In case you didn't know what this was all about:

"The Assembly demo party is a demoscene and gaming event in Finland. The main organizers of the event are Pekka Aakko (Pehu of Accession) and Jussi Laakkonen (Abyss of Future Crew). The event takes place every year between late July and early August, and lasts three to four days. The most recent Assembly was held from the 5th to 8th August 2010 at Hartwall Areena in Helsinki.

In the beginning of the year 2007 Assembly Winter was announced. The new winter party is a more gaming oriented event in Tampere where the summer events continues the traditions of the original demoparty in Helsinki under the name Assembly Summer. Both parties will be held once a year." -Wikipedia

The first Assembly was held 1992 at Kauniainen, Finland. It was organized by Amiga demo groups Complex and Rebels, and the PC demo group Future Crew.

Irssi and ThinkPad T41

As I woke up this morning, I finally decided to install and configure my favourite communication tool Irssi (terminal based IRC client called Irssi) to our "old" IBM ThinkPad T41 with Xubuntu 8.04.

Irssi is highly customizable and I cannot think of anything critical missing from it. Various layout themes also availabe, which is nice! Or you can just simply make your own...

I went on with a theme called Liszt at first. The screenshot will not give the theme any credit, so I won't be offering it here, just a download link (the default theme of Irssi is also very usable).

More about Irssi later...
