Touch Screen plus Compiz!

This is just a nifty video of someone using a touch screen with the 3d effects of compiz fusion or maybe older beryl:

Newspond

Just found another cool website, and its not in beta so you all can go check it out. Its called Newspond, and is I guess kind of like digg and reddit as it is a social news portal.

The main difference with newspond is you don't vote storie sup, it constantly tracks what seems liek a million things to rate how popular a news story of blog post is on the web. The best part is its comment system, its nothing liek I have ever seen before. Its a bit hard to explain so just go check out Newspond your self.

I wish I coudl get that comment system on my blog....

Open Office goes For Eye Candy!

Awn Updates

I used to keep you guys pretty updated on awn but haven't done so in awhile. If you noticed I have started to come back alive on my blog, because now I am done with all my college things.

So over at awn there are being big strides to get the website going now. There is a easier link to get to the awn forum now to: http://forum.awn-project.org/

I say there are being pushes to get the website out and going but don't make that seem like they are not working on awn itself because it is being actively worked on. And they are many little and big things, going on that I will report more about in later posts.

Ok this was kind of broad But I will be postign lots more soon!

Wuala Invites

I have a few Wuala invites (you can read my post on wuala here). Here is the deal, I will give the first one away for free, to the first person that replies in the comments.

The rest of my invites I will be giving to people who make donations of $5+ to the blog. I am not trying to make, money just want to improve things for the blog, and maybe eventually save up for our own domain!

If you plan on using Wuala on linux make sure you read my post first.

Dell idea storm and Linux

Dell Idea storm was a digg like website built for dell users to make requests toward the company. There website gained lots of attention when users started a topic about making Ubuntu powered dells, and it was because of that post that dell started selling Ubuntu linux computers.

Anyway linux users are at it again on the dell idea storm website. Now they are calling for tell to sell Ubuntu linux computers at stores! So if you would liek to support this idea go vote it up here.
