GWT on Ubuntu
Had a hard job getting this to work. But as usual the solution is quite simple:
- Download and unzip http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/tools/redist/mozilla/mozilla-1.7.13.tar.gz
- Add $INSTALLED_MOZILLA (e.g. /code/mozilla-1.7.13) to mozilla-hosted-browser.conf in the GWT
- Add $INSTALLED_MOZILLA (e.g. /code/mozilla-1.7.13) to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf (can be any file in that dir ending in conf)
- run ldconfig
- Start your app and have fun!
If you see gwt-linux-1.5.2/libgwt-ll.so: undefined symbol: JS_PropertyStub then your mozilla-hosted-browser.conf needs to be set to the downloaded mozilla from set 1. Looks like the newer Firefox and Seamonkey dont have this symbol.

Web 2.0
I'm really starting to love teh "web 2.0". My latest toy is ping.fm. It allows you to update multiple services. I have my twitter and indenti.ca setup so that one entry on ping.fm pushes the update to both services.
