More from the Banshee Universe
At around 4 this morning I released Banshee 0.10.9, which encompasses some excellent changes.
Changing process name in Mono
Banshee 0.10.5 supports changing the process name from "mono" to "banshee" using the prctl call. This makes "killall banshee" work. While this is nothing to marvel over, I have been a little taken aback by the amount of inquiry over this feature. In the past few days, a large number of people have asked me, "how did you do this." Here's a brief description of "how."
F-Spot, Server Monitoring, ASP.NET, and Crazy Dancing
Today I relaxed a little bit and decided to organize ~/Photos, which has been an all purpose photo dumping grounds for the last year or so. I don't take many photos, mainly because I have a horrible 2MP camera with awful focus and lighting, so I only had about 400 photos to organize. I built F-Spot for the first time today, and am extremely impressed. However, I did this after manually cropping and rotating about 80 photos using The Gimp. I am extremely impressed with F-Spot - it makes me even more inclined to finally purchase a nice camera.
