I messed around with Conky today and settled on this desktop set up. I took a popular pre-made conkyrc script, whittled it down a bit, and added a barcode font for the day and time. The wallpaper is from Deviantart.com. This is on the T41 I recently fixed up.

Ubuntu - Almelo part 2 ; Finkers, Wilders and Bunkers
By now some of you must have noticed I'm Dutch, ( and an SA expat, but that's something for another day ) but before the whole Internet grinds to a squeetching halt in certain parts of the World because of the 'Fitna' movie I'm catching the early wave.
In my previous post regarding radiating matters I briefly touched on the connection between Almelo where ( according to Mr. Herman Finkers, a local stand-up comedian ) the traffic light is the #1 attraction of the town, a Pakistani scientist and a Wild man called Wild-ers.
Now, for this post today I've added another acronym; 'Bunkers'. This points to my birthday present; a Gamma Scout. Yes, on the 13th next month I'm gathering funds for this nifty little device for sale at conrad for the paltry sum of 299 euros ( 499$ )
I've indended to own such a device for years now, and the time has arrived for me to purchase such an item and store it next to the potassium iodine. I advice all those residing in Western Europe and the US Eastern Seaboard to follow suit. It's the price of 'freedom'.
If anyone wants to use my Gamma Scout when they need it they can; now that's Ubuntu
I shot this when we changed drivers on the road to Running Creek. It was about 36 Degree's (Celsius)..

It is March 1st, and my Windows 7 Release Candidate (the test version) expired today.
I have used MS Windows since Windows '95, but I never directly purchased a copy for installation on a system. I had the fortune of getting them for FREE from trashed systems given to me. By the time the operating system reached my hands, it was the most stable version of Windows. Meanwhile, others were pulled their hairs with the latest version of it.
When I realized that Windows 7 available for testing, I immediately jumped for the opportunity and downloaded it (again for free) for my desktop. I tried Ubuntu simultaneously, but I never successfully found and installed the driver for my wireless ethernet adapter, so I gave up on the 8.10.
Now that Microsoft metaphorically pulled the rug from right underneath my faithful ginuea pig computer, without any form of a formal "Thank you Mr. Ginuea Pig" or a discount for helping test latest OS, I am left with a sour taste in my mouth. Like many of you (who chose the lesser evil: Apple), I refuse to purchase Windows 7 or any future Microsoft OS.
Now, I am revisiting Ubuntu with it's latest edition: 9.10.
"IMPRESSED" is an understatement on my feelings about this new system. Finding and installing the driver for my wireless adapter was very simple (and didn't involve the terminal this time of course). What gets me very excited about 9.10 is the availability of FREE applications and the integration with Google apps like Reader, Calendar, and Talk. Also, all of those apps are available as extensions for Google's Browser: Chrome, which was easy to install, too. Since the bookmarks are always sync'd in the cloud, I never missed a favorite link...that's comforting!
This screenshot was uploaded with Flickr for Ubuntu. Thanks to the "Software Center", I didn't even have to visit the Flickr website to download an installation package and delete the executable (to free up space). The "Software Center" handled the entire process beautifully.
Another thing: I installed Ubuntu on a separate drive and it retrieved all pertinent settings like documents, media, and even desktop background from the Windows 7 folder. All of the important things looked and felt familiar, which is comforting.
Until Google's Operating System: Chromium is released, Ubuntu 9.10 is as close as it gets to having a powerful Google desktop. I only wish I discovered 9.10 a little sooner.
