Ubuntu Rebranded

By Andrew
A new look for Ubuntu has long been in the pipelines and is a welcomed addition to Lucid Lynx. The Ayatana Project has done an excellent job at modernising the operating system. I can't help noticing the Mac influence although they've managed to keep the Ubuntu feel. It's a clean, modern and consistent style and in my opinion, it's going to have a huge impact on the perception of Ubuntu. Well done to all involved.

Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS):








Lucid Lynx (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS):

Quake3 in HD

By Andrew
Dust off the old PK3 files: Although it's over 10 years old, Quake 3 is still being played in offices around the world. Since id software has open sourced the Quake 3 engine; a community of developers has created an updated engine called ioquake3 and has recently also included a high resolution texture pack . ioquake3 is 100% compatable with Quake3 v1.32 so you will be able to join servers running the original Quake3 engine and vice versa. All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

Die Antwoord Is Conceptual Art

By Andrew
“Corporate giants can’t fuck with the link between our art and our clients”, one of the many recycled phrases in Waddy Jones ’ arsenal. This middle class English-speaking white boy from Randburg has spent many years perfecting the art of rap but lyrical gymnastics alone won’t pay the bills. Keeping it real was ironically not his claim to fame, completely redefining his personality to a stereotypical white trash South African reflecting a prominent hardcore sub-culture was what got him there. “Ninja” is probably the only aspect of the zen loving individual that’s been carried through to Die Antwoord .

Black Economic Empowerment is Racist

By Andrew
BEE is blatantly corrupt and racist yet our "leaders" speak of it as if it's perfectly acceptable and even necessary. I have even heard the phrase "No one questions the necessity of BEE, it's the implementation that must be discussed". This is strange to me since 90% of the people i speak to on this topic (black, white, coloured, indian) have said that it's racist and destructive. That's certainly at least a small group of people that do question it.
