Random slideshow of wallpapers

Image
By
In Linux I had a lot of wallpapers and I wanted a random slideshow of all of them properly scaled to fullscreen.
I tried Picasa and F-spot but both were inadequate because they started from the first picture and went on linearly. So, I used FEH instead.

$ sudo apt-get install feh

Now, to get a slideshow of random random walllpapers stored in a folder the following command is very useful -

$ feh -zsdrZFD 15 wallpapers/

Explanation :
-z, --randomize When viewing multiple files in a slideshow,
-Z, --auto-zoom Zoom picture to screen size in fullscreen mode,
-d, --draw-filename Draw the filename at the top-left of the image.
-s, --stretch Normally, if an image is smaller than the specified
thumbnail size, it will not be enlarged. If this
option is set, the image will be scaled up to fit
the thumbnail size. (Aspect ratio will be maintained
unless --ignore-aspect is specified)
-r, --recursive Recursively expand any directories in FILE to
the content of those directories. (Take it easy)
-D, --slideshow-delay NUM For slideshow mode, specifies time delay (seconds,
can be a decimal) between automatically changing
slides.

Fastest way to send multiple drafts from gmail

By
People claim that the fastest way to send multiple email drafts is to use Gmail IMAP with email client like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird. But I have found this is not true. Because Thunderbird and Evolution etc. email clients treats the drafts as emails still to be edited. So it is not just simple select all and hit send. Each email draft has to be opened and sent separately. That is a lot of clicks and mouse movements, wasting precious time and energy. I have a better solution which involves minimum keystrokes and mouse usage. Efficiency booster technique for sending emails. If someone is feeling adventurous and want to try it from the Gmail interface itself, here's how to do it in the fastest possible manner. It involves using the mouse once. Select the first draft. Gmail would open a new email box and put the cursor inside the box to write. Press TAB once to go the Send button. Press ENTER to send. Now Gmail sends it and the box is gone but the highlight goes to the last

Changing the font size of section headings in LaTex

By
You have several ways to do so: 1.- A direct redefinition of \section: \makeatletter \renewcommand\section{\@startsection{section}{1}{\z@}%                                   {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%                                   {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%                                   {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} \makeatother 2.- By means of the titlesec package: \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\section}{\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{} 3.- By means of the sectsty package: \usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{\large} source : http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3245   Now, I would explain the titlesec package a bit more (because it seems easier to me and with more options) : To change the section fonts with this package put the following lines in the preamble - \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\ section }{\ large \ bfseries }{\thesection}{1em}{} Options available are- a> Font size - \normals
