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.

Well I haven’t blogged in a few days. Let me catch you up to speed. I fucked up something and KDE was all weirded out on me. So I reinstalled Ubuntu with Gnome. I got everything back up to par more or less. I compiled Super Maryo Chronicles from scratch for the new version. OMG it’s an addictive game, but I have problems getting past the second world. So weird getting back to 2D scrollers, LOL.
I decided to try out an online MMO called Vendetta Online. It’s a space type of MMO and it’s pretty decent. I’m just starting out so I am getting used to the controls and everything but it’s all in all a pretty smooth game.
I got Skype, LiVES, Audacity and VLC installed, however I haven’t really played with anything. For some reason I was having some issues with Songbird.. GOing to reinstall it soon. But mostly I was checking out Amarok.
Now Amarok is a decent player, however I am sketchy on the organization thing it does. It really messes up on the ID3 tags sometimes.
I have a few tunes (1 Andrew W.K. tune, Some “Weird Al” tunes and some Kabuto the Python tracks) which it decided to put everyone in mismatched folders. *sigh*
I hope I can get back to Songbird. I loved that program’s sorting feature a lot better. Also Amarok uses Amazon ONLY for the album art. WTF? Nothing I listen to is on there. BAH!
That’s it for today.
