Rich Dad, Poor Dad

There was no ‘Rich Dad’, it’s all made up snake-oil.

Aw yeah!

Malaysia is all over this in every major carpark.

Yeah, Knoppix was kind of a ‘Tucows vibe’ distro. Pretty approachable.

Zen Linux was another short-lived 2005 liveDistro, which had a nice feel and Art.

If you want a FOSS player that can use Winamp skins, it exists.

Audacious is an open-source audio-player, that can display these 98,000 .wsz Winamp Classic skins, today.

Update:

Found 2 new players today.

Clementine (the player that Strawberry is forked from), it’s awesome. Thanks for the info to find this player.

Also cmus, which is a console music-player, and basically looks like vim for audio files.

Strawberry looks very polished. I’m going to try it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

I saw a theatrical performace in 1997, called The Peplum by theatre company Royal de Luxe.

It included ‘odorama’, a contraption that looked like a TV studio camera on dolly rails across the front of the stage, that sprayed the audience stands with about 6 different smells throughout the performance.

One of the smells was horse manure, which was a nervous shock for the audience. Yes it smelt like horse poo.

A very memorable performance, because of the smells, but also the exceptional company behind it.

I still can’t believe this occurred.

Flash Gordon universe.

Particularly from the 1980 space-opera of the same name Flash Gordon. This is a fun movie.

A cheerful mix of science, cthuhlu, and athiestic themed carols.
