Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted. And there’s _loads_ of things I could say, but I’ll make do with a few catch ups:

• New phone - got myself a Nokia 6500 Slide phone on a contract from Orange, after my previous phone (an aging Motorola V220) lost the ability to put sound through the earpiece. First impressions of the new phone are good, although the keys feel quite small at times. And the preinstalled Golf Tour game is really addictive!
• Severed Fifth, which I have blogged about before finally released their debut album, Denied by Reign. If you’re into chugging heavy metal, then you might like it, although, in a weird twist, I find that some of the “clean” vocals sound a bit weird.
• Ubuntu have released their 8.10 edition, the Intrepid Ibex release. Came out yesterday - get it while it’s hot (or wait a couple of weeks for the servers to cool down, and initial bugfixes to be released )
• Classic Yak continues to chug along nicely. Episode 4 came out last Monday (just). We’re getting about 60-ish downloads for most of the episodes, which is not too bad. And the editing quality is getting better. Mostly
• Heather and I continue on the Invest course. But more of that to come at a later date.
• I’m finally getting round to building the relatively huge Django project that is the church website. Also more of that when there are things to actually see in production

That’s probably enough for now.

There’s a small games studio in the UK called Introversion Software who have, over the past couple of years, quietly produced some of the most interesting games around. Moreover, their games all run not just on Windows, but Mac and (most importantly) Linux. There are 3 titles in their history, Uplink, Darwinia and Defcon (you can buy all 3 for only £20 for the download edition at the moment, or £10 for Uplink on its own). I have, in fact, talked about Uplink and Darwinia before.

Anyway, enough of the blurb. I got hold of a copy of Uplink the other day, and was a little concerned about how difficult it would be to install under Ubuntu Hardy. I needn’t have worried - it was so easy. But I thought it would be best to lay out how I did it for Google to find. All of this info can also be found on the Uplink Forums which are still active.

How to do it:

1. Download the latest patch. I used the Loki installer version of 1.55 (get it here) but it’s probably worth checking the Patch forum in case there’s a new release out
2. Run the installer - sudo sh uplink-patch-1.55.sh which installs the patch to /usr/local/games/uplink although you can install it to your home directory if you like.
3. Pop in the CD, and unzip the linux version somewhere convenient ( unzip /media/cdrom/linux/uplink.zip )
4. Copy the .dat files into the /usr/local/games/uplink/lib folder. ( cp *.dat /usr/local/games/uplink/lib )
5. Profit!

Once you’ve done all that, you should be able to run uplink just by typing uplink from the command line, or clicking Applications -> Other -> uplink.

Hope that helps someone enjoy the game as much as I do.

OK - it’s been a bit late coming, but I thought I really ought to pen some words about LRL this year.

This was originally billed as the end of LugRadio. However, while the podcast has now finished, it was announced at the event that there will be an LRL 2009, which is brilliant. The only downside was that it meant that I completely failed to mourn the passing of LR properly.

If I was to sum up this years event in one word, it would be FUN. This was the most fun I have had in a long time. Not that the other LRLs weren’t fun (quite the contrary), just that this year was, well, “funner”.

I didn’t get to many talks this year, but I was involved in a fair few bits and pieces. The only talk I saw was Bruno’s “Baguette on Snails” talk, which was, as expected, hilarious, but also conveyed a serious point. I did my own talk on Saturday afternoon, which went well, and seemed to get some good response. I also got commissioned into the “Mass Debate” on Sunday afternoon - sitting on the stage with Jeremy Allison, Matthew Garrett and Max Spevack was, I admit, a little daunting. While they probably wouldn’t see it, I would regard them as “celebrities” of the open source world, and I felt a little, well, insignificant beside them. I managed to say some stuff - hopefully it was insightful

My main occupation during the weekend was to stroll around while dressed in a large chinny raccoon suit. It was swelteringly hot, but I had a brilliant time. It was like being Mickey Mouse at Disneyland. I was originally worried that it would be a 1 joke wonder, but it seemed to be immensely popular with everyone, and I got my photo taken loads. Oh, and got involved in a little stunt during Neuro’s talk

Socially, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights were all great. The Karaoke on Saturday night was much better than I expected, and everyone seemed to have a good time.

I suppose I had better say a quick word about the Gong-a-Thong Lightbulb Talk Extravaganza this year, mostly because I ended up presenting it. I’d say that I would leave it to your imagination, but there are enough photos on the internet should you wish to corrupt your innocent young minds. There isn’t a proper explanation for this bizarre aberration in my otherwise normal behaviour, other than I was asked on the Thursday before, and agreed when it became obvious that they needed someone and it would require a hero to step forward. And I guess that’s the ultimate thing - the LR community has always made me _feel_ like a hero. The fact that it was, apparently, the funniest one ever (sorry Drinky and Aaron) was an added bonus. Oh, and the raccoon puppet on the front was there for additional coverage - the large, furry, stripey penis effect was just an added bonus.

A few thankyous need to go in here too - a number of people really made the weekend work for me:

• Heather - for letting me go in the first place.
• neuro - for driving me there and back
• Jono - for letting me sleep on his sofa/floor over the weekend
• MrsRon - for giving the crew breakfast and lunch
• Steph (aka babyRon) - for helping me in and out of my costume, and keeping me hydrated through the day
• Xalior - for buying the Chinnysuit, and helping out with the display stuff

(Hopefully I’ve not missed anyone)

Roll on LRL 2009

mrBen

I’ve been a long time user of the irssi IRC client, and for a while now I’ve been wondering if I could log all my private messages without having to log all the channel history as well. I log all my instant messaging in Pidgin, because it often has useful information that I want to check back for, but I’ve lost a lot of stuff by not having logging in irssi.

So here’s how you do it, in 2 simple commands:

/set autolog on
/set autolog_level MSGS -crap -clientcrap -ctcps


This will set up a log structure something like this:
~/irclogs/<network>/<nick>.log
for instance ~/irclogs/freenode/mrben.log if I had PMed you on the Freenode network (where I hang out).

Anyway - I thought this was really useful, and not as easy to find on Google as it should have been. Enjoy.

mrBen

OK, so I’m a bit late blogging about this, but I wanted to do justice to the subject. Other people have written great posts on their blogs (not least Jono, Aq and Adam from the presenting team, and community luminaries kNo and davee) but I felt that I had to add something of my own.

Jono phoned me on the Thursday night before the release (which luckily meant I found out before I went on holiday, rather than a week after the show was released). LugRadio was finishing. I have to admit, I was quite choked up on the train home - it was as if someone close to me had died. I know that sounds melodramatic, but you have to understand that LugRadio has been a huge part of my life over the last 4.5 years. I’ve contributed (to date) 3193 posts to the forum, or over 2 posts a day for every day between March 10th 2004 (when I joined the forums) and today.

I’m not saying this to make me sound good. But the LugRadio community has been a real home for me over the last few years. And it’s been a community where I have become (rightly or wrongly) known and (dis)respected. I know that the community will not die, but I think it will become a very different place when the show stops being released.

So, for me at least, it is the end of an era. LugRadio has, to all intents and purposes, changed my life in many ways. Having that end is an extremely sad thing for me, but at least we have LRL in 10 days (10!) to celebrate everything that LR has become known for and done.

mrBen

[Footnote] I completely understand the reasons for the team stopping the show. I don’t blame them at all, or hold any grudge. This wasn’t supposed to be a moan - hopefully you won’t read it as such.

Now that it’s been formally announced, I can confirm that I will be speaking at this year’s LugRadio Live UK

This is going to be a new thing for me. I’m going to be pulling together a lot of my thoughts on the future of Linux, user support and advocacy and I’m more than a little nervous. Still - hope to see you there

mrBen

(Oh, and Digg It too)

My last post (Inoffensive Advocacy) made it in as a segment on the most recent episode of LugRadio. Hurrah!

(Apologies to the Planet LugRadio folk, who will already know this )

mrBen

This morning I had a really long and interesting conversation with Aq on IRC. One of the ideas I was discussing with him was using technology to cleverly, and inoffensively, promote Free software within Linux. (For those of you who haven’t listened to the latest episode of LugRadio, Aq had been bemoaning the continuing issue of people who use Linux but aren’t necessarily using or interested in the concepts of Free Software as a whole - but more on that another time).

A good example of what I am talking about is the Restricted Drivers manager in Ubuntu. If Ubuntu has to install proprietary drivers during installation, most likely either for a graphics card, or a wifi card, then it pops up this box to inform you that it has done so. There are 3 points to note with this dialog:

1. It still works - it’s not forcing you not to use them (unobtrusive)
2. It informs - it gives you the reason _why_ proprietary drivers are bad (informative)
3. It only appears _if_ you have the (in)appropriate hardware (relevant)

I think we could use similar prompts for other areas, and one area I thought might be good would be the area of closed media formats. (I have talked a bit about this in the past - I’m not going to go into the reasons why closed media formats are bad here, but a good starting point if you’re interested would be this video about DRM (although DRM != closed formats, it’s still a hot topic ))

Thus, I propose an additional script to go into Linux that works in the following way:

1. When you plug in your media player (iPod, iRiver, Archos, some random Korean player, whatever), as part of the auto-detection it scans a database of media players to discover if it has support for Ogg Vorbis
2. If Yes, then it pops up a window (see below) confirming that Ogg is supported, and offering to convert any existing media folders from MP3 to Ogg, while giving a reason why this is a preferred option.
3. If No, then it just does the normal operations for when you plugin a media player

Note that the box has a “Never ask again for this device” option, so that it doesn’t nag you - the idea is that, like the restricted drivers manager, you only ever see this box once (per device). It also fulfills the 3 points I gave above - unobtrusive, informative, and relevant.

The table view is supposed to contain a list of folders which contain MP3 files (or other proprietary formats) and checkboxes for you to select if you want to convert them.

[edit]Oops - the image is a bit wide for my theme. Click on it to see the full thing[/edit]

Also note that this is just a mockup - there are probably a few things that could be improved upon/changed. But hopefully you get the idea.

mrBen

I’ve talked about support before. And I’ve had an idea for helping people who (in particular on forums) try to provide useful support. The guys over at the Ubuntu UK Podcast were talking about the CLI vs GUI on their latest show, so I thought I’d share the idea.

The idea is, essentially, to provide an easy web interface to a big library of animated GIFs (yes - it could be videos, but GIFs are easier to embed into a forum). These GIFs would be short clips of clicking on menus and opening the various applications and settings dialogues available in Ubuntu (or your system of choice).

My plan was to build it in Django, because it, by default, has good handling of urls. So to embed a GIF of someone clicking on, say, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard, you would just embed http://www.ubuntugif/system/preferences/keyboard/ and Hey Presto! I think some would also just be images of the dialogue boxes without animation, too.

The hope would be that, because the syntax is so simple, people wouldn’t have to think about it when putting it into a support forum, and people reading the forum would be able to see actually what is supposed to happen.

So - I guess I might get around to building this at some point. If you’re interested in the project, please let me know either in the comments or via IRC

For the last 3 years now, I’ve endeavoured to relisten to the entire back catalogue of LugRadio episodes in the run up to the awesome LugRadio Live. Last year, I got caught a bit short, but I wrote a little program to keep track of my listening.

This year, I’ve started a lot earlier (144 days to go), but I thought I should add something to the script. So I’ve included listening times to it. Hurrah. Or Something.

Enjoy!

Notes:

1. The % are still based on number of shows, not on listening times. So sue me.
2. The code for the original is still at http://mrben.jedimoose.org/listener.html - when I get around to it I’ll post the updated code (which is even uglier

mrBen

* Apparently this analogy is not, and has never been, accurate.

Those of you at LugRadio Live last year, or who read my review may remember the quiz software that I wrote for it, which did a dual screen setup, and used the Namtai Buzz! controllers for the buzzers.

Anyway - I’ve finally got around to releasing the code into the wild, under the GPL, using launchpad. You can get it here.

(Hopefully someone talented will finish it )

mrBen

Every now and then I feel the need to put up a post purely because it took me ages to find a solution to something online, and I reckon that it might save the next person a bit of time. Apologies to the regular reader for the purely functional nature of this post

The Background
Linux (or specifically Ubuntu) uses a neat program called Network Manager to manage all the network connections. It’s taken a while for it to get there, but I personally think it’s pretty good. It remembers the details of my home wifi network perfectly, and seems to have a better time connecting than the ‘IBM Access Connections’ program that came preinstalled on the Windows half of my work laptop. However, in my case it took it’s trick of remembering stuff too far.

The Problem
I setup my new Linksys router with WPA2 encryption, which works fine under Linux. Sadly, Windows XP doesn’t come installed with this by default (at least, teh wifes laptop didn’t have it as an option). Rather than faffing about with Windows Updates, I thought it would be easier to change it to standard WPA encryption - took about 30 seconds in the Linksys control panel. However, NetworkManager insisted on continuing to try and connect with WPA2, which doesn’t work. In order to connect to the network, I needed to use the “Manual Configuration” option, which wasn’t ideal.

The Solution
One solution would have been to rename the ESSID on my wifi, but I didn’t want to do that, really. There is, however, a better way. NetworkManager stores all it’s data in “gconf” the registry-like component of gnome. Fire up gconf-editor, and navigate to /system/networking/wireless/networks/. All your saved wireless network details are in there. You can then either delete the entry, or, as I did, edit the wpa_psk_wpa_version from 4 to 2 (if you did the same thing as me in the first place). Problem solved.

mrBen

Dear Lazyweb….

Following from my previous post about my projects for the year, I could do with some help on identify the most suitable backup solution.

The setup is that there are a number of Windows clients, and a Linux server (probably with software RAID running a mirror setup over 2 drives, allowing for drive failure). The Windows machines may or may not be on the network at specific times (because they’re either laptops, or they’re powered down), and as there is no on-site sysadmin there is also no guarantee that there will be 100% (or 99.999% for that matter) uptime for the file server either. I want to backup important files from the Windows clients to the Linux machine in the most seamless, transparent (for the end user) way.

Originally I had set my heart on iFolder, which would allow me to simply set up “My Documents” on each client as an iFolder, and they would synchonise whenever both client and server are on the network. However, although iFolder is a fantastic piece of software, the project seems a bit dead in the water, and thus I’m not sure I want it in a production environment (plus there aren’t any Ubuntu or Debian packages for it, so I’d need to run CentOS, which I’m less familiar with).

So, I’m stuck for a decent solution. Ideally, as I say, I want it as transparent as possible - I could setup network drives with Samba (in fact, I had it this way in a previous incarnation), but that is not particularly transparent, and would require me (ideally) to setup all the users on the fileserver so that Windows will log in to the drive automagically. Plus, I’d still need some sort of client running to do the backing up, and I would still end up with the problem of it needing to be done on an “adhoc” basis, rather than a schedule.

Any thoughts?

mrBen

LugRadio Season 5 hits the internet today, with a new website design, and 2 new presenters. Looking forward to another season of insightful commentary (or perhaps an “endless stream of sub-par knob gags”) on Linux, Open Source, the Global Intarweb and other such geekery.

mrBen

Thought it was probably time that I laid out some of my initial thoughts of the Nokia N800 that I won at LugRadio Live. I don’t have any pictures / screenshots at the moment, but I promise I’ll get some up soon.

Background

It’s possible that I get some of these technical details a bit wrong - apologies in advance
The Nokia N800 is an “internet tablet” - it’s not a mobile phone, or a PDA. If anything, it’s more like a very small laptop. It runs on Linux, using the Hildon desktop, based on Gtk. It has built in wifi and bluetooth, and a beautiful screen. It even has stereo speakers. It has 2 SD Card slots, now compatible with SD cards up to 8GB in size. I believe both of these are hot-swappable. It comes with a web browser, googletalk for IM, and video conferencing with the built-in webcam, plus a media player, and a few other apps. It supports input via a stylus, or using your finger. It connects to your PC via USB, but doesn’t have any syncing software, nor does it charge over USB. There is a stereo headphone jack that also supports a headphone+microphone set on a single jack.

Some Thoughts

The screen is beautiful. It really is. It’s really crisp and bright. The wifi is good quality, and it has become my tool of choice for small bits of web surfing while at home. The clever bit of software that detects if you’re using the stylus or your thumb and displays different menus/keyboard is an inspired piece of work, although if I was doing a lot of typing I’d probably need to get some sort of bluetooth keyboard.
Being basically a Linux PC makes this a massively versatile device. There is tonnes of software available, and most of it is free. I have a few good tidbits installed:

• Maemo Mapper - a free bit of mapping software that can download maps from various sources, including Google Maps and Open Streetmap. If I had a bluetooth GPS and the flite voice software, it could even be a sat nav unit.
• SCUMMVM - for playing old LucasArts games. Great fun! (I am most of the way through Flight of the Amazon Queen thanks to my commute
• Terminal/SSH - surprisingly useful
• AisleRiot - Solitaire with knobs on

There are, however, 3 big things I dislike about the device:

• The N800’s predecessor, the N770, had a hard cover to protect it - the N800 only has a little cloth sleeve which, while being some protection from scratches, etc, wouldn’t stop the screen getting cracked in an impact.
• The battery life is quite poor - even on my short commute usage, in standby for the rest of the day and night, I probably need to charge every 1.5 days. This is very dependent on how much you use wireless, I believe. And it has got better with the latest firmware. However, it’s really a problem considering that:
• You can’t charge the device through the USB port. This was a real plus of my previous media player. Being able to plug in at work (plugging in non-tested devices to the main sockets is prohibited) was a great benefit.

The other thing that I need to get sorted out is Bluetooth networking - the N800 doesn’t support the wireless setup at work, so I’d like to be able to connect through the bluetooth on my laptop, but this is not part of the default setup, which is a shame.

All-in-all, this is an amazing little device. I have lots of things I still want to try on it (installing Django, play with GPS, install a calendar and syncing, etc), but I think it will be a faithful friend for a long while.

mrBen

As regular readers of my blog will know, I wasn’t expecting to be able to attend LRL this year, but, through the extreme generosity of a number of people (you know who you are) I was. No regrets

I’ve left writing this post for a number of days, to let the tiredness wear off, to (hopefully) write a decent, balanced review of the weekend. I’ll take you through what I did, and then comment on the pros and cons and then come to some conclusions for next year.

What I Did

Friday

We (neuro, Essk, Xalior and I) left my house at around 1000, with me having worked solid from 0600, and already tired We made good time down the M74/M6 and hit Tebay early for a nice lunch. Then we hit the massive tailback on the M6, which was evil, and held us up for _ages_ and we finally arrived at the Quality Chin for about 1700. I was staying elsewhere, and had to wait around for Aq to come and pick me up, so I snuck in a couple of quick pints while watching a bit of tennis and footy in the QC bar.

After a bit of pizza, and a bit of lugging kit into Jono’s house, we headed off to the Hogshead for the pre-LRL party. This was massively busy, which is always good to see, and I managed to chat with quite a few folk, as well as pick up the game that I one from GamerTag Radio (namely Ankh: Heart of Osiris). Oh, and I drunk some beer, much of which was free as in beer.

A quick kebab on the way home and then a cup of tea before falling into bed far too late

Saturday

Up at 6am to load the van and head down to the venue for 7.30am, to be met by the horde of crew (of which I was one) to setup the venue in time for the doors opening at 10am. Fuelled by bacon sarnies (thanks BigRon and babyron!) the crew worked like a well oiled machine, and the huge swag bags were filled, the chairs put out, and badges cut and folded and everything was done.
After the intro, I headed into Ted Haegars talk on the Bungee development stuff. Looks pretty cool, although I’m not convinced it’s something I’d ever use (sorry, Ted), but Ted is always good to listen to. Then I ran upstairs and caught the end of the Bazaar talk, and Laszlo’s Jokosher talk, which was hugely entertaining.
At lunch, Xalior once again stepped up to the community plate, and forked out for pizzas for the #lugradio faithful, along with Kat’s lovely cakes I think next year we need to be a bit more organised about this, although I’m not sure how best to sort it, particularly with so many of the #lr people on the crew.
After lunch was the scary ‘Adam Sweets Gong-a-thong Lightbulb Talk Extravaganza’ which involved Adam Sweet, in a thong, with a gong, compering 3 minute talks. I gave a quick talk on LinkPot, which seems to be gathering momentum, but I wished I’d thought more about what I was going to say, as I could’ve filled the time better. Then I ran up to find I’d missed Elleo’s SabreGL talk, which was a shame, so I ran back down for the rest of the lightbulb talks.
At 1500 I went into the Mass Debate in the main talk room - this was a great venue for this, and I really enjoyed the debate this year - the previous 2 years I haven’t really got into it. After that there was a choice of 4 things I wanted to see, but I was really tired, so I missed all of them….
The (formal) part of the day ended with LugRadio Live and Unleashed, which was great fun, not least because I managed (to my enormous surprise) to be named Community Hero again, winning myself a (very shiny) Nokia N800 (more on that in future posts….), a hazmat suit (don’t ask) and an oil painting of the Chinny Raccoon, painted by the very talented Chris Hayes (who also did the LinkPot graphics). I feel both enormous pride, and a certain amount of guilt, at being name CH again. I hope that I can do enough in the next 12 months for people to feel that I deserve it, and that the community is a better place.
Afterwards we cleared the hall (and played with the N800) then picked up pizza before the evening par-tay. I feel it was a little quieter than last year - without the same vibe - although that may have been an indication of my physical state at the time Left at 1230 to go to bed.

Sunday

Began much as Saturday, with the crew setting up. I had realised on the Saturday that I had forgotten to locate the sound clips that I needed for the comedy buzzers on the quiz software I had written for Bruno for the quiz later on that afternoon, so I secreted myself in a corner for 90 minutes while I trawled through lugradio episodes for the right bits. Then I managed to catch a bit of Becky Hogge’s talk before lunch.
After lunch I caught a bit of Gerv’s talk, but I really need to see the whole thing Then I got everything ready for the Quiz. Amazingly, the Quiz software seemed to work fine, and we had some good fun - Bruno hosted, while the LugRadio and Hashlugradio crews faced off. The HLR folks won by a whisker, although it was a close run thing. It was difficult to concentrate on the audience reaction, what with worrying about the software and trying to compete, but people said it was good afterwards. (Source code for the quiz stuff will be available soon)
And then it was over.

Except for the (now) traditional post-LRL community party, at the QC. This was great fun, as always, and a group of us regailed each other with quality (and not so quality) jokes, and we got in a quick game of Hungry Hippos before going to bed.

Conclusions

Positives

• The new venue was excellent. Admittedly the atrium was problematic (see Negatives), but the main talk and lightning talk rooms were top notch, and I felt the exhibition area was probably better placed than last year.
• Top names, top talks. I felt like I saw more this year, but there was still a huge amount to choose from, and some really wide and varied topics.
• The community remains as wonderful as ever - a great bunch of folk that I really wish I had more time to spend with
• I won an N800!
• I felt the Live and Unleashed was good this year - it’s a tricky thing to do, because you’re trying to record a show for people to listen to, while at the same time fit in a lot of prizegiving-type stuff, and audience interaction. Very glad they sorted out a radio mike this year
• The crew were fantastic this year. And I felt like people were really able to help out, and feel useful at the event. Last year I was very much sorting out what I could with the Lan Gaming, and didn’t really feel like I had contributed, but this year I felt that I had been useful, and played a part in making the event a success.
• The quiz software worked! I was really nervous that something would go wrong, and, apart from a single crash :(, everything went smoothly.
• Top quality swag bags (aka “LRL Nutsacks”)

Negatives

• The price of beer. Both in the Quality Chin, and in the venue, the price and selection of beer left much to be desired. Plus the promised cafe at the venue decided not to serve food
• The Saturday night was a little flat for me this year, although that might just be me. Plus I forget to get Hungry Hippos out of neuro’s car
• The atrium at the venue has challenges in both lighting and acoustics. It’s a very echoey room, with huge skylights that made the projector a bit useless. However, I believe these can be overcome for next year.
• The exhibition was a bit quiet this year - I hope that they did well enough to feel it was worthwhile, and maybe persuade others to come next year, although I can imagine it’s a tricky event to ’sell’ to some organisations.

Summary

LRL was better than ever this year. Yes, there are things that could be improved. But that just means that next year will be even better My biggest fear is that the arrival of LRL US (”Sworn in the USA”) may mean that some of the big names from the States won’t bother travelling to the UK for the “main event”. But there are still plenty of big names in Europe who would come, I guess.
My hope is that I can find time during this year to think more constructively about LRL 2008. One of the negative comments I saw on another blog was about the amount of stuff that seemed aimed at the “inner circle” of fans (those who participate in IRC and the forums I think) and I want to think of ways to improve that.

mrBen

Back on May 8th I began my LugRadio listening marathon. Well - 49 days and 80 shows later, and I’m finished (apart from the to-be-released-on-Monday Season 4 Episode 22). It’s been an interesting experience, cramming it all in in such a short space of time, but I’ve enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.

Roll on LugRadio Live (10 days and counting)

LugRadio Live 2007: be there!

Following on from their first video, Freedom March, the LugRadio team have released this second promotional, “viral” video, which is a bit less serious Enjoy.

mrBen

In what is, frankly, a surprisingly sober and thought provoking video, “Freedom March”, the 4 large gents of LugRadio have announced that the registrations for LugRadio Live are open here.

You should be coming, really. (Ya Rly)
