Pandora + Rhythmbox - a dream combination!

I had to restart my browser so many times because other webpages with flash content messed with Pandora flash player. So I searched exhaustively and found out a way to play Pandora in Rhythmbox!! -- sweet!!

Here is the stuff you need to do:

You need to install Pithos first:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kevin-mehall/pithos-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pithos

Then you install this plugin:
cd && wget http://webupd8.googlecode.com/files/rhythmbox-pandora.tar.gz
tar -xvf rhythmbox-pandora.tar.gz
cd pandora && chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh

Restart rhythmbox and goto Edit->Plugins->Pandora and select it. Give your pandora credentials and it should work like a charm.

Enjoy!!

Syncing bookmarks

I always had tough time synchronizing things between my laptop, desktop, workstation in the lab and found ugly solutions to overcome it for the past few years. Finally, I learnt about syncing google account with the chrome browser which syncs my browser settings, apps and most important bookmarks! Volla! All you need to do is goto preferences of chrome browser and in the "personal stuff" tab give your gmail credentials and you are good to go!!
