I ordered my new digital camera and so was going through the SD card in my current one (ordered some higher capacity ones for the new one) and I found a few photos of Callum that hadn't made it into any of my other galleries. They range from very shortly after his birth to not long ago. Click here.

With my new totem-xine packages, you can also listen to the full range of BBC radio stations in with Windows Media or Real Audio format (codec availability allowing). Download the playlists below and, in GNOME, they ought to be associated with Totem already.

Using Factory?

Like Totem?

Want to use it with the Xine backend?

Then you need totem-xine.

You can grab it from my home repository (note: Factory only) - it should replace totem. You can now, if you want, use the full range of media types that Xine can handle. Furthermore, if you install the PackMan libxine* packages for 10.3 (yes, on Factory), it will use them too - including all the Windows codecs.

Why not just use the PackMan totem package? Because if a newer version number appears in Factory, you'll lose the Xine backend when you do an update. This way you're protected from that.

Once you've installed it, you can check within Totem that you're using Xine by doing Help; About and you should see the following information:

Roger's mention in my sermon is a classic example of a 3am(ish) idea. [:)]

In other news, I just broke my tall Maisel's Weisse beer glass by knocking it out of the draining rack. [:(]

18-Mar-2008 09:02 GMT: Summer of Code

openSUSE got accepted to the Google Summer of Code 2008. A couple of years ago, I got the GTK+ front-end to YaST accepted as a project and so this year, I've suggested a GTK+ version of the YaST installer.
