I’ve heard about flickr some months ago, had a look at it, but I never took a second to sign up. Now it’s actually done!
I decided to open an account there to post some pictures, and see what happens. I don’t think I’ll leave my pictures page away in favor of flickr, just because I don’t want to upload all my old pics. I’ll just upload some pictures on a regular basis.
As you may see, I’ve integrated a small plugin that displays my 4 last pics. Just take a look at the right content bar.
Anti-Flag just released their last album “For Blood And Empire“.
It is a well varied collection of songs: punk, tinted with some ska and even some country music sounding and the content is more anti-Bush, anti-genocide, anti-everything than ever before!
The booklet features aside of the classical lyrics, a lots of essays, a letter from a survivor of Rwanda’s genocide, … and the central page lists a dozen reasons for which Bush should be immediately impeached!
I was getting sick of Ubuntu running on my laptop. Don’t get me wrong: Ubuntu is a terrible distribution, very easy to install and to use, and integrating everything you need without big troubles. It’s a great replacement of choice for Window$.
So, why am I getting sick of it? It’s just that it is too complete. It installs by default a lot of stuff I don’t need, and never will. I am was using it on my laptop: a Acer TravelMate 800, Centrino 1.3GHz, 512Mb RAM, 40Gb HD, … I used to run Gentoo on it in the past, until the on-board ATI video card has loosely abandonned me.
When I got it back from repair, I put Ubuntu on it: everything worked out of the box. But it was so slooooow. Maybe I’m used to the speed of my new AMD64 Desktop, but I still remember the laptop was running faster and smoother under Gentoo.
So I decided to give Debian a (short) try… The installation is easy, menu driven, and short. But then begins the struggle to have all the packages I need (Xorg, Firefox 1.5, ipw2100, …). I was surprised to find only Firefox version 1.0.4 in the stable branch. I thought there was some security hole in it…
Nevermind… I leave debian on a small partition of my drive, maybe for further use, but I’m currently downloading Gentoo 2006.0 to give my laptop a second breath!!!
See you soon for feedback about the last release…
