A little place of calm

Happy happy!!

Just finishing up configuring the computer … i have managed to enable sound – hooray! Strange it didn't just happen automatically when all i needed to do was run alsaconf and it figured it all out for me. Also playing with Samba and network sharing … at the moment i can see my partner's computer, but it's not working the other way around, or at least, i don't know what authentication details my partner is supposed to supply. No worries, we don't really need it right now. I am also finally figuring out symbolic links and how to use them effectively.

OH MY GOSH!! I have just found this Rhythmbox music management package which has managed to connect to my iPod and play stuff from it – annnnnnd connected to MuggleCast and is currently playing me the latest episode!! This is the greatest!!

This computer is such a great birthday present to myself! :)

Here are my other presents and cards that i had this morning:

Now we're looking into Songbird – as a cross-platform alternative to iTunes. Exciting!
