  • Sometimes Oralia boils water in the kettle, and adds a stick of cinnamon to make an infusion. The other day I heard the kettle boiling and I thought, "time for some green tea!". I didn't notice that the water was actually cinnamon, and made my tea as usual.

    Well, hot damn, green tea made with cinnamon water turned out to be *good stuff*. I think I could grow an addiction to this.

  • Labels for RANDR monitors

    When you configure multiple monitors, it is useful to know which physical monitor corresponds to each element in the configuration GUI. Both KDE and MacOS display cute labels on each monitor.

    I implemented pretty much the same thing for GNOME, with the addition of color-coding. Hello, sexy:

    Labels for the tray icon's menu Labels for the display capplet

    This is in the following Git repositories (look at the monitor-labeling branches in all of them, and also tray-icon-rotation for gnome-settings-daemon):

    This is just awaiting approval from the the release team to be committed to SVN :)
