Eye Candy coming soon
I've recently become the administrator of the Ubuntu Podcast's blog, at www.ubuntuos.com, until Josh is ready to take back the reins. Don't worry, it doesn't mean I'll stop posting here! (I know a lot of my Friendster friends check out this blog a fair bit, because reminders keep popping up on their home pages, lol!)
I've posted a message already, about my favourite command-line shell. (Fish). Check it out; it might actually encourage you to use the command-line more. I have a launcher to it on my top Gnome panel. Unfortunately it can't completely replace Bash. It's not compatible with Bash scripts and it sometimes chokes on wildcards (you know, when you do "copy *.jpg /home/chris/ or something like that). But it's very very useful.
On the podcast, Mike said he would appreciate some info about getting eye-candy on his Ubuntu, so watch out for some links and HOWTOs I'll be posting on the ubuntuos.com website.
In other news, Songbird 0.2 Beta is out for Windows, Linux and OS X. I haven't downloaded it yet, but I expect good things. Songbird 0.1 for Windows is quite good, plays all my music almost flawlessly, even runs in WINE. Oh, yes I should definately download the new version, because its dark colour scheme will fit into my desktop, and I'm looking for a definitive iTunes replacement.
And even if you don't like the music player, just keep checking out the website or the RSS feed. Somebody at the project is a great artist, and most of its blog posts contain an original drawing of the Songbird. No, I don't know why there's a puff of air coming out of its rear end :-)
