TweetDeck for Ubuntu Linux

TweetDeck is a pretty fancy (perhaps the most fancy!) Twitter client for your desktop that I have come across. It has nearly all the features I'd want out of a Twitter client. It also runs under Adobe Air, which means it is portable cross-platform (to a point, I guess). I use it when I'm not on the iPod Touch on Mac OS X, and it's great.
Adobe Air is now available for Linux, and I have installed it on my Ubuntu Linux 8.04 workstation, and it works for the most part, although it seems to be a bit of a hog, and it seems to, um, "disappear". The notifications show up at the upper right, so I can regrab the window from those when it does go missing.

Here's a thing; when I went to download TweetDeck the downloader told me I required Flash Player 10.0.15.3. I don't know if I have that or not (don't really care to troubleshoot it under Linux at the moment) but I had a copy on my iMac. I snagged that .air file and it managed to install via the Adobe AIR Application Installer in my Gnome dropdown menu.

Hello world, I just transferred my Wordpress install!
That was really, really easy. It even pulled down any associated images from my installs. Kudos to Wordpress! This is by far my favorite blogging software.

Vertical Tabs in Firefox are the new hotness
If you've got a big enough screen (and big enough for me is 1024x768) you might want to consider "tree style" vertical tabs in Firefox. I don't think it'll fit everyone's taste, but it suits me fine. Opera makes it pretty easy to mess with your browser's UI, but I wanted the power of Firefox[1]; luckily it seems like someone else feels the same way.
So I often have a dozen or more tabs open; having them open at the top of the browser makes them more difficult to navigate. The Tree Style Tab addon will add the tabs to the left side of your browser window in a tree. So if you open a tab from another tab, that tab becomes part of the tree. Pretty awesome.
