So what is it for?

Download: go.lang

I f you don’t have a /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ directory, check where your gnome is based and search for similar files like java.lang or c.lang. Then install go.lang and restart gedit - (more about this on gnome.org)

Please report any bugs here! Thanks.

NOTE: I am sure willing to contribute this file to the gnome base distribution, but don’t know how… so please feel free to do that - and please keep me informed. Thanks.

To have gedit detect automatically which highlighting to apply to go files, it is necessary to map a mime type. If go doesn’t yet have a mime type specified then you need to create a new one. It is good practice to also put the custom user mime types in a local user directory. For the mime type database this is: ~/.local/share/mime. You will need to add a new mime type specification file in the directory ~/.local/share/mime/packages (create it if it doesn’t exist yet). Add a file go.xml in that directory which looks like this:

<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
  <mime-type type="text/x-go">
    <comment>Go Source</comment>
    <!-- more translated comment elements -->
    <glob pattern="*.go"/>
  </mime-type>
</mime-info>

Important here is to specify a type (text/x-go) and the glob pattern to match the file to the mime type. Once you’ve created the file, go to the directory ~/.local/share and run: update-mime-database mime. The mime types should now be registered and after a restart of gedit your language should automatically be mapped to the correct files.

We appreciate all the feedback from people who searched on our Caffeine sandbox.
Based on the success we’ve seen, we believe Caffeine is ready for a larger audience. Soon we will activate Caffeine more widely, beginning with one data center. This sandbox is no longer necessary and has been retired, but we appreciate the testing and positive input that webmasters and publishers have given.

Time to set up your SERP tests for the next weeks!

Testing before productive use is strongly recommended!

Stay tuned…

So, the question is: Are Microsoft programmers lousy? Or is Microsoft still offending the Internet as far as possible? While I don’t think a great deal of them, I am sure they could do it better - BUT I am almost sure, that Ballmer is not willing to believe that times change. Fat client computing is dying, all what Microsoft does with their villainously products is delaying the agony.

They’re hurting the substantial progress of our society - just for their selfish vegetate. And they’re hurting us web developers by forcing us to support their crap.

Yesterday we went to public with another very complex Drupal 6 project. It’s kind of a “local collaboration” platform with classical news attributes.
Pretty much of the business is done in a self-developed module but we also use lot’s of contributed modules from Drupal.org:

cck - to create content types
checkbox_validate + legal - for registration issues
computed_field - for workflows and hidden attributes
content_taxonomy - for taxonomies in cck types
event - for events
fivestar - for content rating
flag - for flagging content for several reasons
flatcomments - to avoid comment-threading
image - for images
masquerade - for testing
mass_contact - for mailings
nice_menus - for some dropdowns as second level navigation
pathauto - for nice URLs
privatemsg - for user postboxes
quicktabs - for tabbed blocks in the sidebar
user_stats - for some forum enrichments
views - for customized views on cck types
votingapi - for fivestar
workflow - for workflows like published purchased content

… puh, that’s a lot - and there are still some modules missing.
Maybe you wanna take a look at isartal.info?

Again I was using

• cck - for my project type and listings
• views - for views
• date - for cck date fields
• token and pathauto - for url naming
• image - for attached images

And as always I’ve written a supporting module to provide some data (like a month name array) and blocks.
