How do you manage power with Openbox on laptop?

What do you use to check the battery power with Openbox. On other distros, there is generally a popup when the battery has reached a low level.
I would like to know how other people manage it. Do you try to reproduce other distro's behavior?

For the extra lazy you could always just use xfce4-power-manager and some kind of taskbar with a tray.  Though I think this kind of goes against the whole idea of setting things up in manually in a customized way.
I use i3, and the default i3status (the program that feeds info the i3bar) has an option for battery levels.  I made it so that it turns blood red when I get to a certain percentage.  In terms of a total WM agnostic solution, you could always just have a cronjob run a script that checks the level, then throws up an xdialog box telling you about low battery levels, and then even have it shutdown/hibernate/suspend at a certain level.

    how do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?

    Are you talking about photos that were synced to your phone? If so, the photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to extract these photos from your phone, you'll have to use third-party software to do so. Note: photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on your phone, there is no way to recover their full resolution.

  • How do YOU manage multiple displays in Mountain Lion?

    I'm finding that Mountain Lion's changed display management awfully hard to rationalize. I recently purchased a Macbook Air. I love it, but as a developer I did need more screen real estate. A few days ago I plugged an external 22" monitor in and was horrified to discover that a) full-screen mode renders one display worthless b) flipping between spaces flips BOTH screens.
    This is entirely incomprehensible to me, but I'll leave the question of the wisdom of the decision for others to debate.
    What I want to do is simple. Either:
    a) be able to flip between spaces on either display INDEPENDENT of the other
    and/or
    b) Flip between spaces on one display while leaving the other untouched. For example, using one as a reference screen while flipping between the browser and my code editor.
    So, fellow developers and power users, how do YOU manage this scenario? Is there some 3rd-party utility that allows me to easily restore the functionality I had in previous versions of OSX?

    Why not start here.

    How do you manage junk mail on Iphone 4s when syncing with MS Outlook

    There is no setting on the iPhone. That is what I told you in the first post. Your email client on the computer probably has a junk filter built in or something you can set. The only way to filter email on the iPhone is at the server.

  • How do you manage Playlists on a manually managed iPod Classic?

    I'm going to get an iPod Classic since I have a huge music collection.
    Most of this music is not in iTunes, and won't fit on my computer.
    I have read that I can set iTunes to "Manually manage music and videos" for the device.
    Then I can simply drag and drop music onto the iPod from the Finder (e.g. from an external drive).
    But I also want Playlists on the iPod.
    (Not the songs in iTunes on some playlist -- just the listing of some songs.)
    Can I compose playlists (that reference the MP3 files I am downloading) in some fashion,
    and then drag them over to the iPod, and have it recognize them as playlists for the music
    files that I have dragged onto the iPod?
    I am imagining this would involve creating/editing some XML files with some magic names
    or extensions and dropping them onto the iPod.  (Or, when I do this "Manually manage..."
    thing and go into the device via Finder, will I see a folder there named "Playlists" or something?)
    Something like that?
    How do you manage Playlists on a manually managed iPod Classic?
    (I'm on Mavericks on the computer, of course.
    I could boot Windows or Linux if needed.)

    I have just found out how to do this:
    Connect your iPod:
    Under DEVICES you will see an arrow (on the left hand side, next to your IPod. If you are unable to display your songs the arrow will be pointing to the right. By clicking on this arrow it will point down, all of your songs will appear. Under Preferences uncheck Auto Sync then you can manually add / delete.

  • How do you manage RequestCenter in your organization?

    How do you manage RequestCenter in your organization?
    We are involved in discussions/debate as to where RequestCenter/Request Management falls in the organization.
    Some feel that building services in RC constitutes development and thus should fall under the companies development organization and be managed as such (e.g. Code Management, Version Control, Code Migration Policies, Separation of Duties etc.). Others feel it is not development and fits in the engineering/operations side of the house and managed accordingly.
    We are currently managing RC/Request Management in our engineering/operations side of the house. Most of the team do not have “hard core” development backgrounds and are doing quite well with the product, although a little development knowledge does help.
    From the newScale website – “Active Form Components: For an actionable Service Catalog with streamlined request fulfillment, end users must be able to easily request services using an intuitive and interactive online form. With the new active form components feature, service designers can quickly create and update complex interactive form elements that can be re-used throughout the catalog without any programming required.”
    I would be interested to know how your company is managing your installation of RC in your organization.

    I see RC as falling in the operations side of the organization, and that's how we'll likely develop support for the service.  We're new to implementing the product, so I can't give any advice on past experience, just my vision for the product and how we might develop and roll services out to the organization.

  • HT4759 how do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by verizon

    How do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by Verizon?  The only contacts that show up in icloud are the ones I entered myself to the phone.

    You'll need to copy them to iCloud in order to see them on your PC.  To do this, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from Verizon) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the Verizon contacts back to your phone.  They should now be in iCloud, and appear on your PC.  You may see duplicate contacts on your phone because you are still viewing both the contacts from Verizon as well as the copies now in iCloud.
    Open Contacts on your phone and tap Groups, tap the Groups that were imported from Verizon so they are unchecked and tap Done.  This will hide them from view and illiminate the duplicates.

  • How do you manage multiple emails in ios8?

    How do you manage multiple emails from one sender in ios8? In iOS 7 you used to be able to search the sender and then edit, select and move.. I can't seem to find this feature anymore.

    After you have done the search, you can swipe downward slightly on the keyboard and it will disappear and you will see "EDIT" in the bottom right corner. You can tap on that, select whatever emails you want and then you are given the choice to "Mark, Move, Trash, Cancel". It will even verify the number of mails you have selected.

  • Noob question... How do you familiarize yourself with a library?

    I'm very new to Java and programming in general. but I am currently reading some beginner books for Java. From what I've read, libraries are nothing more than prewritten code which you can call to use in your programs. My question is how do you familiarize yourself with the libraries? With so many different libraries, how do you find out what they are capable of? Is is simply diving in it and analyzing the code? Can you create your own libraries? If so, what is the advantage of creating a library instead of baking the code right into the program? Why advantage do you have with referencing an outside file for code over having a self contained program?

    but I am currently reading some beginner books for Java. From what I've read, libraries are nothing more than prewritten code which you can call to use in your programs. Yes indeed. Why reinvent the wheel?
    My question is how do you familiarize yourself with the libraries? Gradually.
    With so many different libraries, how do you find out what they are capable of? The best way is by working through a good Java book.
    Is is simply diving in it and analyzing the code? You can do that, too.
    Can you create your own libraries?Yes.
    If so, what is the advantage of creating a library instead of baking the code right into the program? 1. You can analyze it and test it separately.
    2. You can reuse it separately.
    Why advantage do you have with referencing an outside file for code over having a self contained program?Are you asking the same question, just with different wording?
