Opening .chm file in Linux

I downloaded an ebook and was puzzled to see a .chm file. I was unable to open it on my ubuntu laptop.



A quick Google search revealed the following :

• Chm file is a Microsoft Compressed HTML Help file in a proprietary
  format for online help files.
• Under Linux/FreeBSD or UNIX you can open
  .chm file using following programs which make it
  possible to browse native Windows CHM files:
1. For Gnome Desktop User
   
   Use gnochm program as follows
   
   $ gnochm file.chm
2. For KDE Desktop User
   
   Use kchmviewer (very nice and highly recommended) program as follows
   
   $ kchmviewer file.chm

Use apt-get or yum command to install any of the above chm viewer:


# apt-get install gnochm


OR


# apt-get install kchmviewer



I installed gnochm and it worked smoothly.



I learnt the above from the FAQ section of a site  here)

Rebranded Performancing works very well

Lately, I was unable to get Performancing to work with my blogger account.



However, today I learnt that Performancing's new avatar "ScribeFire" is available and it works with Blogger as well. Infact, I am writing this post using the same. Hope it works......





Incase, you have not heard of or used Performancing, you may want to do so. Its a great firefox sxtension that allows you to blog straight from the browser without having to log-on to your blogs admin area.
