A life bar measures whether or not your performance is sufficent to pass the song and continue play.

It's been under heavy development for almost four years, and is now quite useable and featureful. from the developer : "I got tired of the rather low quality cable box that ATandT Broadband provides with their digital cable service. It's slow to change channels, ridden with ads, and the program guide is a joke. So, I figured it'd be fun to try and build a replacement. Yes, I could have just bought a TiVo, but I wanted to have more than just a PVR -- I want a webbrowser built in, a mail client, maybe some games.

This episode will cover every block of your hard drive with ddrescue, give you a window into the free and online chess community with Eboard and warp you back to the good old days of Battlechess with Brutal Chess I. system tools : Ddrescue GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors. Ddrescue does not truncate the output file if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file, it tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program, read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point. www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html II. games : eboard eboard is a chess interface for Unix-like systems (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.) based on the GTK+ GUI toolkit. It provides a chess board interface to ICS (Internet Chess Servers) like FICS and to chess engines like GNU Chess, Sjeng and Crafty. eboard is under development, and its primary purpose is serving as interface to FICS. eboard is Free Software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. eboard.sourceforge.net www.freechess.org III. the little extra : Brutal Chess The newest release of Brutal Chess is now available for public download just in time for Christmas (direct download link).

This episode will be very secure, so secure I can perfectly deny that it has ever been produced. Embrace Truecrypt ! Windows and Linux software for securing your data. Open Source of course. I. system tools : Truecrypt Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux Main Features: Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk. Encrypts an entire hard disk partition or a storage device such as USB flash drive. Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent. Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: 1) Hidden volume (steganography – more information may be found here). 2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data). Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish. Mode of operation: LRW (CBC supported as legacy). Conceived in 2003. www.truecrypt.org music from Melissa Forbes on music.podshow.com theme from Brand New Sin on music.podshow.com beer on this episode : Mort Subite Kriek Lambic

All GNU GPL software, for Unix, Linux, BSD, OSX and Microsoft Windows. I. graphical tools : Dia Dia is a gtk+ based diagram creation program released under the GPL license.
