It *is* slow

Yes, my computer definately feels slow... time for a spot of rkhunter I suspect. Audacity (I couldn't get the latest version to compile) took a mammoth amount of time to output the 1 hr 40 minute podcast to mono WAV. Gimp took about 20 seconds to output a 1024x768 simple image to PNG.

You know the girl from Novell's Mac ad spoofs? I've been saying for days that someone should make a wallpaper of her. Well, in true open-source software fashion, I did it myself! (admittedly, it's terribly unartistic, but a beautiful screen capture of her).

I also support the concept of nicknaming her "Beryl". :-)

My comment to the blog I linked to was rejected. I'm not terribly surprised - it began with the sentence "If she's Linux, does that mean anyone is allowed to use her any way they wish?"!
