Tilt Shifted Fake Miniatures
After my first trials with fake tilt shifting with tiltshiftmaker.com and GIMP, and the second post with my Toronto trip pictures miniaturized, this is the third set of images that have qualified to be miniaturized via fake tilt shift effect.
Granular Linux
Granular has been my first successful tryst with KDE and E17. I have never been a fan of KDE and really didn’t like it this time either. Enlightenment is a different story altogether. It is slick and light and just so different that you actually feel that you are using a different OS. Although there [...]
Granular Linux Aside
Granular Linux has caught my fancy now. I have been looking for a distro with Enlightenment as a desktop option primarily because it looks so much cooler than KDE or Gnome. Also, because its the DE thats most unlike Windows or Mac. I hope I can get Granular to work properly on my laptop. Really [...]

They also claim to be the most easy to use distro out there. However, this may be a bit of an exaggeration considering my experience. [...]
Elive Gem: Disappointing Luxury
Elive was the distribution I was most looking forward to using for many reasons. The screen-shots and video on their website looked awesome. The distro uses Enlightenment 17 (E17) as it main desktop. Did I mention that it looked really awesome! I didn’t even mind that you had to make a compulsory donation of 10 [...]
Would the Best Looking Linux Distro Please Stand Up!
I have been a regular user of various distributions of Linux over the last 3 or so years and on and off before that too. Having started with Linux more from a novelty point of view, I very soon realized that I could actually get my work done pretty easily on Linux and also not [...]
