Listen "TuxJam 124 – Predators & Pistes"
Episode Synopsis
Following a restful summer (and autumn for Kevie) Dave, Andrew, Al and Kevie reunite once again to look at software that is open and free, and tunes that are commonly creative. They begin with their usual roundup from distrowatch.
Next we look at a lean and mean gnu/linux distro called Catbird which sports the attractively lightweight and rodent-free DWM window manager.
We then chill out by playing the beautiful and endless skiing game called Lato. Note however that the eponymous hero, Lato, who is always late, frequently meets his end and if you're not careful so will your phone. It is only the side-scrolling that is, in theory, endless.
Finally we discuss feedback with a difference. It was given in-person according to Kevie but the rest of us are unsure as to what that means and are researching the "in-person" app. We mention the recently launched HPR Beer Garden series hosted by Kevie and Dave and also, not one but two upcoming podcrawls.
Creative commons tunes played in this episode are:
The Fifth Resonance - The Wandering Sage
The Glass Child - Oceans
The NumbKnives - You Don't Understand Me
Infraction - Time To Believe
And also a snippet of the soundtrack of Lato:
