It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me. :la:
Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang. :D

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Thanks. That distro is a blast!
I'm seriously in love with some it's features, and I'm trying to figure out how to import some it's features into gnome-shell. Like that Conky Control program; I wish I could figure out what package that is!
I have discovered that radiotray does not work well in gnome-shell at all. It tends to crash the entire desktop after a few minutes.

Your welcome and I have never heard of radio try but I do run Gnome-Shell, I will give it a go and see if I have the same issue with it.

Radiotray was one of the programs I discovered for the first time while previewing Voyager; it loads automatically into the upper taskbar.
I've had disastrous results trying to run the radiotray package in gnome-shell though. Haven't tried it in Unity though. Let me know how it goes for you.

Ok update, turned off notifications plugin and then rebooted and now working fine, no more crashing at all. I have stopped stations then picked new ones and no issues thus far, so looks like the notification plugin was the culprit for me. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with Gnome-Shell. I hope this helps you, let me know if you have any questions. :-)

For some reason it isn't working that way for me. I've noticed that when I first load Radio Tray, the icon pops into the bottom notification bar on GNOME3, and it sits there.

The icon has the title "radiotray". This seems to be important somehow...

Because when I click on a station and play it, the name of the app in the notification tray changes to "Radio Tray" AND THEN IT FREEZES! I don't know what it's doing in the background, but the app loads fine and I can switch stations just fine, but as soon as the name changes from the lowercase extension name to the Proper Case "Radio Tray" it freezes and usually takes the desktop with it.

I think I'm going to load it through the Terminal and see what it's doing in the background, and then possibly file a bug report.

You did turn off the notification plugin? Also did you verify all dependencies were installed? If so then I am not sure why you are having a different result. Let me know what else you find out. :-)

Ok running in Gnome-Shell, I installed latest version via Deb file. As soon as I started playing a station the app crashed but the music keep playing. I made sure all dependencies were installed so not sure why it crashed. I will continue to mess with it to see what may be causing the issue.

I liked this Voyager, but... It's like another customized "kind-of-Ubuntu", cause doesn't bring any "important" change, just simple customizations that anyone can do in Xubuntu.
Look, this isn't bad, but I'd rather customize by myself, as I'm trying to do with my ArchLinux(xfce4)
