Rhythmbox is becoming more awesome The new version of Rhythmbox included in Feisty, version 0.10.0, is very nice! I’m totally impressed with the enhancements since the last version I was using. Jamendo integration: it will download the catalogue of artists and songs on Jamendo, and you can browse or play it just as if it… Continue reading More Ubuntu Feisty

alt-tab
Something I’ve always wondered about was the strange lack of mouse control in the ubiquitous alt-tab dialog. (And for UI “dialog“s, should I be using the Canadian spelling, “dialogue?”).
