Flash Plugin for Ubuntu 64

Long time since last post, but at least a useful bit of information. On Ubuntu 11.04 64bit if you install the flashplugin-installer, either alone or as part of the metapackage ubuntu-restricted-extras you will get…. surprise, a 32bit flaash plugin! Very annoying, also because it does not work very well.

Just install adobe-flushplugin instead: it will uninstall the old version and you will get a proper 64bit version :)

Ubuntu: disable indexing

If you are a developer the last thing you want running on your system is an indexing daemon, that keeps the cpu busy and eats precious i/o. If you’re like me, you want to get rid of it as soon as you can! Yes, we all know that the thing is “configurable”, but anyway it keeps eating resources and it will also slow down your desktop (if you have one)
So, just go to synaptic (or apt. if you are a command line guy) and remove “tracker” and related dependencies. Be sure to remove also “beagle”, you may have installed in some previous life :)

As ordinary selenium “click” method does not work, you can use this sequence:

clickAt     //tr[td='tabName'] 0,0
mouseDownAt //tr[td='tabName'] 0,0
mouseUpAt   //tr[td='tabName'] 0,0

Credits to my friend Ricardo!

If you need just to click a GWT  image button you can check here.

There Will Be Code

“Remember that code is really the language in which we ultimately express the requirements. We may create languages that are closer to the requirements. We may create tools that help us parse and assemble those requirements into formal structures. But we will never eliminate necessary precision — so there will always be code.”

Robert C. Martin – Clean Code
