OpenSUSE 11.1 alpha 1 with KDE 4.1

Recently with the rise of KDE 4 and especially KDE 4.1 I’ve kinda wanted to try it just to see whats really going on. Now, personally I cannot stand KDE or qt, I’m a Gnome and GTK kinda guy. So where did I start? I went to Google to find OpenSUSE’s newest [...]

Using Hardy Heron now

First of all sorry for being gone so long if anyone has been following my blog, been kinda lazy to say the least…
I’m now using Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04.1) on both my desktop and my laptop. On a previous post I wrote about how Hardy Heron let me down, now I’m writing about how [...]

Intrepid Ibex concepts that I like

I was browsing the Ubuntu wiki and out of curiosity I decided to look into the artwork section for the upcoming release of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. What I found I liked, not much has been submitted, but it is early.  These concepts look like a lot of work went into them, I give the [...]

What do robot programmers do when they’re bored?

I’m sure all robot programmers do this when they’re bored, I just love this video. The music is pretty cool also, anyone know the name of it?

Windows Xp, or should I say Xfce?

At school I use a computer for my fourth block class, they obviously don’t care about it, or I would of been told I did something wrong. But I pretty much use that computer for whatever I want. One day I got bored, and thought about making xfce4 look like Windows Xp. [...]

The Round Cube Processor

This is a very creative story I wrote for my Journalism class, I thought I would share it with whoever reads.
It all ended one day in the parallel universe, when Dr. Forgetful came into The Closet through a ssh. He said he had discovered something that can do wonderful things, but at the same [...]

KDE-mod fbpanel profile

I’ve done, something like Mac, Ubuntu/Gnome, now its time for KDE. This was one of the easier profiles for me to make, The menu’s have the same amount of entries as the Ubuntu-top profile has, just rearranged. For this you will have to download the KDE-logo (download) for it to work. Put [...]

Ubuntu fbpanel profile

This profile is based off Ubuntu, It’s very hard to tell at first, but this is Openbox people, I assure you, check my pstree -n. I spent nearly a whole night of my free time coming up with the profiles to make fbpanel look like this, of course I changed the wallpaper to Guty’s [...]

Gnome to Openbox and why?

Very recently I’ve made a drastic change from using Gnome as my main DE (desktop environment) to using Openbox, which is just a WM (windows manager). But why? I really do love Gnome, I’ve been experimenting with Openbox and found out how much I like it more than Gnome. Gnome is my [...]

Hardy Heron, disappointment for me.

We’ve all been waiting for it for a long time, Ok, only 6 months but for me it was a eternity. When it finally came out I was beyond happy until I fresh installed it. What? Hardy doesn’t have a bottom panel?? Oh, I have to auto align with my monitor just to [...]

Bzflag

Bzflag is a tank shooting game, I didn’t expect it to be as addictive when my friend told me about it. Basically you’re a tank and the object is to kill your opponent, but there is a twist, there are flags on the ground, when you pick them up you either gain something to [...]

Linutop

What is Linutop? A very very very [ok you get the picture?] small computer, even smaller than those Mac Mini’s, or Aopen’s miniPC. Yes there is something smaller than those amazing computers. I was surfing on youtube and I don’t even know how I spotted this tiny thing.  This little PC does not [...]

Youtubes

While looking through Ubuntu Forums, I found this post about commercials. I really like the IBM commercials, those are more professional. but this video is the top of the cake.

To additional to this Youtube video, I’m going to be adding more Youtube videos to my blog. To find more on my blog, please [...]

Liquid War

Liquid War is one of my favorite Linux games, it’s also for DOS, FreeBSD, Windows, and Mac OS X. What I like so much about Liquid War is what makes it so unique from other games. You control a army of liquid dots, and you try to eat your components, as stupid as [...]
