KDE 4 was released on the eleventh and I haven't really had time to play with it. Since Kubuntu has a live cd I gave it a spin. This is really nice if you want to check it out without installing anything. I was impressed and disappointed. I think I will wait to put it on my machine and play with it, juts seemed to me like a hacked KDE. The widgets are nice but I couldn't figure out how to resize the stupid panel and if I have less control over theming I don't see the point because it is still nothing more than KDE 3 and Superkaramba. For more information check out KDE and Plasma sites.

I had a chance to play with a couple of programs that have interested me for awhile. One is MyPaint and the other is Gogh. I have never gotten Gogh to run before so I was happy it actually ran. I am on Ubuntu 7.10 btw. Both are similar to Deep Paint/ Corel Painter natural paint programs on Windows and utilize the full potential of your drawing tablet.

I have been using Veoh TV on Windows and really like it. I found great content like all the Lexx episodes and lots of great Asian horror movies. So naturally being a Linux guy I looked for a Linux version and found OpenVeoh! 

Open Veoh is no longer under development nor is it supported. Kind of sucks, but I understand where the developer is coming from... Either way, it compiles great on Ubuntu 7.10 and works well; although, is very slow...
