====== Issue 2013 - August ======

===== apt-get remove pulseaudio =====

I've noticed some strange lags on [[hardware:lenovo-g780|Lenovo G780]] I've bought for my parents. It started with random 
lags in sound output. Then it turned in whole laptop freezing for a couple seconds. I've checked load and it was high and 
the only reason, the sensible one, I could think of was HDD. I thought it was APMs doing, you know - green, green, green!, 
so I've turned it off via ''hdparm''. It didn't help and I couldn't play any music at all later on.

I had my eyes on ''pulse-audio'' for quite some time by then, but I was reluctant to make a move. I did, rebooted notebook 
just to be sure and all those problems went away. No more lagging/disrupted audio output, no more lags/freezes as far as 
I can tell.

Good bye, pulse-audio. You won't be missed!

===== August review =====

This is just a personal review what I did in August

    * kvm-wrapper MOD - caught up with upstream, abolished Bash completely
    * got sick thanks to polluted water
    * lxc - did take a quick look and was rather impressed by consistence of cli tools
    * I've toyed around with Asus Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy S3
    * fake-ipmistack - work has begun
