Yesterday (around 3-4 AM) I installed Linux Mint on my laptop (Toshiba R830). So now it has Windows 7, Arch and Mint. To enhance the awesomeness, I downloaded a Ghost in the Shell wallpaper and added a Linux Mint logo to it which I edited with a brush. All work was done in GIMP.

I had totally forgot that I promised to upload some photos of Ergo Proxy – The Complete Collection Box Set half a year ago. However, yesterday I got a comment from a guy wondering what happened with the pictures, so here they are (better late than never 
):
As you can see, the case isn’t of the highest quality. I wonder if it even is possible to produce a box more cheaply than this. Everything is made of plastic, no individual boxes, and they didn’t include any type of extra content beyond the discs.
For comparison; here is a photo of the Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex – Complete 1st GIG box that I also own, which is made of remarkable higher quality:

Today I downloaded some pictures drawn by somebody called Kantoku. Sadly I can’t find anything about him/her in English. Anyway, I have resized the pictures to 1920×1200 (HD) and added Arch Linux logos to them. Nothing advance, but I think that they look really good on the desktop.

Kurumi 2, Kantoku - Arch Linux

Not long ago did I also create some Linux Mint wallpapers with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei characters which can be found here:

I have modified five Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei wallpapers that I found on the Internet with Linux Mint logos. Not much work done, but on the other hand it didn’t take much time. They are all in 1920×1200 (HD?).
Tane Kitsu - Linux Mint
Kanako Oora - Linux Mint
Meru Otonashi - Linux Mint
Miko Nezu - Linux Mint
Shouko Maruuchi - Linux Mint
If you, like me, have two monitors, you may find this wallpaper nice on your desktop:

On ubuntuforms.org I saw a post by the user castrojo to two Unity video tutorials made by him. I think that they work as a good introduction to Ubuntu’s new user interface. However, Ubuntu 11.04 hasn’t been released yet, and Canonical says that they will do many changes until then. But I suppose that the basics will be the same, and that they only will add more functionality. Links to the two videos:
When I started Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 for my first time, I was really sceptical to Unity, so I changed fast to Ubuntu Classic. But then I gave Unity a second chance and I must say that it actually isn’t that terrible. I miss some stuff, like better support for dual monitor setups, the ability to right click the panels, and the ability add applets to the top panel. But I hope this will be fixed to the release of Ubuntu 11.04.
Below I have embedded 3 awesome, fresh Angry Joe videos that you must see. Enjoy! =)

Ummm… Lets see if I can explain what Jupiter Broadcasting is. The sub-title on their website is “independent entertainment, on demand”, and I think that pretty much sums it up. What I have seen, there are three persons making the videos, or at least I have only seen three in the videos. Maybe there are more behind the scenes, I don’t know. However, they have five shows (according to their homepage), where I find their show Linux Action Show the best. It’s broadcasted live every Sunday on their website, and then uploaded online for downloading and streaming. It’s usually about one hour long, and it’s fun and informative. But they don’t have that many viewers, according to the numbers below the videos on their Youtube Channel. Maybe many watch them live, or watch the episodes on their official website instead, or maybe download the episodes, I don’t know. But I really want more people to check these guys out, because they are doing a great work on their spare time – which they are providing to us completely free of charge.
So, check them out. I have added some links below. I hope you will like their work as much as I do.

Firefly
During this winter holiday I have been watching through all episodes of The Big Bang Theory, and a few times has the character Sheldon in the series mentioned the TV series Firefly. So I got a bit excited and decided to check it out. I haven’t seen all episodes yet, but half of them. And there is also a movie called Serenity, which is a sequel to the series named after the crew’s space ship, that I’m planning on watching.
Even if I haven’t watched the whole series, I really want to recommend all of you to watch Firefly. Almost everything is great with the series. It has great and enjoyable characters, the space western theme is really awesome and the stories are all very exciting.
The only thing that I miss is that the episodes (that I have seen so far) are all stand-alone. I would rather see that the story and the characters developed during the episodes, and not that they ends where they started. But still, it’s a great series that you really shouldn’t miss! You will appreciate it even more if you enjoy science fiction.
Okay, I’m not going to buy anything. But I was interested in what kind of anime merchandise there was online, so I searched a bit and found some websites that I want to share here.
Maybe you will find something interesting on those sites. If you know any other good websites from the top of your head that fits the description, you are very welcome to leave the addresses in a comment below.

Earlier I was searching for a software that could extract the audio from a .mp4 video file. Then I ended up on a website with commands to a very useful text based program called FFmpeg, including exactly what I was searching for. You can find all necessary links below:
