Good blog writing software for Linux or lack thereof
http://www.ainotenshi.org –
Has anyone ever noticed the lack of good blog writing software for linux? I know that ‘good’ is a relative term and some may be happy with the way it is now. I am not.
Right now there are two applications doing a somehow more or less good job: ScribeFire and BlogGTK.

Audio/Visual Synthesis: The New Arts, Part 2
http://www.linuxjournal.com –
In this second part of my survey I focus on the tools that achieve this new synthesis of arts. Alas, due to space constraints I am unable to include all the software I would like to have reviewed, but perhaps a future article will deal with those programs.

VLC gets a New Face
http://kdubois.net –
I’m happy to report though, that VLC has migrated to a Qt based gui that I have to say, is a lot nicer. The basic controls haven’t moved much, but the subtle changes here and there give it a much nicer feel than it used to have.

Why I am Leaning Toward FreeBSD
http://codeghar.wordpress.com –
Continuing the series of trying to come up with reasons for choosing an operating system, FreeBSD will be discussed. Although FreeBSD is not Linux, it is Unix-like, nonetheless. I have never used FreeBSD and all things discussed here are second-hand knowledge.

Ten Bookmark Plugins for Firefox and Camino
http://ostatic.com –
If you spend any length of time on the Internet, then you know how helpful a broswer's bookmarking feature can be. If, like many of us, you practically live on the Internet, you know bookmarks are essential. Firefox 3's revised bookmark system is great, but if you still need more than it offers, you've got plenty of other options.
