Linux Mint: Testing The Mint-Y Theme

So, I tested the newest Linux Mint theme on my beloved T430...
It looks like shit, but that's -I'm pretty sure of it- because I'm running versions from halcyon days...
The theme is available, as beta, of course, on its Github page: Linux Mint Mint-y-Theme

Give us a reading on the 1202 Program Alarm

Last Saturday finished Beevor's "Ardennes".
Started right away with "Digital Apollo", which was in the waiting for a while now.
I simply love it so far (I'm about 15% onto it).
Chapter 2; Chauffeurs and Airmen in the Age of Systems, looks like an addendum to "The Right Stuff".

Berlin Or Bust (Sort of...) (II)

I'm amazed at the amount of information that the book has. About 10% read so far, and maybe I haven't read an Anthony Beevor book lately, but, by Jeebus, the amount of information packed is truly amazing.

Berlin Or Bust (Sort of...)

Finally finished Mitnick's book, it took me a while, but, nevertheless, communing to the GF brings about an hour and a half of possible reading, which is a true blessing and helps a lot with my catching up.

Right onto another Beevor book, this time "Ardennes 1944", I've read other books by Beevor before, and I'm positive this one will be amazing as well.

A little status on book reading

Finished Beevor's "Stalingrad" a few days ago; what a marvelous book that is, enjoyed it from page one.

It was an eye opener to say the least.

After that got a grip on "About a boy", the third Hornby book I got my hands on, even tho I've seen the film many times, I've enjoyed the book quite a bit.
The film adaptation doesn't goes too far from the book, and there isn't a soul on Earth who can play Will better than Grant, no question asked.

The other book I read about Hornby, couple of years ago, was "High Fidelity" after seeing the movie, right... I was shocked to find that the book was set in London :D I'm a schmuck, but I believe the Frears adaptation is way better.

Right now I'm onto "A long way down".

A riddle inside of a mighty book

Covered by work?
Yes indeed, but, always, come hell or high water, making some little time for reading... No matter what, matter of fact, I've unplugged my TV/ DVD player, literally, no temptations whatsoever.

Finished the Beevor one on D-Day; it was really good, certainly I can see why it got all that attention it got, but, for the moment, my favorite on the Europe campaign remains Ambrose "Citizen Soldiers".

The one I'm reading now, Beevor's one on Stalingrad it is, to put it simply, quite an amazing book.

So many books...

So little time.

But, at least, I got them books with my for the pleasure of thy reading ;) And, on top of the ones written by Beevor, got some others by Hornby, from whom I've read not much really, just "High Fidelity" (after seeing the excellent Frears movie) and "The polysyllabic spree".
The Beevor ones were much anticipated I'm sure I'm gonna eat those two in no time.

Right now I'm really enjoying "Accidental Empires", nothing new, and much of what Cringely writes I've already read about on other books, but it is really funny and acid.

The Fall of Berlin

"It was the apocalypse of totalitarian corruption, with the concrete submarine of the Reich Chancellery underworld providing an Existentialist theatre set for hell".

About to finish this one, an amazing book, and currently waiting for the arrival of the one he wrote on D-Day and the one on Stalingrad.
