I'm uncertain if plugin is the proper term but I hope you guys can interpret what I mean. Does something of this nature exist? If not, however, I understand the process of building such a feature would require advanced user(s) but I would be keenly interested in hearing the essence of the procedure and/or subjects that would be of value to study.</p> <p>Thank you very much.</p>YesAlfredWed, 15 Feb 2012 20:26:30 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2783/real-time-sports-coverage-pluginstreamingapplicationdesktophttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/2703/solved-looking-for-a-lightweight-calender-application<p>Hello</p> <p>I'm looking for a calender application, if it contains a contact module, that's just fine - but it has to be lightweight (Running it on a VIA C3 Ezra så I either need to be able to compile it rather qiock or the binary has to be i586 optimized or less) and it has to be able to sync with my Google Calender.</p> <p>Any such applications around ?</p>flywheelSun, 18 Sep 2011 14:27:35 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2703/solved-looking-for-a-lightweight-calender-applicationapplicationgooglelinuxhttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/646/slide-show-software<p>I need to create a presentation that cycles through a bunch of still pictures while playing some music clips in background. My M$ using friends say that they use power point for this kind of task. I don't do windows.
