Crouch doing the robot after goal

The Last of the Mohicans clips

This film as some of the best fight scenes ever. It has the best ending I have ever seen in a film. The music is really good too.

By the way this film shows the complete ending

I have used clearlooks theme on gnome for sometime. Its nice to work in and looks nice so when I found a windows clone in black I jumped at the chance to get to install it. Theres too many theme creators working on getting their work to look like windows vista.

note: You can have the toolbar in black too if you wanted
If you want to install it you need to patch your explorer with UXTheme Multi-Patcher... simple, right!

You can download the theme from http://www.deviantart.com/view/31325014/

Cartoons on Youtube

A digguser created a list of playlists of tv shows which include Spongebob, South Park, Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead. Some clasics too like Tom and Jerry, Road Runner, and Mighty Mouse.

see the list here:

Google Image Ripper

Stop looking at tiny thumbnails and skip to the real thing.

If we search for ubuntu (My favourite linux distro at the moment) we get a group of bigger images related to ubuntu. You can play with the result settings, make the images large and display lots ect ect.

Anti-Flag-"The Press Corpse"

Great punk band on a big record label... madness. But... good song and video.

Installed Ubuntu

Installed it on my laptop with the existing windows xp on the hard drive. For the first time ever I had no problems setting a linux distro up. The installer was fast, had no problems making space on the windows partition and for a bonus the script I found to run my speedtouch modem on knoppix works just fine. Automatix (Automated GUI installation script) is a blessing for lazy people like me since I didn't have to do anything expect click what I wanted. The script will even download firefox with all the plugins you need and download media plugins that you need to play mp3s and dvds. I never really used gnome as my main interface but hey I like it.

My desktop

USB drives work fine and I can connect my gp2x (linux handheld) to it just fine.

I really like this operating system. I have had nothing to do but use it, theres not much to do when setting it up just like every OS should be! Looking forward to the new version when it is out of beta.

Telneting into GP2X

The hackerish fun you can with this thing. Firmware 2 has improved usb driver, web server, ftp + telnet, and its own samba. First thing I did when I installed firmware 2 was telnet in, I had to install some windows drivers then switch the usb network on and turn ftp/telnet on.

You can now Google...

...My blog from the top search box. Its still in testing but its working
