Freetekno is a cultural movement present in Europe and North America. Freetekno soundsystems or tribes form in loose collectives, frequently with anarchist philosophies. The soundsystems gather in warehouses, fields, abandoned buildings, forests, or anywhere else that a party can be rocked. Freetekno parties are often held on abandoned private property or in city centers. This sometimes leads to clashes with the police, as was the case at the 2004 Czechtek festival, and many smaller parties all around the world at various times.

Come to the Autonomous Mutant Festival! Be a Gypsy.

The BBC is reporting that 142 people have been arrested and 7,000 have “undergone preventive police checks.” Apparently they’re deporting 52 Gypsys. Sad stuff.

Let’s please not turn the Middle East into glass because of London.

Every week, your plan limits will grow as follows, at absolutely no charge: L1: 20MB disk and 1GB bandwidth each week! L2: 40MB disk and 1.5GB bandwidth each week! L3: 60MB disk and 2GB bandwidth each week! L4: 80MB disk and 2.5GB bandwidth each week! So, the longer you host with us, the more you've got! AND, we're so nice we've even retroactively grown your limits based on how long you've been hosting with us already (up to a one year max)! If that's not something to blog about, I don't know what is!

I now have 10860.000MB of space and 350GB of bandwidth.

Picture are up.

Josh hooked me up with some cool software called Synergy. It allows you to control multiple computers, through the network, with one keyboard and mouse. Sort of like a virtual KVM, but each computer still requires its own monitor. It’s a wonderful, cheap way to get a multiple monitor system.

I use it at work to control my XP workstation from my laptop.

Oh, you probably already guessed this, but the version in Ubuntu’s repository is old.

I changed my mail client from Ubuntu’s default Evolution back to Thunderbird. Evolution was really nice when it worked – but that was rare. It would always disconnect from the IMAP server and do all sorts of funky things. One would think that the software would improve after being bought by a big corporation like Novell. Oh well.

Apparently when Synaptic automatically runs to check for updates, it uses 100% of the CPU. That’s slightly annoying. Especially when you’re not online.
