WoW, GNU/Linux!

This is so freaking cool!

While I was browsing the Dutch Ubuntu forums, just to check out or I could help a n00b, I discovered, that the Beryl manager fully supports a transparent desktop. The screenshot I spotted, had the Ubuntu Studio wallpaper, which looks really cool on a transparent desktop. I was very impressed by this and started searching for the wallpaper and finally found it. So I played a little around with the Beryl Configuration center and below are the results.

Pretty catchy huh?

As usual the screenshots are thumbnails, so click on them for full screen. Remember this all is done on a 1,7 Ghz CPU, 380 MiB RAM and a old school nVIDEA Geoforce 2 MX400 (64 MiB VRAM) GPU, try that with Vista, Doh!

My new desktop. If you look a little closer you'll see multiple applications on multiple desktops.

The Beryl settings manager, mind the numbers I entered.

Still wondering "When "Linux" is ready for the desktop"?

Video

It's not very geeky, but my favorite artist has a video, which I wanted to share with you.

Check it out!

I want to know you, I want to hear your voice, show me your Glory, Lord I want to see how awesome you are...

Licenses

I felt, I had to make clear, that all of my documentation, including my weblogs are licensed under the GNU Documentation License. My software under the GNU General Public License version 3 and my music is currently licensed under the Creative Commons, share alike attrition , but I'm looking for a more GNUish license. I prefer the Free Art License. Today I will post a question in the Soundclick forum, asking why they are forcing me to publish my work in the patented MP3 file format under a CC license. I prefer Ogg-Vorbis.

More Personal Information.

I've added some more details to my Personal Information Page on my new homepage, including my Public PGP key and my geek code:
