There is a new version of Teewars! 0.4.2 with lots of bug fixes.

Get it at http://www.teeworlds.com/ (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Fast-paced sidescrolling multiplayer-only shoot ‘em up computer game. The game features cartoon-themed graphics and physics, and relies heavily on classic shooter weaponry and gameplay. The controls are heavily inspired by the FPS genre of computer games.

Just got myself a Slice256 at slicehost.

slice256 - 20$/month - 256 ram, 10GB space, 100GB Bandwidth

Some Features:

Full root access and rebooting
Choice of Linux distro
Dedicated IP address and Tier-1 redundant bandwidth
Reserved RAM

Slicehost is a VPS ( Virtual Private Server ) provider, where you can have full control of your “server”.

These servers are virtual, and to do that they use Xen to virtualize the machines in their Quad-core servers.

I needed a server for personal and work related issues, and a dedicated server is just to expensive.

I’ll tell you my thoughts when I do some more tests

Get your Slice today

( And give me a help :p )

Is the mirror that you use daily down ?

To select another mirror just:

System -> Administration -> Synaptic - Settings - Repositories - DOWNLOAD FROM

And choose from the list.

Some time ago, Novell released a new version of their odf-converter, that allows you to open OpenXML files (docx, xlsx, pptx) in OpenOffice 2.X.

I know that OO.o 2.3 opens docx files already, but this plugin gives better support to that “format” for does who need to open it.

I’ve created a .deb to install in Ubuntu, you can get it HERE (32bits)

*Updated package, I had uploaded the wrong one, sorry*

Hope it helps.
