Fetch Art 1 2 Verified Compatible with iTunes 6

Ive done some testing with the new version of iTunes, and am happy to report Fetch Art 1.2.0 is fully compatible with iTunes 6.0.

Ive tested under Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.2.

For the people who have contacted me with questions:
1) Yes, I am working on a new version.
2) I havent been able to reproduce most of the bugs reported. Many of them seem to be installation issues with the Apple installer.
3) I do try to respond to all my emails, but the response to this application has been overwhelming, and its difficult to respond to every one.

Thanks for all the support and kind words. This application seems to work for most people but a few do report bugs or installation problems. I will address some of those issues with the next release hopefully by the end of the year.

Debian 6 sluggish and slow due to Mono

I have been playing around with Debian 6 for the past two weeks and overall quite happy with Debian but have noticed a slight sluggish feel when working with Gnome. (eg compared to Fedora 14)

My Debian 6 install is a default desktop install which had a working internet connection during the installation process. As a result OpenOffice, Java, Mono, extra Gnome themes and icons were all pulled in.

It would be nice if the Debian installer allowed for a more customized Desktop setup.

To cut a long story short, I have no need for Mono and decided to erase it.

apt-get purge cli-common libmono-*

If you are a Ubuntu user reading this, please do not run this command.

Now the interesting thing after performing this action was I noticed my desktop was more snappy and responsive, and more inline with Fedora 14.

Furthermore, I have also experienced the same feel when removing mono from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Mono makes Linux sluggish!
