This evening, it was raining and a tad chilly. Not ideal weather for many things, but pretty good for jogging - I usually go round the local park twice. Today, I felt so unfatigued at the end of the second lap, I carried on and did a third, just for the Hell of it.
I might have done a fourth, but I was getting bored by then :o) I may have to look into an MP3 player after all...
Came back and tried out a new LiveCD, hot off BitTorrent. New to me, that is - it's been out a while. It's kororaa version two. If you've not tried it yet, I thoroughly recommend you do so ASAP.
The most noticeable differences between 0.2 and 0.1 are the hard-disk installation option, and the KDE option.
If the first version was impressive, the second is amazing. Even playing 3D-accelerated games (Okay, so it was only Tux Racer) caused not the slightest struggle from the 3D desktop. The Alt-Tab function in particular makes good use of the 3D power, offering small live views of all windows - even the DVD-playing movie player - and rendering all other windows transparent so the currently-selected full-size window is more visible.
It's an impressive bit of kit, it's just a shame it won't boot off a USB CD - I'd love to try it on my laptop. I will very likely be trying the hard-disk installation soon - but I'm waiting on another installation CD before I start any playing around of that sort. . .
