I've been looking, lately, at lighting, furniture, interior design and such. These lamps are something else I've found that I really like the look of.

Sheep Stools?

I awake from my slumber



Beautiful fluffy sheep designed by Hanns-Peter Krafft, available at Thorsten van Elten in various poses. The website says they are strong enough to be used as stools. i have no joke to add here about sheep stools. Pah.

L’hotel Particulier de Montmartre

I decided I'm going to start posting some more diverse stuff, and more often, though I'm sure I won't do anything of the kind. But here is a good intention. Beautiful pictures of the L’hotel Particulier de Montmartre in Paris, a small hotel, well smallish, it only has 5 suites, but look at them,



each individually decorated by a designer (some are artists or photographers), surrounded by a garden from a fairy tale it looks like. I'm sure the actual hotel isn't as wondrous as it looks, life is always disappointing that way, but I can dream. See pictures of all the suites here.

why does blogger do this weirdness with the images, its fucking up my posts, woss goin' on?

Dabbling in Linux Live CDs

I've been trying some out on my old laptop, sling in the CD and run Linux off it. So far I am liking
Kate OS

a lightweight fast distro, looks nice and runs fast. With XFCE desktop environment. The snappiest of the CDs I've tried.

Wolvix

is also feature packed and looks good (choose between window managers XFCE and Fluxbox, which are my current faves (appearance and design-wise)). Though they are both based on Slackware and not sure I'm ready for escaping the ease of Ubuntu yet. It comes with multimedia apps like MPlayer, Kino and Audacity and Internet apps like WiFi Radar and XChat. It comes in two variations Cub, which is a small edition designed to fit on a flash drive (256 MB) and Hunter, the one I tested, the HD version.

I've briefly (very briefly) tried FreeSbie which i s a FreeBSD distro, which took ages to load, but looks very deep. It features xffm, a window manager I had not come across before with many features, but looks complex. I'll be checking FreeSbie out in more depth later.

I still have more CD flavours to taste.
