And one more time I have to find my wallpaper on an ubuntu screenshot with a message like this below:
I’m running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) with Compiz Fusion version 0.5.5 at the time of this screenshot. Wallpaper is the Dawn of Ubuntu wallpaper that for some reason wasn’t included in Feisty, but if you can find it on Flickr or Google Images if you like it.
So why is that wallpaper not in ubuntu any more? The reason is a misunderstanding and my own personal lack of license knowledge. I released it with a limited CC license which was not compatible with the ubuntu license, just that nobody noticed till (edgy? feisty?) no idea. Anyhow. If someone is missing that wallpaper, you can find it in the art section. And if one wants to have that in ubuntu again, file a bug in launchpad. I will do my best then to resolve that licensing issue.

When I was on holiday in Tuscany with my family we were there with a second family, that happened to be the family of my friend Lukas (the photographer of this picture). I had my guitar with me and played some tunes down there. His sister Isabella asked me if I could play Mad World (Tears for Fears or Gary Jules, both versions are interesting). Unfortunately I had no tabs with me, nor was i able to find proper chords for the melody.
That weekend I invited my friends to my place and Isabella asked me once again if I could play that. Now I decided to play that but I wanted to experiment a little. So here the tabs I wrote for that song:

Please keep in mind that I’m very bad at tabbing (that’s my first tab ever) and that I changed some harmonics a little bit. Makes it more interesting :-)
Maybe one finds it useful.

it was on digg and probably some more blogs. An GRUB that starts up ubuntu is featured in issue #4 of the Marvel Comic Mighty Avengers. Together with a cool “access denied” bar which obviously has not the same resolution as the GRUB ;)
Well. That’s not the original comic, but the text makes IMHO more sense :-)
the original one is here.

Smilies:
smilies = :-? /:-/ :-D
That’s nonsense code, smilies just gets /:-/ assigned. Fun nevertheless. Why that works? The first thing is a symbol literal, then there is a ternary operator, first result expression is a regular expression literal, the second is the negative version of the “D” constant. Because the symbol is true the second return expression is never evaluated and nobody complains about the missing constant D.

I have that title in the German Python Forum for some time already and now I wanted to have an avatar for that. So I tried to draw one, unfortunately I’m not that good at drawing so the result is not the best. Still. Here the full version:
and here the small one for the forum:
