I'm quite fond of Fedora 16
Category: linux

FWIW, I think it is better than Fedora 15. It's better for music production than Ubuntu Studio. Everything works. But, of course, I'm not trying to use R like my wee (e:sisteryn).

It's been behaving much better after yesterday's update. They completely switched over to a newer kernel. I think that has addressed some issues with chrome instability.

I use both firefox and chrome. As to music production, the usual suspects - jack, qjackctl, ardour, hydrogen, rosegarden, seq24, qsynth, etc. Super-collider is available but I've not mucked about with it yet.

Rock on! :) What software do you use for music production? Do you use Chrome as your browser?

Success! Fedora 16
Category: linux

Quickest install ever. Everything works. Faster. Yay!! 64-bit Flash supported without wrapper.

Double Yay!

% wireless usb with good Fedora support

That's a very interesting suggestion. I will take a look around! Thank you!!

(e:tinypliny) - Ralink corp. RT2860. My box is actually a box not a laptop. I have no idea if that chipset is in laptop cards.

My "Linux workaround" idea is that you should find an wireless usb with good Fedora support and just forget about that card that came with the laptop.

I feel your pain. I've been there about 8 years ago. Since then I've been anal about testing wi-fi in LInux with live distros.

What wireless card are you using? Could you please post? Thanks!

Amanda Palmer and the Young Punx featuring Peaches. The name of the song is "Map of Tasmania". Workplace warning: If Peaches is involved someone might be offended.

Amanda Palmer also does ukelele covers of Lady Gaga. 'nuff said

Yes I was wondering who posted it before ? now I know thanks.....

(e:heidi) - that must be why it seemed somewhat familar to me. I was thinking where have I seen this before. Historically (and elsewhere) I've been known to post the same thing again in my own blog because I forgot that I already posted it.

I did :::link::: but it's well worth the repost. :-)

tinypliny - 11/18/11 23:01
Or maybe someone else. I can't be sure in this advanced state of alzheimer's.

tinypliny - 11/18/11 23:00
I think (e:heidi) posted this once upon a time?

So This might piss off fans of both this band and Weezer but they do sound like each other......

I heard this on soma covers internet radio today and I just had to share. Of course, Eastern Europe is somehow involved. The pianist is Vika Yermolyeva

Apparently, she does piano covers of songs that perhaps don't even have piano. 'nuff said. I think that John Cale would like this.

tinypliny - 05/26/11 22:23
That was really cool!! Loved the version. I think piano always brings out the macabre in everything...

BUT My favourite is always The Passenger!!!!!!!
