Michal Pustejovsky showed me an ubuntu brach UBUNTU STUDIO I never heard of, full of multimedia tools. As an “artist”what ever I ‘m who is interested in and work with sound, video, etc. I was curious how far I can go with the linux and if I’ll be able to get rid of the Windows and Mac os( I know again ;) ). I’m not going to write here list of all software it has if you like to know more you can always check the Ubuntu studio homesite.
Looking for the right source of download-able installation I found out that most of the links are dead or work-less at this time. I think it’s a pretty well done linux with bunch of useful programs for media artists & it’ll be pity if you guys end up on 404 error page. If you’ll end up there come back here and download the Studio from this link (ubuntustudio-7.04-alternate-i386.iso). It lies on pretty stable and fast server. Don’t worry I’ll keep it there for reasonable time.

update:..new ubuntu studio version is up, check it out here. ..I’m curious if it solves problems with parallel sounds ;) btw my attempt of update from 7.04 wasn’t really successful. It deleted all important thing such as jack(audio) and so on…and mes up the hard drive. Better reinstall it from scratch.

Cyklojizdy are Czech branch of worldwide movement Critical Mass where people want to show their disapproval with global car trend. Cities are crowded by cars and the air is unbreathable not speaking about consequences such as global warming.
Like a everyday biker I see only cars on me way, there are just a few bikers most of them are messengers though. People don’t ride bike because is “danger” and because they don’t want to breathe this dirty air, they rather take their car because it’s “safe” and they don’t have to breathe the scum. This easy consideration turn aside the fact that they are the actual scum producer and they will not help that way the situation whatsoever.

Help us clean the city out of unnecessary dirt produced and join the graceful ride on 22 September.
Starting position is on Staromestke namesti at 3PM.

For those who live in Prague and understand Czech language here is a call-up.You can help with your vote and hopefully improve the situation.

I totally forget to mention LAB YOU event running in NoD space. My friend KOKO invited me there. So if you like to try some of my skirts you have a chance till the end of August.
Once I’m here writing this post then I must say a word about Cosplay. I guess you know it already. Thinking about Prague fashion “underground” is good to put them up both on the same table and compare them. If you check just a bit the Cosplay (cosornot) and know what’s going on in Prague (maybe Europe generally) then those waves are almost incomparable. It’s a question why they could wear such a things and the average people are able to handle it. I thing it’s because the social culture there (Tokyo and so)is bit more advanced.
I don’t have personal experience though, hope I will soon ;)

Couple weeks ago I became to be part of the Group called OUTPUT. OUTPUT begun as a Gabina’s project and then later transformed into a bigger one with more people behind it. The crew is Gabriela Jurkovicova, me, Erik Sikora & last but not least Blanka Cermakova who plays important role for us.
Our current project METRO/POLE was canceled due the shaky circumstances, but we are breezy and stronger then ever before heading to new project DEZERT.
Anyway the main news is the OUTPUT website is up and we are collecting projects and cleaning up our thoughts. Check out the website if you like to know more.
One thing I ought to mentione, the website is mainly in Czech language now…. don’t wary will translate it soon ;)
