ubuntu, linux, bluetooth
I've been thinking of getting a bluetooth-based HID for my setup at home since I wanted to learn more about bluetooth itself and get to play around with real devices that has out of the box support. One of the requirements is that it should be running on Linux as well or at least able to be detected by Bluez.
I'll probably go to the shop tomorrow and see what's available.

ubuntu, ds, thoughts, opera
...
I just read a
good preview of the DS browser from
organicchunkysalsa and from the looks of it, the browser would be part of my "must-buy" DS items when it comes out. At home, we have very limited space and we don't have the budget for a new laptop so having the DS connected online would be great for my wife and to my daughter even. I think it would be a great way to introduce the Internet to my 4 year old daughter and she's already well-versed on how to use the DS so it shouldn't be an issue for her.
Come to think of it, I didn't have access to such technologies when I was at her age!
There was also some
weird feedback on having
Opera easily installable in Ubuntu via a partnership with
Canonical Ltd. While I'm all for free software,
I'm also for end-user choice. Choice is one of the essential cornerstones of freedom so anything that tries to curb choice tries to lessen our freedom.
I could say that Opera is one of the few non-free applications that I like using and hope for the day when it truly becomes free. But for now, I'm still enjoying it despite its non-free nature.

ubuntu, linux, opera, browsers
It seems I couldn't install the latest version of Opera in the upcoming Ubuntu 6.06 release. Even if I download the static deb, then trying to install it with gedebi, I still get a dependency error on xlibs and xlibgc6, both of which I could not find in the archives. So that's the reason why I haven't been using Opera in Ubuntu 6.06 yet.
