gnote off Ubuntu Maverick

Finally gave up on gnote on Ubuntu as a linux alternative to Evernote ( I refuse to install Mono just to run Tomboy notes.)

How much to install just to get worrisome compiler warniings and then runtime errors?  Boost, for starters.

apt-get got me a gnote for maverick that was a non-starter.  Hours later I still could not get gnote to build free of fatal runtime errors.

In hindsight, I would have put the effort into spec'ing out my own linux client to Evernote - which I already use on other devices.

PHP nanoweb on Ubuntu

I was restarting the latest Ubuntu PHP nanoweb on my netbook when I saw a shell script error message.  A run through the file nanoctl in my /usr/sbin revealed a few issues - particular if trying to use the simple status option.  To make matters worse, the script is hard-coded with "lynx" as the browser name -  while my Ubuntu defaults to Galeon (but I prefer Epiphany.)

If you care to look over an alternative, I have a version with extension .sh over at aule-browser.com

The edited version is set for the Gnome Epiphany browser for linux - you may wish to edit  the BROWSER var. Note that the /usr/sbin/nanoweb file is what is commonly referred to as nanoweb.php

Like PHP programming, unix shell scripting sometimes can be a somewhat arcane art.
