Blocweb

Does anyone know if having mixed table collations can cause problems with SMF? I have a few old forums and the one that has always given me problems has mixed table collations.

I am also helping someone fix the problems on their site. I was leaning toward hosting issues, which the hosting is not very good, but noticed they also have mixed collations.

I'm dying to check this out when it becomes available. 

Ubuntu has announced a change to their version of Linux that ought to get hot key junkies and voice control enthusiasts alike to raise their heads with glee.

Ubuntu 12.04 will introduce a new Heads-Up Display for interacting with the operating system in April, wrote Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth. The HUD will allow you to "express your intent" with the operating system and the programs running on it, wrote Shuttleworth.

Currently, it's activated by hitting the Alt key, which opens a translucent box into which you can speak or type your commands. As you start to type the word Firefox, for example, the predictive menu will pull up launching Firefox as an option.

This is just a post to introduce this blog board, where regular users can post about everything internet/computing. It will show up in the blogroll, located in the main menu.

Amon Tobin has been along time favorite of mine, blending techno/breakbeat/synth and jazz elements into fascinating soundscapes. This is a video from the newest project of his, a live show with out-of-this-world video/projection technology + music from the newest album, which is prob. the most innovative stuff from him yet.

Have a look.

I did some house-cleaning yesterday, literally, because I've noticed that some of the boards on Blocweb are underused. So to keep it neat and compact still I've moved quite a few topics/boards. That means you now have just a couple of boards to navigate, and only one blog board, used for my own ramblings lol.
