to the terminal and hit

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

If everything is done right you should get this sort of output(text highlighting) for your files you open:

domain names

I once heard, "So whats in the name" and now I can very firmly say its all in the domain name.... today I will be talking about few domain names and their peculiar characteristics. People own long domain names to catch attention and it is the same with people who own really short domain names. Generic word domains are got for their obvious marketing value. So I would put t in this way... every domain name has some interest attached to it.. if it doesn't then it wouldn't survive as a domain name.

SHORTEST domain names

The shortest known domain name right now was recently acquired by Google, with the purpose of making it easier for Chinese users to find Google?s main site. The domain name is "g.cn". Most single letter domain names are supposed to be reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). However, there are a few cases of this not being so:

* http://www.Z.com owned by Nissan
* http://www.Q.comowned by Qwest
* http://www.X.com owned by PayPal.

Google was not allowed by IANA to buy g.com, but they got lucky and found a one letter-shorter alternative in "g.cn".
