gif2apng is a simple command-line program that converts GIF animations into Animated PNG format. It disproves the common misconception that APNG files must be huge, as it actually creates APNG files smaller than the original GIF files. The program is very easy to use.

Technical Details

 This is definitely not a card for hardcore gamers (unless you decide to run 2 at a time), but it’s also enough for mid-level gamers to enjoy some decent graphics at a great price.  Plus you can watch HD quality movies on your PC or HDTV.  It will eventually be put into my media/game entertainment station.

Update:  Call of Duty: World at War works with this card, but I couldn’t keep the resolution too high. 

Crysis works as well, but the Optimal Settings are set as Low.  It will run higher for sure, but will depend on your CPU for performance.  If you have a dual-core or better,  you could run Medium/High settings no problem.

If you need a problem with Ubuntu fixed right away, you should go to the official IRC chat room on the Freenode servers.  There is tons of people that are more than willing to help if you have a legitimate question to ask.  Here is a list of their servers taken from Freenode.net:

After you are successfully connected to the IRC server of your choosing, type /nick YourName and then /join #ubuntu – You may have to register your nickname on the Freenode servers (#ubuntu requires this), so type /msg NickServ Register YourPassword – If the name isn’t already taken you will have successfully registered your name and will be able to start chatting and asking for help with your problem.  Please read the rules and follow proper chat etiquette.

Firefox users should look into ChatZilla.  Or to connect to the Freenode IRC servers through your browser, use their web based Java Client.

It’s a good idea to make a copy of the original "menu.lst" in case you do something wrong by accident.  Type:

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.old

Ubuntu users, open up a Terminal window and type:

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Scroll down the file and you will find something that says  vga=791 or some other number.  Replace all instances of  vga=791 (or whatever it says) to vga=normal 

Make sure you change all of them or it may not work.

Save the file and reboot.  This should hopefully fix the problem!

With this handy little bash script, you can make a wallpaper collage of your favorite albums using the Last.fm (formally Audioscrobbler) service.  If you have a Last.fm account, then you already know you need some sort of plugin for your music player to list recently played tracks.  With the lastCollage script it takes all your recently played album covers and arranges them in a nifty collage, then saves it as an image file to add as your wallpaper.  I must say, it does a great job too.  It fades some covers, while making others more prominent.  It definitely has a collage feel to it.

Here’s a simple way to get it installed (from the lastCollage website) for Linux users:

mkdir lastCollage
cd lastCollage
wget http://ledazibao.free.fr/lastCollage/lastCollage
wget http://ledazibao.free.fr/lastCollage/parse_pictures.xsl
chmod a+x lastCollage

./lastCollage (To run the script)
** Ubuntu users should type sudo before all commands, exluding cd (just changes current directory).

To see how to change parameters and other stuff, head on over to the official site: lastCollage.
