andLinux “Cannot open display” problems…

pidgin and skype?
I recently discovered the existence of a Skype API Plugin for Pidgin, so you can manage all contacts from one central window. Obviously, (due to the closed protocol) Skype has to run in the background for this to work, but still this is a very nice feature.
[Update]: unfortunately the plugin crashes pidgin every once in a while, haven’t done any debugging so far… maybe a more recent version works better…
sort/re-order your photos on the iphone / ipod touch
as always, apple thinks they know what’s best for the user and keep him from adjust anything to its gusto… ever wondered why the photos you sync to your iphon/ipod are completely random and out of order? no matter about filenames or meta-information like exif? no way to sort them? grrrr
well, the filename doesn’t count (otherwise digikam would be a solution by batch-renaming your favorite pictures): no, it’s the file’s timestamp (to be precise, the timestamp of the last change)!!
here’s a neat script to adjust those timestamps so the photos get sorted by mapping an ascending order from the filenames to their respective timestamp:
