cartoon ninja

Poor ninja, unemployed (for the demand for assassinations has vanished). Now ninja is a janitor, working in the dark, flipping and maneuvering as trained, as desired, in solitude (working lonely graveyards creates cushion between ninja’s killer instinct and civilian meekness). One night while shadowing back to his lair, fly-floating as phantoms do, thru the streets & trees, the ninja notices a damsel in distress (breaking ninja’s stoic indifference for the 1st time). Ninja instantly and quickly disposes… without mercy. The savagery was over, her tears flowed no more, her eyes lit-up bright with life. Ninja becomes inspired to use the shadows for justice, fighting crime as heroes do, that is until crime ceased at night and continued only by day. Damn success. Now again, the ninja is a janitor, only now he glows.

DNS request are usually cache, that’s good as it speeds up the lookups within the same host but sometimes we will want to clear the cache so it don’t hold the values that are no longer valid. To do that in Mac (OS Tiger and below) we used the following command:

lookupd -flushcache

However a Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard user will tell you this command did not work on their terminal. In Leopard a new command has been used to replace flushcache, so to clear DNS cache in Leopard, just type this in your Terminal and hit enter.

dscacheutil -flushcache

Jimena Navarrete Rosete (born February 22, 1988) is a Mexican beauty pageant titleholder and Miss Universe 2010.

Born and raised in Guadalajara, Navarrete studied nutrition prior to her participation in beauty pageants. She was crowned Nuestra Belleza Jalisco on July 16, 2009 in her hometown, and subsequently, she won the national title of Nuestra Belleza México as well, besting thirty-three other contestants during the 16th edition of that event, held September 20, 2009 in Mérida, Yucatán. That night, Navarrete became the second consecutive winner from Jalisco, following Karla Carrillo, the outgoing titleholder and a close friend who encouraged her to participate in the pageant.

Wednesday afternoon the celebrations of tafalla 2010 will be etched in the mind for many and especially for the 10 year old boy wounded 40 more serious injuries that occurred after the spectacular bull jump at that time was due fight in the bullring tafalla.

This is the news. In my opinion, beyond the cultural roots of the town of Tafalla, these games with animals are degrading our human condition.

Chillout Point blog has published an article with images of paintings by Steve Hanks.

No doubt Steve’s work is related to women.
In the pictures we can see where the beauty of women is enhanced by its surroundings.
The sensuality and realism of his paintings is admirable.

From the collection published in Spirit and Essence of Women in The Paintings my favorite is the following, for further invite the reader to read the full post.

Music-loving Linux users will be happy to know that Canonical announced today the official launch of the Ubuntu One Music Store public beta.

Like the iTunes Store and the Zune Marketplace, the Music Store will let users purchase and download songs and albums from a wide selection.

The Ubuntu One store is powered by 7digital, an online music distributor that offers over four million DRM-free songs in the MP3 format (at bit rates starting at 256 KBps). Canonical and 7digital have developed software that allows the Music Store to integrate with the Ubuntu One cloud service and the Rhythmbox music-management app.

Each song in the store lets you listen to a 60-second preview that you can stream directly in Rhythmbox. Payment options for purchasing songs include credit card and PayPal. Songs or albums you purchase are downloaded into your Ubuntu One storage area, and can thus be accessed from any computer you have set up to use it. You can also use the Ubuntu One Web interface to download songs from other systems.

Unsurprisingly, the Ubuntu One Music Store’s selection isn’t as extensive as what you can get from the larger stores, and it may also vary between geographic regions (different stores exist for the U.K., the U.S., Germany, the rest of the Europe, and other parts of the world). As with services like Spotify, international restrictions will apply, so all the stores may not be created equal.

A few aspects of the Music Store may present difficulties for some users. An agreement with the music labels limits the number of times you can download any song to three. Songs you purchase count against your Ubuntu One file sync capacity, so if you use the lowest 2GB level, you may run out of capacity before you get all the music you want. (You can move the file out of your synchronization area, however.) Another issue is that the default installation of Ubuntu doesn’t natively support MP3 playback; you’ll need to install an additional package with a licensed MP3 codec for GNOME’s GStreamer multimedia framework. (You’ll be prompted to do this if necessary when you first try to access the store.) If you already have a 7digital account, you can’t merge it with your Ubuntu One account.

Because the Music Store was developed as a plug-in, you don’t have to use Rhythmbox to access it—according to the Music Store’s FAQ, it will also show up in Amarok, Banshee, and other applications. The Music Store should not interfere with Jamendo or Magnatune, which provide access to Creative Commonsand open-licensed songs.

The Ubuntu One Music Store was not included in the earliest public betas of Ubuntu 10.04 (“Lucid Lynx”), which was released in beta last Friday, but will be when the final version of the software is released next month. According to techie-buzz.com, if you are using the beta you can enable the Music Store by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store

And then enabling it from Edit > Plugins.
