Episode 129: Octave Sharpening Python Plugin

,----[ Quote ]
| This is the second time I try to get into 
| Python scripting for GIMP. My script in the 
| first show about scripting was simple, just 
| saving some clicks. Now it is more 
| complicated, variables, loops and floating 
| points included. But no parrots!

Songbird - The finest music player ever 

,----[ Quote ]
| Songbird is the new Polio cure, the Elvis 
| of digital media, King Henry V, you name 
| it. It's truly spectacular. And it achieves 
| all this by being simple, unobtrusive. The 
| interface is smooth and polished and 
| intuitive. I did not even suffer a moment 
| of confusion or hesitation while I played 
| with Songbird.
| 
| On top of that, you get lots of online 
| services, decent and relatively cheap, tons 
| of useful media info via mashTape, many 
| worthy extensions, and a powerful, easy-to-
| use search. Everything is there, at the tip 
| of your fingers. The colors are toned down, 
| there are no useless visual tricks to steal 
| your eye's focus or distract you from pure 
| pleasure.
| 
| You get everything you need and then some. 
| Furthermore, it's fast, responsive and 
| stable and works great. Songbird is simply 
| superb!
| 
| This should be and must be your music 
| player. I give it a perfect ten! Enjoy!
| 
| Thanks to all who suggested it!

| Only two weeks after our previous beta 
| release, all the folks from the Getting 
| Things GNOME! project are very proud to 
| announce you that the new 0.2 version is 
| now out! So, get it while it's hot! You can 
| either download it on our Launchpad project 
| page or, if you prefer, grab a package and 
| install it from our PPA. And if you want to 
| know what's new in this release (and this 
| is not only a few things!), just continue 
| to read!

Comparing torrent clients

,----[ Quote ]
| Purely in the name of science, I dumped 
| every torrent I could find on the front 
| page of LinuxTracker into the 600m, and let 
| it spin up. Thatâs 86 torrents, probably 
| more than 60Gb of disk space, and generally 
| speaking a considerable workload.

Linux applications: Part 1 - Productivity 

,----[ Quote ]
| As I mentioned in a recent post, I have 
| recently switched to a Linux distribution 
| as my operating system of choice. Many 
| other users may be put off from making a 
| similar switch because they are concerned 
| that they may not be able to use the 
| applications that they know from the 
| Windows environment. While some 
| applications are not available on Linux, 
| there are a number of alternatives that 
| offer all the most important features and 
| have the benefit of not costing a penny.

On Ailurus and w3m

,----[ Quote ]
| The default Ubuntu experience might be good 
| but this makes it more accessible ; ) 
| Adding and removing applications could be 
| quite confusing for new Linux users, no 
| matter what distro it is. Ubuntu Geek has a 
| good blog entry with screenshots that show 
| us how easy it is to install applications 
| with Ailurus. I hope to read more stories 
| about how universities have used Ailurus to 
| their advantage. Especially on the caching 
| aspect and the downloading from the fastest 
| mirror bit.
