There was a post about a music client that showed all album covers in a huge list. I thought, lets try this in gmpc.

December 27, 2008 – 1:19 pm
A long time ago I blogged about having issues with icon in gtk on windows. It refused to look inside 16×16/24×24 etc directories. (see here ). I think I finally found a solution.

Quality of soundcards
December 21, 2008 – 7:56 pm
I often make the remark that soundcards in laptops/motherboards are bad. F.e. I say “It does not perform better then 12 bit”. What I mean by this is the following: If you turn an analog signal into a digital signal, you introduce errors, because you only have X defined levels, not infite as with analog. read more
