Another podcast, splendid! I shall download it forthwith, then put it on the headphones while I lie down in a darkened room with my eyes closed. Or is that what you do with Dark Side of the Moon?
Cheers for the "shout-out" in episode 9 by the way! :D

UNIX - Human age ration
theguywholikeslinux - June 10, 2009 @ 6:25pm
One human lifetime is equivalent to one UNIX year!!!!
Well probably not but who am I to say?
Excellent!

Once again :)
My own discovery this week is 'Vimperator', an add on for Firefox. I'm not sure I needed to consume the Internet any faster than I do already but it works really well on my laptot, avoiding the context switch to the mousepad.
I probably need help as I enjoy using vim >_<
I use exit, not Ctrl-D

I think I knew that I could use Ctrl-D but for some reason I never do...

We at vegastrike have most of our art assets as GPL the only exceptions being a few music tracks that are CC
Enjoy the Choice:)

Another great podcast. Your discussion about Unix's 40th birthday is surreal.
BleachBit

BleachBit sure is a nice discovery, but I sure wish it'd detect what apps I have installed so I don't see an abundance of useless options on the left. :)
OpenClipart :(

I understand your problem with OpenClipart, so I have decided to make a little gui frontend for OpenClipart. I'll post again when I have finished it!
1 human year = 2 unix

1 human year = 2 unix years
distros often get upgraded once every six months (like ubuntu) so they get a unix year older :)
OpenClipart

Actually, there is a very nice interface of generated HTML files for OpenClipart, it comes with the (rather large) download. Of course, this does not necessarily make the search for the files easier.
CTRL-D saved my life!

Well maybe not quite but can't believe I didn't know about it before. Now I just need to find something to occupy the time previously consumed by those pesky two additional key-strokes.
