Using Gedit

I have started using Gedit (hopefully for a long time) as an editor.
I found some interesting sites for enhancing its functionality.

This is a great plugin to use GEdit as a Latex Editor.

Make sure you install rubber(a latex tool) before you start using the plugin.

Here is a list of all Gedit plugins

Tweaking VMWare performance

I was trying to tweak the performance of WinXP on VMWare on my Ubuntu machine

Found some tips

I am not sure if it really did make a big difference.

Setting up HP LaserJet printer in the 503 attic from VMware

Setting up the Laser Printer from VMWare WinXP running on Ubuntu

Add a Local Printer
Choose a Standard TCP/IP port
Get the IP address from the printer which is 129.67.151.141

After saying OK you will get another window to setup the printer
Choose HP LaserJet 4050 Series PS

Voila, print a test page and you are all set.
