  • Menos

    Nice quote, I totally agree with it.

    “No matter how beautiful, no matter how cool your interface, it would be better if there were less of it.”

    Alan Cooper.

    So today as an exercise, I bumped this site’s theme from 0.97 to 0.98. Mostly minor changes to reduce clutter. Added some color to the links to improve usability. Some minor changes to improve multi-language support.

    Still far from beautiful and cool…

  • UPDATED, Finally! Adobe releases native 64 bit Flash 11 for Linux

    UPDATED Jul 23/2011

    Finally we have a native 64bit Flash 11. It is working very well, I highly recommend it.

    Before installing it, make sure that previous versions of Flash and nspluginwrapper are uninstalled.

    Download it from:
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11/flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz
     untar, copy and link  libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins by doing the following in the terminal. (make sure you close Firefox first)

    tar zxvf flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/

    Done!

    Or, alternatively (you should always read and understand scripts before running them) you can do this installation just by copying and pasting the following in the terminal:

    wget https://blog.alejandrocuervo.com/downloads/flash_x64_en.sh && sudo chmod +x flash_x64_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash_x64_en.sh

    This script will install Native 64 Bit Flash 11 and will also remove previous versions of flash and “nspluginwrapper”
    Note: If you just want to see the code for the script, it is available here:
