^Isn't it the same for most places? At least most of the places I've been to. Same case for most 7-11's (and other 24/7 marts). They stock beer, wine-cooler, cider, etc but not stuff like undiluted whiskey, gin, vodka, etc.

I think it's down to the license. Beer and stuff is usually categorized under the typical Food & Beverage license or equivalent, while the "harder" stuff usually needs a proper Alcohol license or equivalent. F&B licenses are usually easier to obtain, and are probably cheaper as well.

I get what you're saying, though. People can decimate themselves with all sorts off-the-counter products. Cigs, beer, msg in chips, etc.

Went to the local arty/indie theater today (it's a local cineplex that specializes in indie and "foreign" film) and caught Elena, which was (imho) a decent noir thriller. Just thought I'd share.

^ If by "electronic" you mean the standard minimal-techno Villalobos, you should probably look for Fabric 36. Some of his work tends too be a bit too self-indulgent, but that Fabric mix album is quite superb.

Thanx for the Planet.Mu link, btw.

Currently listening to "Guido's Lounge" on Oasis-Osaka Radio.
Pretty chilled/ethereal vibes.

@Bacon
Pangowhat? The abundance of purple is because,... I have no idea why, actually.

@Athos
From the stark bleakness of Ricardo Villalobos to the rich over-condensation of Machinedrum?
Quite the trip you're having over there. =]
Didn't realize Room(s) had an "Extended" album. Gonna check Beatport.

....or burn a CD, though this doesn't save our planet

Cow fart pollutes our planet just as much, but people continue buying dairy and ordering steak. I say we keep the optical media, synthetic composites and aromatic two-stroke blue smoke and burn the cattle instead!!

Nice guide, btw.
Does the Ubuntu base install still bring in stuff like Upstart and all those sketchy readahead daemons?
Also, is it possible to install only the xorg packages you need, or does Ubuntu's implementation of apt-get still insist on the "all" metapackage, making you install everything from Matrox to 3dfx Voodoo drivers from last century?

Good to see you back. I remember your sweet FreeBSD scrots. Thanks for giving the GTK a test-drive, btw.

What kind of path are you entering? Sometimes you might need the full path like home/<user>/downloads/pr0n.... as opposed to the usual ~/downloads/pr0n...

I don't use dwb, so I checked the online man page

It seems to store modified settings in ~/.config/dwb/settings, so maybe you should check that to see what kind of download-directory is listed, and change to your desired one if possible.

From back when I dabbled with gtk and openbox.
Figured I should re-post the scrots before linking em to @Bacon's gtk2 thread.

An old theme I never got round to finishing. Well, it's actually finished, just not finished by my standards (not flat enough). Just thought I'd post em here since I never got round to putting them up on my old thread.

DDL = http://ompldr.org/vZHJydg/Superflat.tar.gz

Screenshots of the theme (gtk-2.0 + openbox-3) can be be found in this month's screenshot thread.

Most of it is from-scratch, though I lifted some nautilus and metacity related bits from other murrine themes.
Might get back to work on this when I find the time/mood.

run 'sensors'

That's what I've always done, since the dawn of lm-sensors. Only difference is I grepped the values straight from "sensors" output like this:

CPU1 - ${execi 8 sensors | grep -A 0 'Core 0' | cut -c16-17}

Same for voltage or fan speed. I knew about acpitemp and hwmon for temperatures. Just never bothered checking if hwmon parsed fan speed as well.

huh, thanks for newsbeuter. I can't stand in-browser feed readers, which is why I never used them, and slrn is just plain annoying to set up.now,

There's also snownews, which some people rave about. I personally prefer newsbeuter. Works well for quick checking news articles and forum posts with the; html-renderer "elinks -dump -T text/html" inserted in its config file.

${hwmon 1 fan 1}

I had no idea hwmon parsed fan speed. Always had to grep it from lm-sensors output.
Thanks for the info.
