#chickencam Genesis
| 15/08/2011 | Posted by cr0w under #chickencam |
I’ve been meaning to get started with Arduino http://www.arduino.cc/ . As you will have read, I went to the fabulous Oggcamp last weekend. While I was there, one of the speakers/exhibitors was from Project:Nanode . It was such a cool idea, with so much potential, that I bought one there and then without much of…
Unity and Gnome 3 Chirality
| 03/05/2011 | Posted by cr0w under Outlaw Pla.net |
I’ve just written to Linux Format. I think there’s a good reason why Unity and Gnome3 are uncomfortable for most people to use. What do you think?
Hi!
I’ve been using Unity and Gnome 3 with a touch screen for a little while now. I think I can put my finger on a massive flaw in…
Mint KDE – All mouth, no trousers :(
| 03/03/2011 | Posted by b1ackcr0w under Outlaw Pla.net |
I so wanted to like Mint KDE. Lately, I’ve been getting a little bored of my Gnome Desktop. And I’m a longtime admirer of Mint’s various output. So I lept into their KDE version with much anticipation. But it sadly turned into a bit of a let down.
I have to say that the first impressions…
The Ubuntu Banshee Thing
| 02/03/2011 | Posted by b1ackcr0w under Outlaw Pla.net |
Sometimes it takes a few days consideration before you can reach a considered opinion on an issue. So it has been with me on Canonical’s move to secure some of the funding coming from the online music sales resulting from Banshee distribution. In essence, what I want to say is that I think that although…

If anybody can help me get my touchscreen working in Mint9 again, I would be eternally grateful!

Unexpected Benefits

There are a myriad of reasons for using Free Open Source Software. They range from the technical to the political with a bunch of ethical, moral, strategic and functional reasons mixed in along the way.
But I think I’ve found a whole new type of reason for using FOSS/Linux. Medical.
As many might know, I have Bi-Polar…
The First Pawn Moves in the Novell Game
| 03/03/2010 | Posted by b1ackcr0w under Outlaw Pla.net |
This morning I saw a tweet from Jan Wildeboer of Fedora. He was one of the first people to spot that Novell are facing an unsolicited takeover bid by bigtime hedgefund breadheads, Elliott. A quick Google shows that Elliott specialises in buying into struggling companies and enforcing radical changes in order to bring the price…
The Gigantic Ubuntu Yahoo Non Issue.
| 26/01/2010 | Posted by b1ackcr0w under Outlaw Pla.net |
I could almost see why there was some uptightness about not putting Gimp in the default Ubuntu disk image. I’ll concede thateven though I’m bored of the issue, I’m still not fully sure that Mono based apps are a good idea. Despite trying to be open minded about it, I must have missed the point…

Feature Kudos:Cheese

Linux needs the fun. Linux needs applications that make the desktop magnetic. Linux needs features that appeal to everybody. Linux needs powerful office and server applications that allow multinational corporations conduct commerce. The relative importance of these requirements is entirely subjective.
I don’t often need to use my webcam, but when I do i want it…
