Force of Nature

Eddie Vedder said “Force of Nature” is “about the strength of one person in the relationship, when they can withstand some of the faults in another.”
Force of Nature / Pearl Jam (Backspacer)
Understand She’s a Force of Nature
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exercising her will to lose control
She let’s go
Common Man he don’t stand a chance no
One to love who allowed his in the hole
No way to save someone who wont take the role
And just let’s go
One Man Stands the edge of the ocean
A beacon on dry land
Eyes above the horizon
In the dark before the dawn
Hurricane has the trade winds blowing
Gale force shaking windows in the storm
Shipwreck from a love that he calls home
One light on
Somewhere there’s a siren singing
Solemnly he hears
All the strengths you might think would
Disappear resolving
One man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
[ Pearl Jam Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Eyes above the horizon
In the dark before the
Darkness leaves the dawn
Makes me ache
Makes me shake
Is it so wrong to think that
Love can keep us safe?
Last I saw he was out there waiting
A silhouette in the black light full moon
In the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore
Somewhere there’s a siren singing
Solemnly he hears
All the strength
That you might think would disappear, resolving
One man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
Eyes are closed, you cannot know
But his heart don’t seem to know…
Grow…
Home…
Smart Put news
26 de Dezembro de 2008, 0:00 - sem comentários aindaMassimo Mund, Marco Diego and myself have been working on Smart Put plugin.
Smart Put is a kind of Best Fit algorithm to Compiz Windows. This plugins tries to find the best(largest area) gap for windows.
If it can’t find a good gap, Smart Put can(if option is enabled) :
- Stack the window onto an underlying window.
- OR shrink to fit.
And finally, Smart Put has a undo too 
All these new features were developed by Massimo Mund. Thanks man.
Here’s a video:
Try it out and tell us about any request,input,feature,…
$ git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/edgurgel/smartput
P.S.: I’m working on a Smart Put port to Compiz++. Till there.
Swap
30 de Novembro de 2008, 0:00 - sem comentários aindaAlmost one month ago we presented New plugins. One of them was Swap plugin. Let me explain it better now:
Purpose
We were missing a plugin that could just exchange properties. Sometimes you just need to minimize a window and “unminimize” other. To do it, you would need to perform 2 or more clicks. So, we created Swap!
Description
It allows you to swap the geometry of two windows. Basically we changed Static Switcher plugin to swap active window with another window.
Here’s a video to show what Swap can do:
Get it here: Code
P.S.: Forró is the genre of the music. Forró is a kind of Northeastern Brazilian music.
Merge

Maximumize Plus and Minimumize plugins were shared one month ago by me and Marco Diego (Bacharel Marcola).
October 20th,
Maximumize2 (Maximumize Plus) release:

Yesterday Kristian Lyngstol (Maximumize maintainer) talked with me to merge our code. Result:
Massive import from maximumizeplus
We’re luck that Compiz-Fusion uses the Bazzar[2] way of developing. After one month we are helping to develop CF and noone opposed our development!
So, if you can help, come on!
P.S.: I really needed to expose my happiness

Window Management on Compiz-Fusion – New Plugins
7 de Novembro de 2008, 0:00 - sem comentários aindaWell, on the last post we (Eduardo Gurgel aka edgurgel & Marco Diego aka Bacharel Marcola) said that new useful plugins were coming soon. This is a brief look on what we’re currently working and a preview on what else is coming.
Compiz has been well taught since its inception as a beautiful, feature-rich (in terms of bling and effects), modern window manager. Although we agree in most of what is said about compiz, its abilities for window placement, window distribution and good use of screen real state were terribly lacking compared to other window managers such as tiled-window-managers (ion, wmii, dwm…). We’ve been working to minimize this inferiority.
For those who can’t wait for a better explanation, here’s a video showing whats is going on:
Plugins used:
New Maximumize
It expands the window on a specified direction as much as possible. It is totally based on Maximumize plugin.
Minimumize
Resize to half size of the window in a particular direction.
Smart Put
Cleverly find the best gap suitable for the current window.
New Put
It’s equal to Put plugin, but you can move only through empty spaces.
Toggle Decoration
Simple and very useful plugin to enable/disable window decoration(on a window, or all of them on the same desktop). You will discover how much space you waste with your window decorator. Toggle Decoration is totally necessary for us because we don’t use maximize and minimize anymore.
Swap
Swap window’s location and size. Simple like that.
Useful when you have a main frame and others smaller windows on same desktop. You can quickly change the scope.
Code still not available. We will release ASAP.
Next steps
We noticed that all we need is love.
Just Kidding.
All we need is an automatic layout windows definition. So you can easily define YOUR own window arrangement. We will work on it on next weeks (maybe months).
P.S.: No mice were harmed during the making of this video.
