Thanks for the post. One of Linux’s strong point is its fantastic cron. U can use cron to do a lot of things in this case u’re looking for and downloading new podcasts.

I think stowaway cat takes the cake! I could work on tech issues all day with companionship like that. Mine does the same, likes to type out gibberish as she walks on the keyboard… perhaps IM buddies I don’t know about.

Have a look at SongBird – it’s cross-platform and based on the Mozilla engine.

Watch their little video, as it’s actually a really good introduction as to what it can do.

Ok. So she stayed home away from the DCs

“Rumor has it that Emmy has left the house last Friday to the plex and started tinkering at the data centers.”

Nope nope. For one thing, she’s a stay-at-home cat, Harith. Emmy also has the ability to shut off a computer merely by walking across a keyboard, so we have to keep her far away from Google data centers.

Added: Harith, you can see where Emmy might want to hide in a backpack to get to a data center though. I have to be careful that I don’t pick up a stowaway hiding in my backpack.

Awesome tutorial. I’ve left my ubuntu box growing dust until just the other week when I upgraded to 7.10 from my old Dapper version. I hope to get my audio working in screencast mode so I can contribute a few tutorials focused at the entry level user/webmaster…eg adding gFTP, skype, some basic GIMP tutorials. Thanks again for this tutorial, it was very clear. I’ll give it a whirl tomorrow. :thumbsup

Forget The Daily Search Cast… you need SEO 101.

Your instructions make it seem quick and painless. Nice. Just need some way to automatically delete those you’ve listened to like iTunes does and I’ll consider switching.

Matt,

Rumor has it that Emmy has left the house last Friday to the plex and started tinkering at the data centers. When do you expect her back home?

Bruce, I leave open the possibility that I may want to switch to a Mac at some point. The romantic in me hopes that Linux can still do well on the desktop though.

Matt have you ever thought of doing a post on why your not a Mac person? I would be interesting in reading that review. I have thought about switching to a Mac at times, but still have not done it. No real reason other than I am used to pc’s
