FoxNews, the major conservative news broadcaster in the United States just responded the one blogger’s request to be able using their video services in a Linux OS.
This response came after a major outrage of Linux users on www.digg.com, referring on one of the same blogger’s article.
He received an e-mail, according to which the webteam of foxnews.com is working on a fix together with their video vendor at this very minute. The foxnews guy further admitted that most of their developers are using Ubuntu.
Now this feeds the question on how could they not notice that the site wouldn’t work with Linux unless you changed your browser’s agent?
People using Google’s Picasa on their Ubuntu Linux OS might get a little bit confused about the grey systray icon, which just doesn’t seem to belong there.
Guess what, it really doesn’t.
Google utilises wine to get their so-called Linux port to run. This reminded me of my attemp to humanise wine applications a while back. So trying to apply this to Picasa just seemed naturally.

Now just put the colour codes into the [Control Panel\\Colors]-section of that file.

To make a long story short, I didn’t have the time nor the mood to blog.
Hell, I didn’t even have the slightest idea what I should have blogged about.
As you might have noticed I just updated the looks of my blog, with some fancy [/not], selfmade graphics.
All done in The Gimp, in an hour of complete boredom. While not writing any articles I learned to use this nice little app quite well, at least I think I do.
I’m nowhere near a professional but as I don’t earn a living of painting or webdesign it’s pretty much sufficent.
