GNOME Remote Desktop Client

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

Found through reading the dapper-changes list (thanks Matt): Gnome-RDP, a graphical front end for RDP (rdesktop), VNC (tightvnc) and SSH (via gnome-terminal). Written in .NET with GTK#. Looks good, will install it later and have a play.

Rock rock rock paper scissors

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

Wow. I went to IHUG's Rock-Paper-Scissors competition website last night in Firefox on my Windows laptop, and there was a WMV plugin sitting there. I clicked play, and nothing happened. Oh well.

The next morning, I had need to find the website again to post a link to it, and so I opened it in Firefox on my Ubuntu pre-Dapper PC, and lo - the video starts playing all by itself. Most unspected but cool. Totem and GStreamer have come a long way.
