Eye Candy | 10th Mar 2008

The following video is of my computer, running Ubuntu 7.10, with some of the new features and applications I’ve been playing around with, including compiz-fusion, avant, and amarok. Best part? This is all free software! Enjoy!

A more detailed video, more features.

A Little Explanation | 28th Feb 2008

Well considering the amount of talking I’ve done about “free software” and “GNU/Linux” over the past few weeks, it’s about time I explain myself. During the past 6 months or so, I’ve learned a lot about a little thing called free software. I’d like to take a few minutes and explain what free [...]
