XGL,Compiz,Ubuntu


How badass does this look, yep thats a desktop 4 way cube rotation for different workspaces twill be interesting to see how it handle 6 spaces, Theres a vid here thanks to analogue40 http://osvids.com/files/page3-1036-pop.html

is this the shape of things to come and will vista blow it away or the other way round
I've also read some interesting stuff lately and linux is certainly gaining in popularity as everyday user start to realise bill gates has em in his pockets.
anyways just need to find time to get this up n running with my limited linux knowledge using this guide http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127090
hope my g-card takes it well :0

wasteland

Finally got some interesting games at last Tony hawks american wasteland and battlefield 2,
THAW is definetly the dogs dangly bits out of all the THPS series especially since it has the option to play as Tony T but also has some great levels such as kyoto but also has some old school levels (i thought they'd already done that)and easy multiplayer access!!
The sound track is also top notch again with namely the frank black tune 'los angeles'

BF2 not much i can say....great multiplayer interactivity with more guns n cars to shake a stick at although you need to pay for extra maps which sucks.
BF2 has rankings and medals of honour as with the real army just for extra fun and addictiveness........I've now reached sargeant and havent played it since, but the summer months are here so who needs gamez
