Well KDE does has its flaws I guess. My podcast is music based and I get CD’s all the time from artists through Ariel Publicity and in order to put them into my show I need to extract the CD’s into an MP3 format.

Now I know I can rip to OGG or FLAC and convert them to MP3 using Audacity, LAME, and a shit load of other convertors, but that is 1 extra step! I’ve tried Sound-Juicer and K3B and looked at tutorials for each of them and still no go!

So I went back to Gnome. Long Live the Foot!

I still haven’t gone back to windows. However I found myself flip flopping between using KDE and Gnome.

I didn’t mess anything up this time under Gnome. Everything was working fine. But I decided to back up and do a clean install of Kubuntu. Everything is back up and running and nothing was really lost (except time to get everything).

So last night I loaded up some games. I love the RTS genre so I got Spring Loaded and the Evolution mod. I would really like to play the Star Wars mod but it’s closed for beta testing.

I like docks. I know it’s kind of a Mac thing, but I prefer a dock over icons all over the desktop. To me icons on the desktop are almost like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. It ruins the artwork of the desktop.

So I installed Cairo Dock. Cairo-Dock is an animated application launch bar for the desktop, comparable to the dock in Mac OS X or Rocket Dock (for Windows). I trimmed out the task tray (still want to use my panel at the moment. But I added a few of the things I use frequently and of course Second Life was added as well. I just wanted to get things off my desktop as far as the icons. Want to add this to your machine? Read on!

So looking at the version of firefox that I had I realized that it’s OLD. I uninstalled the old version (I think) and installed the more up-to-date one. And while I did that I noticed that Songbird got uninstalled. WHOOPS! No biggy, reinstalled perfectly.

Now I have the latest version of Firefox.

I also removed the little desktop folder off the desktop and kept icons… I have to think of using a dock. Going to look for a decent one under KDE. SO that is about all I did for today.
