| I love niche programs, especially in the 
| area of multimedia. If you're like me, you 
| probably have a folder full of MP3s and 
| Oggs collected from the last ten years 
| that's reached the point where you've 
| forgotten half the files in there. This 
| month, I stumbled upon the charming little 
| command-line program, audiopreview.

The Linux iLife? Lombard & Fillmore certainly feel like itâ

,----[ Quote ]
| Fillmore provides basic multi-track 
| recording/editing functionality via the 
| use of the GStreamer and Gnonlin media 
| libraries.
| 
| For a lightweight and purpose-driven 
| application the first release is 
| acceptable. It doesnât have the fine-tuned 
| controls of fellow audio-editor âJokosherâ 
| but no-one was expecting it so. So far the 
| features consist of the following: -
| 
|     * Record audio from a microphone or 
|     other audio input device (records in 
|     single mono channel)
|     * Arrange and edit audio clips on a 
|     timeline
|     * Create as many new tracks as you 
|     need
|     * Copy, paste, split, trim clips
|     * Adjust panning and volume
|     * User-specified time signature and 
|     tempo
|     * Configurable metronome; set tempo, 
|     volume and playback during recording
|     * Ability to hide library pane

| 2.7.1 comes with lots of improvements, new 
| functions and many bugfixes. Among these, 
| we can mention support for layer groups, 
| support for multi-column dock windows, 
| improved single-window mode, Photoshop CS4 
| keyboard shortcuts, RGB565 support, GEGL 
| updates, and many more. Without further 
| ado, we've listed below some of the 
| changes in GIMP 2.7.1. Don't forget to 
| check out the installation part, for the 
| Ubuntu 10.04 PPA.

Easy Linux backups with Lucky Backup 

,----[ Quote ]
| We would all like to think that, since we 
| are using Linux, we will never really need 
| a backup of our data. Now, let's look at 
| this realistically. Even if your OS is 
| 100% rock solid, with nary a nanosecond of 
| downtime, that hardware running that OS 
| can not possibly give 100% forever. Add to 
| that the irresistible urge to upgrade 
| hardware and you have the serious makings 
| for the need to back up.
