http://megatokyo.com/rant/1008 I've been busy over the past week, but it's been a good busy, not the "keep myself from thinking hard about things" busy that marked my summer.
For one thing, my job at SideReel has led into them opening up my very own anime blog (because the Internet needs more anime blogs) called AnimeReel, where I've spent the last week giving it some daily love. You can rest assured that this blog will be updated daily, as I write for it regularly during work ...[permalink] |

I had a quick look at the new (9.10) release of Ubuntu Linux. Basically, I'd say it's roughly comparable to Windows XP only with an even worse GUI. Seriously, why do they need a menu bar at the top of the screen when there's already a menu bar within each application? It's so irritating and wasteful of space. Also, there are far fewer applications available than on Windows XP.
I thought the new Ubuntu One cloud service might make it more attractive, but when I tried to access that from the File Browser I got an error saying it wasn't compatible. That's absolutely hopeless. Do they actually test any of this stuff before releasing it?
Linux on the desktop continues to be a huge disappointment. I know it's free, but in this case you really do get what you pay for. I like the fact that the Ubuntu guys are trying to push desktop Linux, but surely someone can do better than this?
