Ever needed some extra Gimp brushes? They are are abundantly available over at DeviantArt! I was stunned to discover this, since I know both Gimp and DeviantArt for a long time, and didn’t know that DA was a great gimp resource..
how about:
“const applies to what is on its left”
So 1 and 2 are the same, they both point to fixed text with variable pointer. 3 has fixed pointer with variable text. If const is first, move it one token to the right.
this is just a reminder for myself 
Just testing the blog publishing feature in Google Docs.. Quite nice of Google to also support other blog API’s besides the Blogger API
(open)SUSE is a wonderful distro, but with its latest release, 10.1, there definitely was something wrong. In trying to overhaul the whole packaging/updating system, they messed up pretty bad. I reinstalled my 10.1 about 5 times so far, and am still not satisfied The updating process is simply a pain the ….. back.
However, suse fans all over the world, please rejoice! as the openSUSE team has rereleased a fully patched 10.1! openSUSE team, I love you! I am really happy the suse team bravely admitted that this updating issue was a major showstopper and that they did something about it!
thanks David for reporting this important news so fast
