Since November 2009 I’ve been playing Modern Warfare 2 with a bunch of online friends and while the game is not without its problems, I have absolutely fallen in love with its party and matchmaking system. It’s great to be able to just hook up with a bunch of friends and not have to concern [...]

Something related to the previous post and something that I think would be quite useful is if GNOME Do’s Window Manager plugin by Jason Smith supported textually searching through the window titles and then focusing the application it found.

I was interested in somebody usage of Tomboy and this made me think about how recording screencasts has become incredibly easy with recordMyDesktop, but the process afterwards could probably still be improved.
