This is an important blog post, and everyone should read it and think about it. That includes you, who is already tempted to skip over this blog post and read bash.org. Shame on you. Think of the children…. The whole ethos behind Jokosher is about making music production simple with Open Source, but part of [...]

Internet people, meet Pepper, Pepper, meet the Internet people: This is our new mini long-haired dachshund, Pepper. My other half, Sooz, has set up a new community that tracks the fun and games of our two pups, Frankie and Pepper. Go and see mydoxiearmy. See this post for details of how we got him and [...]

I just upgraded my main computer to Edgy. I have been running it for some time on my development laptop, but now my main box is up and running. It feels like a good solid release, and well done to the army of contributors who made it happen. Like anyone, I have my favourite applications, [...]

When we started the Jokosher project, we wanted it to kick arse and take names when it came to usability, but also attractiveness. This is why my-friend-and-yours J5 is displayed in the New Project dialog, and why we have spent a lot of time on making Jokosher look attractive, yet neat. Dialog design is essential [...]
