You’ve never heard of the Pandora? OK, let me fill you in: it’s an open source, hand held, console running Linux. Just a hairs breadth bigger than a Nintendo DS this beast is far more powerful than the DS and PSP.
Today (Sun, 5th Oct) is the closing date if you want to pre-order one from [...]

While browsing through my RSS feed of Linux.com I noticed a post about ‘Lancelot’ a new KDE menu/plasmoid. I kinda prefer the old style KDE menu but have been forcing myself to use the new menu to see if it really is crap, and it kinda is.
But Lancelot (below) is the best of both worlds!

There I was, sitting having my breakfast this morning (tea and some porridge before work) when suddenly my KDE4 crashed. I mean crashed, corrupt looking screen, and needed a reboot.
PC reboots and I’m given the evil flashing-prompt-of-death ™. No login screen.
After much tinkering and typing of commands I eventually gets a God awful, 640×480 login [...]
Having installed Kubuntu Hardy I dreaded the thought of having to recompile the libgpod library to get my iPod Classic (Black) working again. After installing Amarok I thought I’d try my iPod anyway.
Lo and behold, it worked!
Hoorah!
Well, it did. Until I actually flipped through the cover art and played some tracks did I notice that [...]

While browsing Ubuntu Forums today I stumbled across a post asking what cool stuff a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone can do with Linux and discovered KBlueLock.
Of course, you need a Bluetooth dongle on your PC, I have a USB one.
In KDE I get a ‘K’ version of the Bluetooth logo in my task bar. If [...]
I’d been looking forward to the release of KDE4 for months then the developers announced that it’d be a late Christmas present and the release date was now early January. Bummer.
Today I decided to download the Kubuntu with KDE4 Live CD to give it a whirl on my laptop, a Compaq NX9005.
I downloaded the ISO [...]
Since the old blog was art only, it rarely got any posts. This new and improved blog is for the things I love the most: Linux, Art and Gadgets.
I’ve deleted most of the old posts as the majority were all art related. I’ve kept my most recent write up which was for the CECT 599 [...]
