Groovera

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

just few days ago my friend told me about this new internet stream called Groovera

and I liked it :)

actually groovera has 3 radio streams and I listen only to one, the one my friend told me about

the stream name is Low Mercury and they describe it as a mix of downtempo, techno, house, nu-jazz etc.

now what is interesting about this is that it sounds really unusual, nothing like I’ve heard so far

there are times that I think it is great, times when I get nervous listening to it but most of the time its cool

and there’s this other stream that I listen to a lot

it’s Radio Best 92.6 FM from Athens

it’s got a really good selection of new cool music at friday night (starting at about 10pm)

I think the DJ responsible for the good vibes is Spiros Pagiatakis (Σπύρος Παγιατάκης) but I could be wrong ;)

anyway, check out those streams :)

Electric Yugo

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

some time ago I heard a local company started selling electric yugo

a car with led batteries and maximum speed 45 kilometers per hour sells for like 15000 euros

wow

talk about high price

and practically unusable car at those low speeds

but I like their effort

someone has finally built a local electric car

oh yeah

they also offer jobs for their customers with a salary of 200euros/month

so basically they’re asking their customers to credit them and in return they get a low paying job assembling those cars

this is a bit funny ;)

Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

I upgraded few days ago and ran into problems

my wireless card based on atheros chip stopped working
it seems they’ve deliberatly removed madwifi support from wpasupplicant or something so I did two things, I downgraded wpasupplicant to hardy version and compiled/installed madwifi drivers from the project website

another problem that is still unresolved is the graphics
they’ve removed the old good driver, i810 and instead put intel driver for xorg
the intel driver is twice slower
I can’t watch flash movies any more, it’s that slow
and worse, if I hibernate from the X, I get garbled screen on next startup, nothing works
so I’ve found a workaround, I hibernate from text mode ;)

anyway, I noticed kde applications have better looking interface, a new sound manager (pulseaudio), no more gaim (now it’s called pidgin)…
