This Proves the best OS.

I'd just like to point out that in PC World's 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time list, 12 of them were directly related (required) a microsoft product. 3 of them were Windows applications as developed by Microsoft themselves. Only about five of the total 25 had not required Microsoft/Windows - only software by the manufacturer. Only 3 products were made by apple. None of the GNU/Linux applications had made it.

Happin's

Well, I just changed my theme (FINALLY!!!)




The new theme. It's Icy Amiga Jini, Because it uses the ThinIce app, Amiga window, and Jini icon Themes

It's awesome, and it uses less system resources then the default "Human" Theme. Plus it's Amiga-like! IN YOUR FACE i986 PROCESSOR!!!

AND IT'S BLUE!

Now for a firefox picture:




And I just found out that my picture finally displayed here! Hurrah!

I just realized that although I had changed the image in my profile, it won't display! Darn it all!

AWESOMENESS!!!

The title to this post is a link to the last page that you will ever visit. It is a link to the download page to the infamous film, "Elephant's Dream."
This movie has been in development for a remarkably short amount of time; certainly not the four years required by pixar's films.

"Elephant's Dream," Previously known as the Orange Open Movie Project, is an attempt by the open source community (AKA "the guys who get all of the good stuff for free") to show the world that a high quality movie is possible (and easy) to make with off-the-shelf FREE software tools that are availible for most every system.

The most positively awesome thing about the project is that everything that they have used to make it, including the textures, models, animations, scenes, and sounds, are completely available to anyone who wants them. The benefit to you is that if you don't like the pre-rendered complete version, you can take the files and change a simple setting (one click!) and then click "render" (also one click!), and immediately your custom-framed movie is being rendered, right before your eyes!

And because of it's license, you can give it out to whoever you want.
But you should take that with a grain of salt. I havn't seen the specific license, and it may be a no-dirivs version. Check it out, I'm too hyped to do it.


Oh, and as a side note, the after-screening party was held at a bar called blender.

The truth about me posting.

... I just do it when my friends update Forthcoming Power 2.

Anyways, I've just found out something amazing. How would you like your computer to work faster? Use eyeOS. (It's a link. Click it. It leads to the info page.) If you read - or are reading - that it's a web-based desktop, then you'd probibly just laugh. But if you use it (This link leads to the eyeOS public server which you can easily and quickly register for free), you can see how it can benefit you. The eyeOS public server has very few applications installed other then the defaults, but that's ok because even what is there isn't that well written.

One of the greatest eyeApps in eyeOS is eyeEdit (2). With eyeEdit, you can easily make rich-formatted documents. After you finish making it, you can keep it privately to yourself, or you can can make it public and let others view and edit it. On the public server, they put on a userlist so that you can find a name for eyeMessage and make a friend (I'm currently asking for an explaination of moonneko's name) and a wishlist for new eyeOS features.
Possibly the best feature of eyeEdit is the fact that uses HTML code for it's editing. This means that you can use it to make a webpage from scratch.

eyeOS also features a nice and simple set of PIM aplications. eyePhone is not, unlike the name suggests, a web phone. You can probibly use eyeNav (eyeOS's simple HTTP Web Browser that just happens to work with meebo) to go to dialpad.com if you want to do that. It's really a contact manager. Sorry, Skype fans. There's also a simple calender to help you plan your upcoming Hot Dates.

Of course, the wonderful kill-all feature of eyeOS is the automated eyeApp and eyeLook (theme) installer. All you have to do is download your favorate (or essential) package in gzipped tape archives (.tar.gz) from eyeapps.org or eyeLooks from eyelook.org, go to the Application Manager (eyeApps), select your file, and install. Perhaps with the URL you don't even need to download.


At the beginning of this segment, I said a little something about making your computer run faster. Well, I did a little bit of testing, and although the response rates weren't as good as using the computer's software, but loading speeds of the programs were several times faster then most applications. Compare the less-then-one-minute loading speed of eyeEdit to Microsoft Word.

Tomorrow, I will see if eyeOS's public server works on school computers. wish me luck.

Oh, and note that there is now three little Brilliant buttons on the sidebar. They link to Galbadia Hotel, The unmatched place to get Video Game and Anime soundtracks as well as VG commercials and streaming Anime. I'm not normally so interested in Anime, but the music drew me in.

There is, however, one thing that I must ask you to do. When you go there, make sure that you use one of my buttons. When you use my buttons, you give me points that let me go into mass-download mode, which lets me download the whole soundtrack. I need 20 hits just for one day, though, and that kinda stinks.





Oh, and if you want to download the anime videos, you can check out The Video Downloader.

(Shadow Hearts ~ Near Death Experiance
Is pure musical genious in disguise.)

(Furi Kuri Addicts
Is just plain awesome. Download it.)

Absence

I appologise for not calling you all up, but I've been recovering from a surgery.

More to come up later.
