Grip it

15 November 2006 by kristarella

I gave up on Sound Juicer. Despite it’s funky logo and the ease and accuracy with which it detected the CD information, I eventually got it to rip songs so that Rhythmbox could import them but the files didn’t have the ID3 data (title, artist etc). So I used Grip. Grip is highly customisable and […]

HazarHazoo moment

14 November 2006 by kristarella

I bought a couple of CDs today, Recurring Dream: The Best of Crowded House and She Will Have Her Way: The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn. I was hoping to get the 2 disc set of She Will Have Her Way because it has the female artists singing the Finns’ songs on the first […]

Flock?

30 October 2006 by kristarella

Has anyone used Flock? It looks a bit interesting and these people seem to love it. I’m mainly drawn to it because it can be used to upload lots of photos to Photobucket, which could be quite useful. I’m fairly anti-installprogramswillynilly so I’d appreciate more feedback on this software.

Gnome desktop

30 October 2006 by kristarella

I finally figured out how to make my desktop nice and clean. Okay, so hubby helped a lot because my Google searches weren’t bringing up much. What one needs is gconf, which can be used to edit application and desktop preferences. I already had it installed but it wasn’t in my applications list, perhaps they […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
