Ubuntu User Days in Two Days!

Ubuntu User Days is a set of courses delivered over IRC in one day to help beginner and intermediate Ubuntu users get around their system better. The next one is going to be this Saturday, starting at 7am EST. Join in to learn about things like installing Ubuntu, using the command line, reporting bugs, and much more.

I will be teaching a course on Restricted Drivers at 11am (which I still have to do some work for!) and hope to see you there.

Groove Notify: Grooveshark play notifications for Linux

It's not that the default Grooveshark Notifications are bad. I just want my system to be consistent. So I decided to go in and write a little python script that will use the currentSong.txt file updated by Grooveshark Desktop and display a gorgeous notification. The album art is pulled from Amazon because it was convinient.

Groove Notify

Grab it with bazaar: bzr branch lp:groovenotify

For more information, visit the Groove Notify page in Launchpad.

I will be making this easier to install (deb package and PPA) soon.
