March 2011 Desktop Background Calendar
This is Sandy, a jackass penguin. They are originally from South Africa, but her parents are at the Baltimore Zoo. Click on the desktop you want and then right-click and select “set as desktop background”. If you don’t have that option, save-as to your computer and then set it manually.

The State of Desktop Search on Linux
Desktop search is one of those techs that keeps coming back and never really sticking. At least that’s how it seems to me. Look at how giddy I was about Beagle back in 2006. And I tried it and it was, generally, pretty awesome. It really worked well. It was like the speed of locate…

PPAs Turning Ubuntu into Arch?
A few years ago I started hearing about ppas everywhere. More and more, I see developers telling people that if they want the latest of program X, they should load the developer’s ppa. A ppa is a repository of software that is neither maintained by Canonical nor the Ubuntu community. In some cases the software…

Review: Arch Linux
I’ve been wanting to try Arch Linux for quite some time now. They seem to have a similar aesthetic to Gentoo in that the main mission of Arch is to build your operating system from the ground up. You only add the things you need. So you don’t have any cruft on your system based…

Recent Search Terms
Looking over my search statistics I saw the searches that had recently led to my blog. Here are the most recent ones with comments on the strange ones: mythtv totem makehuman review mario 64 3D model – I don’t think I’ve even mentioned this before. I’ve written about Mario and 3D models, but not 3D…

KDE 4 Marches on….
KDE.news has reported on part of the progress of KDE 4 specific to SVG graphcs. (I know that’s redundant) It’s redundant because SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. Ever since about 2 years ago, Gnome and other projects began to move to SVG rather than PNG, JPG or other types of graphics. “What’s the advantage?”…

flickr adds search by camera
Looks like flickr’s been listening to me. I kept asking them for ability to search by camera. Others kept rebuffing me, but I guess others shared my passion as well, because they now have Camera Finder. As you can see on the current graph of most popular camera, my camera, the Canon Digital Rebel XT,…

Google search trends
To see a graph of search trends of any search term on Google, just mozey on over to www.google.com/trends and separate any search terms by commas. It’s quite a bit of fun!

Search Engines
Search engines have been in the news a lot recently. For example, this BBC News story talks about how Google is refusing to hand over their search results to the Justice Department. This could come back to bite them in the butt when they try to buy some company and the DoJ denies their application.…

March, the month of Numa Numa
This one’s been around for a while, but I just found it by accident. Here, for your insatiable lust for all that is Numa Numa, is an ENTIRE CLASSROOM of kids singing [pretty much] in sync with the original Numa Numa video. This is totatlly unreal.
