Freedom Toaster, the software vending machine

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,




Imagine a vending machine, that gives you all types of free software and operating systems, straight on to a DVD !! The software vending machine ? Yes, a software vending machine, you heard it right. I got to watch this one on TV the other day. It’s pretty cool isn’t it ?

The news was on a Malayalam channel and I am sure we have it somewhere in Kerala. So, it should be in other cities too. Have you ever seen it ?  If you guys know about it, let me know, I need fedora core 8, the latest version. And of course, I would like to check out this cool software vending machine !! Check out their official website here

Where is my Theme ?

Second news of the day, What happened to my theme ? Well, you guys know me very well, right ? I love playing with wordpress themes, and right now, I am working on the cutline theme, which you are familiar with, ( yes, wordpress.com has it ).  Soon, you will see a modified version of the theme here, so, wait for it.

Any suggestions about color schemes ? Background ? Header image ? or anything else related to this wordpress theme ?

Never seen a software vending machine, though we often use movie vending machines here…1 movie for $1/day. Also coffee, snacks, chocolate bars etc. is common.
