So you just did your ubuntu install and you setup your favourite media player be it amarok for you kubuntu people or xmms or bmpx (bad ass player) and your there twiddling your thumbs wondering whats wrong i know whats wrong.. theres no music to play jackass… this is wha tyou do

pull up a terminal:

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin

when thats done you download the forstwire deb package for ubuntu from frostire.com

back to the terminal:

sudo dpkg -i  Froswire-x-x-x-ix86.deb

then after that you wanna configure your java by doing this in the terminal:

sudo update-alternatives –config java

select the 3rd option and in case they decide to move something around your looking for the number that corresponds with this :  /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java

aftere that you should be able to start frostwire and download at your hearts content.

My moms a teacher and from time to time she asks me to do some word processing for her aka there’s no computer at home but my laptop (i need to fix this). So she asks me this morning plz type a document for me and i thought immediatly open officce.. grrr the doc type for word is gonna be like office xp they’ll be running office 2003 and then formatting issues will arise so i simply openned up writely and proceeded to do her documeent when i was finished i was able to save as 3 filetypes .doc, odt (openofficce), or pdf. i chose to go with all 3 plus there’s a copy in my writely account sos there are 4 copies in the event that something happens to any 1 there are backups. writely rules. office should be worried google is where the world is heading to.

not really spock said nothing like that, it sounds more like something that captain kurt (william shatnerwould say) was it kirk or kurt.. w/e… anyway on with this post.. its about a new browser that i came accross this morning.. its called flock - the social browser.

Realy interesting peice of software, it uses the same extensions as firefox and has a few more features to offer like direct gallery integration with blogs / websites where you can just drag and drop images instead of going ot the site to upload. kinda interesting would you say.. i doubt they have a linux version in repositories as yet if i dont feel like installing from source i wont cause generally i could’t install extensions with firefox from src installs, so no flocking for me.. but the fox does me good so i dont mind…

I’ve been testing out a few ppc applications and so far skype is the most impressive. A perfect port of the software from desktop computing to portable (ppc).
Tested it with my friend liquid bunny made biut a 17 minute call, I had no major complaints, voice data came through in a timely manner without any interference or additional noise. The only bug was that it was kinda load and seemed to operate on a speaker phone basis. After more testing I’ll see if it is possible to take it off speaker phone.

P.S: special thanks to liquid bunny for sparing me 17 minutes to chat on skype for testing purposes.

skype address is tizzle1080 holla if you want.

Finally its out of beta stages and into the real world. I downloaded and installed and i’m liking the lil spruced up features, beaing able to move you tabs just click and drag it where you want it among the other tabs, i love that i’ve been looking for an extention like that for quite some time now. most of the themes that i had dont work but i’m sure in due tiem that’ll come. I”m wondering if i shouldn’t get the firefox dev kit and make myown themes etc… i mean its not like i’m not capable make em and put em up for dl on the AnimeSynergy or the AnimeSynergy freewallpapers and downloads. something to think about i guess. but to get to the ending note. firefox really rools. i.e wil forever drool. opera try’s to be the man but nobody does it like firefox can. pretty cheesy i know but lol i think its cool :p
