IcePuppy-004
I also want to give a plug to pemasu.His new IcePuppy is pretty cool and has most of my favourite programs included.
He is also using a new later kernel which seems to be behaving itself quite well.
Do yourself a favour, have a play.

Yes, he hasn't changed the name of it from snowpuppy yet.

Easter is here
It's nice to have a long break and this year including ANZAC day totals five days.I have been trying to get Openshot (video editing software) to work properly. It is very easy to drive but for some reason the sound gets out of sync with the video. The video I made is 1h 50m long so by the time it gets to the end the sync is out by about 1 or 2 seconds, not a lot but very annoying. It looks silly when you can hear the golf ball being struck about 1 second before you see it. It's sort of the wrong way around when you consider light travels faster than sound.
Anyway my next attempt will be to make about 15 minutes clips them together join them using Pburn. Hopefully the sync will remain in tact for each 15 minute clip.
There has also been some discussion of the forums with regards to Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 not being able to save a savefile to the CD/DVD. I have been having the same problem recently but I think I may have discovered my fault. I may not have been burning the CD as multisession. Once I did, all worked as expected.
I hadn't noticed the issue when installing puppy 5.2.5 to a USB flash drive as I normally do it manually which always works.
A video of my method can be viewed here:

IRC
Last night I spent a bit of time playing with IRC, something I haven't bothered with before. I was quite impressed just how well it works. I started with Pidgin which is quite good and even did a couple of file transfers with brown_mouse.I then tried Xchat, another nice package. Both seem to perform quite well.
The third I tried was ChatZilla which is actually bundled with the Seamonkey suite. It also worked quite well. Of the three I think I like Pidgin the best but that's not to say the others were no good, in fact they were very good.
One more tick for the bucket list.
