So my interview today got pushed back so I played around with some countdowns for Karmic.
Think I need more help from Richard Querin personally – I’m definitely closer to autistic then artistic! Then again I did only spend a few minutes on each of them.
If anyone with more talent then I have wants to, you can make a banner and submit them. Details about that are on this page.
On another note, I upgraded to Karmic a while back and it’s definitely still an alpha – I’m having a few issues. But they are being fixed pretty quickly and it is looking very good. I have some minor issues still outstanding, but the big ones I did have are gone. All in all, it’s shaping up to be another great release!
I mentioned Tiny Tiny RSS on the last two TiT Radios. On the first I had only just set it up, and on the second I mentioned how it didn’t seem to be updating correctly. I took my feeds from Google Reader and imported them into TTRSS and cleared them both down to compare how they worked. I noted that I had a lot more in Reader then TTRSS. Now I also said I was looking into why that was.
Well I have been playing around reading through this page, where they give a bunch of ways to update. Some seem better then others (as they warn) and I still have to try to sort out the ‘best’ way they recommend. But for now, it’s looking a lot more promising.
Well I am trying intrepid out. Having some problems – NVIDIA screwed up drivers apparently so that isn't great. Apart from that it looks cool. I'm even trying out KDE 4.1 and so far it's not too bad. It's a lot slower but I think that is down to the drivers – menus take too long to open for example.
If I like it that much it might even be an HPR episode, but I have others I need to do first!
