please speak up about your use of linux on your desktop

*hugs&hi* most software, web content, etc claims to react to 'user feedback'. although most of the time it doesn't feel like it. luckily as open source developers we usually do truly care about user feedback, and re-act to it. this survey is really quick and rather 'shallow' as an open source survey but it will help give everyone a broader perspective on how many people are using linux &what everyone is using it for. so please everyone using linux on the desktop, weigh in. lets see how well what projects are doing and thus give an overall view on who &how linux is being used over all.

opensuse 10.3... *boo-hoo* i don't wanna switch.

podcast update personal note: my podcast is still waiting on on opensuse 10.3 audacity's build to work correctly, if it doesn't after a factory update i'll have to prolly either compile audacity from source and if that doesn't do it i'll be forced to switch distros. which i may need to do anyways. opensuse 10.3's not going to include x.org 7.3, despite it being released on august 29th. and i'm using an intel graphics chipset and because of the issue 915resolution resolves i have nurmerous random issues(which i'll save everyone from my graphic woe details. except to say i love xgl which won't work with 915resolution's patch/hack in place. than i need my virtual consoles[Shift+Ctrl+F1-6] without my laptop crashing. i know i'm picky; but i'm switching to x.org 7.3 asap and i have to have a workable audacity. yeah i'm dedicated to flipping some people on their heads, *wink*. of course i'm hoping that opensuse's build service or factory will have x.org 7.3 as soon as possible. and than i'll try compiling x.org 7.3 *shivers*, if i abs have to. i'd hate to be need to switch distro. mostly because i love most of opensuse's community. their online &mailing list communities. if you're someone who likes to talk and not just approach dev. from a military style than *avoid opensuse irc chat rooms like the plague!* it may not be that they're anti-social there, but at least several active people have like literally no social skills. hackers with no social skills just creep me out &they're not even worth my time or energy. anyways here's to hoping. no matter what i'll find someway to get audacity running tomorrow; even if i *boo-hoo* have to switch to a different distro.

oh the atrocity: audacity has been eaten(for a lil while)

*i said 36 hrs... i didn't say which 36* seriously though i have to apologize on my podcasts' initial episode still being late. i'm running on opensuse 10.3 factory. and i can promise that opensuse 10.3 is gonna totally rock. but that said my latest factory update has kinda, well, eaten audacity. i'm working on getting my podcast put together as soon as i can &if i need to i'll try building audacity from source. but with a busy week with my doctor's appointment and other things, namely the flu, which i'm still trying to get over. but as soon as i feel well enough to focus on my screen &just focus in general, i'll have my podcast's subscription posted here.

open source iptv: new episode. open source web dev: new podcast! *wink*

*\/\/00+*! okay, so i'm kinda late, but they are so way later than i am. lol, anyways just a quick post since i notice that there's a new episode of the_source. in case your head is in cased in stone or maybe you're just stoned. the_source is an iptv show all about the world of linux &open source and its made using all open source software, oh yeah and the best part, its the only one that's not german! its what keeps inspiring me to try and get my own open source vlog started. but until than i'll have to settle for my own podcast. *coming soon* it'll be an open source web dev. web2.0, lamp, &so much more. i'm on track to have my first episode produced &published within the next 36 hours. i know it won't prolly be perfect... but it'll get better with age, just like linux &open source. anyways get ready, and until then: go &watch the_source and scootch on back here... *smooch*
