Slashdot Mirror

Oh no!

Okay, in a last ditch attempt to save my favorite little program, I'm hereby kicking off a project to add mail reading capabilities to footguy.

Who's with me?

There's so much good electronic music from the 70's and 80's, like Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. Check them out! (Especially Nag! Nag! Nag! by Cabaret Voltaire)

Coil is a long time favorite. A good introduction would be the Unnatural History compilations and Time Machine. (Time Machine is _very_ ambient, and brilliantly simple.)

For the harder stuff, I'd listen to Skinny Puppy(Worlock and Tin Omen are classics), Frontline Assembly and Klinik.

And of course, one of the greatest bands ever, DAF (Deustsche Amerikanische Freundschaft.) Look for Der Mussolini, Verschwinde deine Jugend and Sex unter wasser on your favorite p2p network.

Meat Beat Manifesto is another brilliant band, once found on the brainwashed site. (A big "thank you" to the people who maintain that site.)

Please be careful dealing with this place. They would seem to be a tiny, potentially fly-by-night operation heavy on hype and short on products. As many have noticed, they're not exactly Linux geniuses, either... Sorry, don't mean to trash what may be a real product, but hyping this thing to 50,000 Slashdot users smells similar to when this guy hyped his stuff on the embedded-linux mailing list, forgetting to mention that he works for the company making them.

There's lots of people out there doing this- some can be found on the linux-embedded mailing list. I've been trying to get a small group together to work on embedded linux bootloaders, tools, etc. mail to eds@reric.net if you'd like to contribute.
