Gedit plugin: New from template

I am not sure how many people finding Gedit good enough as an editor for programming purposes, but I am using it exactly that way and quite happy with its functionality. Especially I like its integration with gnome virtual file system, that allows it to work directly on remote hosts, and ability to use and create new plugins for it.
With the release of new version of gnome environment & new version of Gedit text editor I met some problems with the compatibility of old plugins. So, I have to redo some plugins I have used before. First of all I decided to implement plugin that allows creation of new documents from templates.
Plugin is quite simple, but I have not much python programming experience and I should notice that there seems not much documentation available about new Gedit, Gtk Python API.... So, if someone has more experience in Python or have some good ideas regarding the plugin functionality you are welcome to fork Git repo or post a comment here.

Royalty free music search engine right in your browser (firefox, IE)

Most of web developers, especially who are dealing with flash, usually need to find some sound or loop. Personally I am not a flash developer, so had only a few flash projects or better to say projects with flash parts :)  But I felt myself uncomfortable when I had to go to some royalty free music site and only than search for what I needed. How it would be great to have it integrated into my browser search box I thought, and after a small research I have found Cool Stock Music. I am not sure about other sites yet, have just found this one. May be somebody else is providing similar thing too, but that is not important right now. Once you got to the site with your firefox or IE (as far as I know search plugins are supported from IE7)  you can open search engine selection, like on the image below and add "Cool Stock Music" to the list of search engines.

Once new engine is added to the list you can search sounds and loops right from the search box. Personally I am finding this very handy, as I do not have to go to the site, search form (do not want to remind all my disappointments). But what I like even more, are suggestions that are shown exactly like for google search, and sometimes good suggestion can save lot of time :)

Hope that someone will find this article useful and it will save somebody little bit of time and little bit of nerve cells. Personally I like this "search plugin" approach and think that guys on the right way :)
