ogg feed coming soon (hopefully)
I should have done this sooner, but I am REALLY gonna try to have all future podcast to be available in both ogg AND mp3 formats. The goal will be to do this going forward with podcast 17, I may go back and make ogg formats available for 1 through 16 as well though.

Upgrading Ubuntu Dapper Xfce 4.4 beta 1 to Xfce 4.4 beta 2
Fisrt uninstall dapper's xfce:

sudo apt-get remove libthunar-vfs-1 libxfce4mcs-client3 libxfce4mcs-manager3 libxfce4util4 libxfcegui4-4 mousepad orage thunar thunar-media-tags-plugin xarchiver xfburn xfce4-appfinder xfce4-battery-plugin xfce4-clipman-plugin xfce4-cpugraph-plugin xfce4-fsguard-plugin xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-mailwatch-plugin xfce4-mcs-manager xfce4-mcs-plugins xfce4-mixer xfce4-mixer-alsa xfce4-mount-plugin xfce4-netload-plugin xfce4-panel xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin xfce4-screenshooter-plugin xfce4-session xfce4-systemload-plugin xfce4-taskmanager xfce4-terminal xfce4-utils xfce4-verve-plugin xfce4-weather-plugin xfce4-xkb-plugin xfdesktop4 xfmedia xfprint4 xfwm4 xfwm4-themes xubuntu-artwork-usplash xubuntu-default-settings xubuntu-desktop xubuntu-docs

Second, just to be on the safe side do the following: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev libvte-dev libxpm-dev libdbh1.0-dev

Then download the installer from xfce. Do a chmod a+x on it, then install (be sure not to check the alsa option or the build will fail.

For the record beta 2 is much better than the default xubuntu beta 1.

Another laptop screenshot (feat. latest fluxbox)
Here is another screenshot of ubuntu dapper on my laptop, running the latest and greatest fluxbox. in this shot you can see see the slit with the gkrellkam plugin and the fbpager running. You can also see the easily customized menu. The latest fluxbox (ubuntu package downloadable at link on left) has a cool feature that allows you to automatically create fully populated menus in addition to other nice things like selecting backgrounds from the menu.

Laptop screenshot (feat. latest fluxbox)
Here is a screenshot of ubuntu dapper on my laptop, running the latest and greatest fluxbox. in this shot you can see conky running in the bottom left hand corner, as well as a torn off fluxbox menu showing menu items linked to a script to mount an sshfs music directory and to mpc commands to navigate my music being played with the mpd.

Debain Etch on Sparc, keeping my fingers crossed
From the Debian Etch release update issued today: "For sparc, there used to be kernel failures on the buildds. Now an appropriate patch exists, but we have yet to figure out how it is or will be included into Debian. Though that is not final, we are confident enough to also set back sparc to an release architecture (especially as the bugs don't negatively affect any other architecture - the worst that can happen is that we don't have a proper kernel on sparc and need to review this decision again)."

This looks good! There is an ubuntu sparc distro now, but I'd rather run debian on my sparc server.

Progress
I made some significant progress on playing my samba shared music just now, and with an app I have never cared that much for too: totem. As far as I can tell totem is the only multimedia app (granted I haven't tried vlc yet) in dapper that can play and save a playlist from s samba share without having to mount it first. All I had to do was click on the movie menu, select open location then type smb://server_name/share_name Minutes later (I have a lot of music) totem was playing the music! Equally impressive is that I could click on the save icon and save and reopen the playlist. It even has full screen visualizations that rival the ones in iTunes. I am a happy camper (for the time being).
