Shownotes

I guess it is that time again, I wasn't quite ready for it this time though. Don't get me wrong, I was ready in the sense that I had all my articles and stuff I was going to talk about. I just wasn't feeling like starting today, I was just sort of feeling blah as the title says. One observation I am seeing is that the show is coming along pretty good, seems to me that we are picking up more listeners every week, and we are at our highest subscribership to date. Which pleases me, but also worries me at the same time. Well, here is to more continued success in the future.

For a site that rates packages for Gnome and also a place you can download the packages in various formats try gnomefiles.org The KDE site that does essentially the same thing is KDE-apps.org Check out this site for various Gnome-centric eye candy, gnome-look.org And lastly, the Ubuntu Geek blog is a cornucopia of tips, tutorials, and advice from a very knowledgable ubuntu user. It is at Ubuntugeek.com. Have fun with the links and tell them I sent you!!
 
CLCoTW time cat
This is a perfect command to time how ling it take a browser to load a web page, or how long it might take to download a file. Better yet, you can time yourself taking a bathroom break then getting a sandwich and eventually back to your computer. Can you think of anything better to do with your time?
