18 Apr 10 Lucid Lynx
Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook. It’s otherwise known as Lucid Lynx. Getting a few issues, like a non terminal kernel error (so far), and Wakoopa doesn’t want to work.
Otherwise so far so good.
A few extra apps are installed by default, such as a video editor, and a simple scanning app. I can’t report anymore on these at this time, as I’ve not used them.
The full release is due out on April 29th, and is an LTS edition.

20 Aug 08 Evernote
I’ve been trying out Evernote over the last week or so. To be honest, after I installed it, it sat there for a few days, before I really started to use it.
Now, however, I have started to make use of it, and it is proving useful. I like the OCR within images and handwritten text, which is supposed to be even better in the Premium version.
Two major things are missing for me at the moment. I want to see an application for Linux, and also for the Blackberry. Then it will be much more useful for me.

04 Jul 08 Firefox Certificate
“From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3!” came the statement from Mozilla, making this the record download of software in 24 hours, and earning them a place in Guinness World Records.
Mozilla’s servers crashed on the day due to the very high demand, but they had them back up in a couple of hours, and I went ahead and got copies of Firefox 3.0 for both my Windows and Linux machines here, and they’ve run without a hitch since.
In the time since Download Day, over 28 million people have downloaded the browser. The United States leads the world in Firefox 3 downloads with over 7.7 million. Germany ranks a distant second with over 2.4 million users downloading the Mozilla’s browser to date.
Firefox now commands 19% total market share according to ZDnet blogs.
