Live gigs and geeky deeds

It all began when I was born.

Nice start, huh? But I will go on in a very different style.

Yesterday I went to the Exumer live show, On Stage club (in Athens, for all you non-greek readers who possibly don't exist - prove me otherwise with your comments :E). I knew very little about this band, so the main reason I went was because Convixion, a band some friends of mine have, was playing, first in line as well.

They φακινγκ rule, I must say.

Continuing this totally unbiased (as far as I can take it) review, I should note that they probably had the best sound of all 5 (or 6?) bands performing that evening. That was probably because Panos "Misdeal" and his experienced ear built-in-since birth device was behind the console taking over the sound. One of the very few thrash live shows that the guitars doesn't sound so "muddy" and "yoghurty". Their few new songs (which are yet to be recorded)such as "I come alive" are slightly better than the old ones in my opinion, more mature, more complex, and probably more fun! (allthough "Drink metal" might accompany them as their all-time classic until the end of times - maybe ALL times).

The rest of the bands were quite cool as well, less melodies around though (of course, it was a freakin' thrash metal gig). Exumer seemed to have let some of their fans dissapointed, but also left most of them with bruises and great memories of boots and the ooze-covered wooden floor approaching their face at quite a rate

The end (of the "review")

...but The Beggining of today's good deeds:

AT around 19:00 pm, greek Ubuntu users, with almost no idea of one for another, are gathering in Monastiraki to celebrate the new Ubuntu Linux release, called "Jaunty Jackalope" (v. 9.04), while eating wonderful souvlaki.

Later this evening, I'm definitely going to another gig, "Sad Lovers And Giants" (well-known new/dark wave band), in Gagarin543958can'trememberthenumber live stage.

Maybe i'll post a review about that one as well.

Goodbye, till our next meeting.

Amiga Kickstart Roms (Tosec v.0.04)

It recently reoccured me, this retroxperience feeling that makes me want to bath among bits and bytes of the past. Amiga 500 was my first computer and anyone who once owned an Amiga knows it stays with you. Forever.

So, for anyone who's been looking for these, here they are, the kickstart roms for use with any Amiga emulator (winUAE is my favourite in Windows, haven't tried one in Linux yet)!
