While I can’t say I recommend doing something like this, it is pretty clever.

This one took me by surprise at first. ft.com article. No more Microsoft at Google. I wonder how that will affect all of the desktop apps that they made for the Windows platform.

Today is a great day in many ways. Not only is it a wootoff, but Fedora 13 was released. Wootoff to get your special woot deals and get-fedora now. Check out the Fedora Spins while you’re at it too.

I’m sure those that do use gmail already know this, but until recently gmail had defaulted to connecting via the http option rather than the https option. Ensure that your information is protected by double checking that this option is set to https.

For those who are irritated with the new button location, here is a simple tutorial of how to make it back to the way it used to be.

Woohoo. Ubuntu is out today. Fedora comes out soon. Life is good.

In addition an interesting website that was mentioned on irc thewebsiteisdown.

Sony has decided to remove a part of the PS3 that was once advertised as a feature. OtherOS, which allowed PS3 owners to add Linux to their system will no longer be available. However, IPhone hacker and now PS3 hacker, Geohot, has hacked the PS3 to allow for the Linux option yet. Geohot for the win.

Note: K-Slug does not condone illegal hacking. K-Slug does encourage the use of Linux.

For those of you that didn’t know, Ubuntu is going to change the way that their logo appears to make it ‘light’. To see what it looks like Brand.

Is K-Slug still at K-State?  Yes, K-Slug is still here!  K-Slug is actively meeting every Wednesday for lunch in the Union and chats daily on our IRC channel.  It is just in need of some student members who love to run Linux or even want to learn how.  So if you run Linux or know of someone who does feel free to send them our way.

The biannual activities carnival has struck again. This time we handed out a whopping 24 Ubuntu CDs and many people took fliers, including a few ladies who just thought Tux was cute. Hopefully they will see that he is not only cute but useful too! We had a laptop running ubuntu with a wiimote connected that could be used to play the game neverball. Landon also stopped by for a while with his eeepc and showed off some mythweb features.

To those who are reading this as a result of picking up a flier: Welcome! If you did not sign up on our mailing list at the fair, please feel free to do so now by following the “Listserv” link on the right. Also, If you ever have time to come to lunch on Wednesdays (noon to 1PM) please come back and check the “Lunch Meetings” section on the right.

Here is a picture of the merry group:
