Hey

I came across your blog and I really have no way of contacting you. I know you're pro-Android but I need your recommendations on this new Nokia product – Nokia C6

Thanks. Hope all is well in BBY.

Comment on Random Ubuntu tip of the day—Spell check everywhere by Luke

I tried this and the script didn't behave the way that I expected. I loved the idea thought so I made some changes. Instead of using xclip I used xsel. I found that by using xsel I could get the output from the spell checker to properly be put in the clipboard. I wasn't able to access where xclip was putting the final result with ctrl-v in applications. This was a problem since I wanted to quickly paste the correct spelling back into the application where I was working. Here is what I did.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Copy clipboard contents to a temp file
xsel -ob > /tmp/spell.tmp
# Run aspell on that file
aspell check /tmp/spell.tmp
# Copy the results back to the clipboard
cat /tmp/spell.tmp | xsel -ib
exit

Yup, the Hero looks like the best HTC device out there.

HTC Magic is selling for 30k (30k!) in India. I'm going to wait for a few months, and let the prices go down.
