Downtown
Went to a seminar downtown Toronto today. It was a nice change from the usual routine. I love seeing the city wake up and come alive. There’s just something slightly awe-inspiring about it.
I also saw huge crowds on the street around 10AM. Turns out the Scotiabank centre was having an evacuation drill. Not something you see every day.
And I don’t know why the first picture appears rotated.

Enable Desktop Effects in Kubuntu 10.10 using radeon driver
Just installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my old ThinkPad T43p. It has an ATI FireGL V3200, which is similar to the Radeon X600. The latest fglrx driver doesn’t support this card anymore, however the open-source ‘radeon’ driver does. The driver is enabled by default in a fresh install of Kubuntu maverick, however KDE desktop effects are not enabled. After some research, I found that “KWin has detected that your OpenGL library is unsafe to use, falling back to XRender.”
The solution then is to force Kwin to enable desktop effects and stop complaining.
Edit ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc
add
DisableChecks=true OpenGLIsUnsafe=false
to the
[Compositing]
section

Thanks to Rog131 of kubuntu forums.
Awesome posters
A couple of rather clever posters for two bands I was somewhat recently introduced to.

Screenshots from the past
So I was going through my old hard drives today, and came across a few old desktop screenshots. It’s interesting to see what I was up to back in the day… Using MandrakeLinux, testing Windows Vista….
