CoreAVC for Mplayer dead, reborn, punching bad boys to a pulp

It’s a real shame: A while ago I blogged about a very nice set of patches to make CoreAVC work on Mplayer. Now it seems that a DMCA note was filed and Google has kicked the project from it’s Code … Continue reading

New hardware just keeps rolling in

I’ve been in love with the SATA cradle from the moment I saw it. Too bad that darn thing costs half a fortune when importing it from Japan. Sharkoon obviously saw the potential of the device as well and made … Continue reading

Venturing into KDE4… and back.

One of the more frequent questions in support channels: How do I limit a specific application to not consume all my cpu time? While it is generally a bad idea to limit applications in that department, it is indeed quite … Continue reading
