Potsdam: Gefährliches Pflaster
Potsdam scheint sich ja inzwischen zur "No-Go-Area" gemausert zu haben. Mehr bei Indymedia.

Banshee on the rise
After I
installed Foresight-Linux on my old Laptop today, to take a look at the new GNOME 2.22, I could also get a glimpse on the new version of Banshee. The New Last.fm-Radio integration looked just great, though it seems not yet to be rock solid, in the 0.13.x release. After happily playing a bit with this feature, I already had discovered some nice new tracks.
Comming back to my normal computer and checking my newreader, I found out that other people are happy with that feature too and that there is already a new alpha release of Banshee. The release (1.0 Alpha 1) just came out today and is bringing even more great features. From the initial article I finally landed on the »official blog entry« and the release notes.
That all looks so great, that I think Banshee will be my default music-player, as soon the stable version of 1.0 is out. They finally implemented the new Artist/Album browser, I always missed too. I also learned today that the search-field in Banshee is much more powerful than I would have guessed.
So, better to stay tuned on the music player issue, Rhythmbox is finally getting some serious competitors...

GNOME 2.22 release
Die neue Version GNOME 2.22 wurde heute offiziell freigegeben. Eine Übersicht der Neuerungen findet man auf dieser Seite. Ich glaube ich sollte mal wieder mein Ubuntu upgraden...
Schneller als vermutet
Kaum gab es die ersten großen Diskussionen
und Ankündigungen zum Internet Explorer 8, schon gibt es eine erste Beta-Version.
Ich dachte die fangen erst gerade an mit Entwickeln. Im Vergleich zu den Vorgängern ging das ja echt mal flott. IE7 hat sich ja noch nicht mal komplett verbreitet und schon kommt der Nachfolger...

Spicebird the New(s)-Software
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!
