SSI = Intel spec, which, among other things, defines the “EPS” “enhanced” ATX specification
EPS12V= Power supply with 24-pin EPS12V connector, plus one 8-pin “additional 12v connector”.

Gnome theme problems.

Wow, major problems with Gnome and trying to change themes. Ended up the issue was some weird conflict with the gtk-qt-engine package. A simple:

apt-get remove –purge gtk-qt-engine

solved the problem. Of course it took a fews days of googling to find the answer, which was on Ubuntu’s bug tracker (don’t have the link handy sorry). The issue I had was that if I tried to change the theme or any part of the appearance of Gnome, the whole theming application would go blank. If you expierence this too, remove gtk-qt-engine .

R&B, Jazz, Motown in Toronto

Was up in Toronto for a couple of days visiting family. On Friday night a couple of us went to Zemra a bar/cafe around the corner for a drink, and there was a pretty decent band & singer playing. The singer was Errol Fisher, and he was really good and the band were very good too. If your in Toronto and get a chance to see Errol Fisher I’d recommend it!em
