If you are running Linux and want the world to know it (or at least contribute to statistics), you can register yourself and your linux-machines on the Linux Counter website.
As a result you get your individual and nicely designed badge like this :

Appart from that, Linux-user statistics get more correct of course. So the rest of the world can see, actually somebody is using Linux.
So go ahead and register yourself...

To spice up your daily communication, Spicebird was designed with chat and News-Feed integration. It's the perfect tool as a lightweight Evolution replacement and more focused on the home user. Rather than to bring all the important business features it's made to integrate all your personal Topics in one piece of Software. It comes even with a neat start-screen to give you an overview of what's currently going on in all departments.
Anyway, I didn't want to write a long story here. Spicebird was hyped all over the web those days. So most things are probably explained. Only one thing that still iches me, is that I can't make use of the mail and the chat feature yet. Because usually all my connections (Jabber, IMAP, SMTP) work on SSL. But Spicebird seems to still have issues with SSL/TLS handling. Probably it works already with the "official" certificates. But not with CA-Cert ones, even if you import the Root-Cert yourself.
So, I hope I will have more luck with that, when the beta phase is over!

So far it looks not at all bad!

I didn't know, that filesharing via BitTorrent reaches back into the early 1970s, when obviously a torrent-file was uploaded already. So, I guess I just discovered one of the oldest torrents on earth, I guess!

Oops, what happened there?

The RIAA-Website obviously got hacked.

The second part of the Documentation "Steal This Film" came out recently. The film deals with copyright, piracy and the meaning of sharing information and knowledge. It's really worth watching and can be downloaded via BitTorrent. Because I didn't know about the first part, I also downloaded that one. But the second one is still far better and more abstracted from actual happenings than the first one, which was really connected to the Pirate Bay raid.

So enjoy:
Steal this Film 1
Steal this Film 2

...what LinuxMCE can do!
The Power of Linux MCE in a Demo Video.

Only the UI is not that bautiful yet.
But the Future is comming and the thing looks quite promissing actually.

That's how I would like the future to be. Especially after stuggling with Internet Explorer today again.
It was just was hiding some divs on random, even in IE7. The day the last Internet Explorer installation vanishes I will celebrate, that's for sure!
