jEdit and phpParserPlugin
Last month ( december 2008 ), a new version of the phpParserPlugin was released for jEdit.
For any jEdit users, you can download it using your Plugin manager. If you find any trouble updating the plugin, just uninstall it and install it again ( although that worked for me)
jEdit rocks!

Enhance your (Ubuntu) GNOME experience
Gnome, the way it is delivered with Ubuntu, is already pretty usefull. But I wasn't writing this post if I was convinced that there was a way to enhance it any further!.
Ok, let's bring on the magic in two enhancements for this time..
- Gnome Do
- Slab / new Gnome main menu
Well, that doesnt bring you any further does it? So allow me to explain it any further...
Gnome Do
GNOME Do allows you to quickly search for many items present in your GNOME desktop environment and perform useful actions on those items. GNOME Do is inspired by Quicksilver (for Mac Os X) and GNOME Launch Box.
Slab / Gnome Main Menu
Slab is the name of the new Gnome Main Menu which has a better design then the "default" menu layouts we are used with Gnome.
So how to install?
Installing these is easy, for Gnome Do it is:
# sudo apt-get install gnome-do
For Slab just do the following:
# sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu
NOTE! - If you install "beagle" before gnome-main-menu, the menu has also a built in search option. For me this is a bit unnecessary, because I use "gnome do" to search applications, files and everything else...
Because most people forgot..
Yeah, most people forget to mention how to use the application they describe...
For Gnome-Do you can start it pressing "Windows"-button + "Space"-bar.
Then type in the application you'd like to start, and press enter... and then it just runs 
For the new menu, just remove it from your gnome panel, clicking your right mouse button on top of the current menu and click "Remove..."
Then click on the right mouse button above the gnome panel and choose "Add to panel.." Then Choose the "main menu bar" with the computer icon in front of it.
Have fun with it!
