I'm really getting into this cplay... used to use it years ago and it's all coming back to me...

Also found a nice howto kinda page here...

http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/05/01 … ike-a-pro/

Don't forget to install mpg321 and/or splay to get mp3 if you give it a go...

I'm into a bit of brown simplicity at the moment... got cplay on the go...

I wasn't too keen on it firing up when I logged in so I made a menu entry...

<item label="System Update">
    <action name="Execute">
        <execute>
                        terminator --command=system-update
        </execute>
    </action>
</item>

May I suggest cplay as a possibility for audio playback, again it's very simple to use, worth taking a look at (needs madplay for mp3 playback)...

The update command could also be included in Openbox's autostart file at ~/.config/autostart.sh

did you mean  ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh ?

just IM... it works very well and is real easy to use...

One of my favourite CLI apps is centerim... http://www.centerim.org/index.php/Main_Page

I'll be sticking that in my menu for sure...

Anyway thanks, brilliant, well done maestro

wow... that's really cool... you'll have to do a shorter one for U - toob

perhaps you should try a cup of tea next time, see if you get the same effect...

Someone told me about this awesome site yesterday... Was wondering if anyone has seen the video yet... I think it's a brilliant little presentation which really exposed some vital issues we should all be seriously thinking about...

http://www.storyofstuff.com/

What's your opinion?

To my mind if what she's saying is true then we are in for some serious changes in our lives in this western world and very soon... In fact it's all a bit scary... Is it not?

hmm

The only change i made was swapping claws for evolution...

I feel this is gonna appeal to a lot of people...

Keep up the good work... and Thanks
