The next highly anticipated release of Ubuntu will be official is scheduled for release in April this year, the release will be codenamed Jaunty Jackalope. I managed to get the Alpha release of the OS last week and I am impressed so far, there are many improvements and additions to the OS, however for me the most interesting for me is the new notifications feature.
The feature displays activity from music software, IRC clients and IM applications on your desktop. You can customize the notifications position and theme via the System menu.
This really is another step in the right direction for Ubuntu, as the eye-candy availiable is becoming a wide-ranged field of desktop effects which are really tasty!
The pretty much wraps up this post, be sure to look out for the official release in April!
This post is long due and today I decided to take the time to explain why iPocalypse IRC differs from any other IRC network on the internet.
Recently I have had the opportunity to meet so many different people all over the iPoc network that have not only helped me change BluePhoenix.TV but become a better person as well. See iPoc IRC is different because most everyone on the network does not care about status do not care if they are sop, aop, hop or vop. They are that they are part of a great community and family of friends.
I have been using iPocalypse IRC for about 4 months now and I am still amazed on how friendly everyone is. You can join an channel and be greeted not only my the members of said channel but also the staff that makes it possible for the hundreds of people to communicate across the globe (the iPoc staff). I am so pleased to know that the staff care about ever person on the network and will do anything to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
I hope to see this network grow into something unique and special on the internet and I would like to invite anyone who is not already a member to join us.
Server : irc.iPocalypse.net
Great Channels to join : #geekologist, #ipocalypse, #das, #help, #dan, #coheed, #chris, and #nuke.
From everyone here at BluePhoenix.TV I would like to thank you iPocalypse IRC for your time, patience and hard work.
