  1. I know quite a few folks have been asking for it and well, here it is (coming soon). #Budgie Desktop packaged up and running on #aerynos

    Budgie 10.10.3 is right around the corner, so I'll be holding off on submitting it until we ship that within the next couple weeks. But once that is tagged, it'll be full steam ahead. We'll be able to add yet another operating system to our Get Budgie page 🎉 More options the merrier!

  4. I put together this video for #AnotherPlanet by #TheCreatures (#SiouxsieSioux & #Budgie) years ago. It's a bit disjointed and doesn't synch up with the music, but I sortakinda like it that way. Maybe some day I'll fix it up, but for now...

    "I'm here
    On another planet
    How's it with you
    On your planet
    All was surreal
    On this planet
    It felt so regal - it was so romantic
    Now it's all changed
    And the plot's unfolding
    Another fairy tale
    With a twisted end

    They're coming out the walls
    They're seeping in
    There's armies of them crawling
    They're coming in

    Satellite above
    Looks down unblinking
    Satellite of thought
    Unthinking

    They're coming out the walls
    They're seeping in
    Three odd eyed tentacles
    Speak in forked tongues
    Sprouting all over me
    And blossoming
    I'm breaking out the walls
    I'm coming in

    I'm here
    On another planet
    How's it with you
    On your planet

    Satellite above
    Looks down unblinking
    Satellite of thought
    Unthinking"

  5. A budgerigar (budgie, common parakeet, shell parakeet, Melopsittacus undulatus) in the Ramble a few weekends ago. Its camouflage is working pretty well, but it needs a rescue before the winter.
