Democracy Player is the shit. I’m an RSS junkie. I live a good portion of my Internet life glued to Liferea but on occasion I’ve been know to rather watch than read and here’s where Democracy Player comes in. It is a tightly integrated vidcast aggregator and player that provides a streamlined and functional system to satisfy my cravings for multimedia.

It was a fairly simple install for Ubuntu, grab the deb package here, drop to the CLI and run dpkg -i on the package, then fix the install by resolve any dependencies in Synaptic .  Granted, I already installed many of the codecs needed to view the videos but that can be handled by the Automatix script if it turns out you are missing some.

Overall, I’m stoked even though management is frowning a little more at me for spending more time at the laptop.  Well, maybe it is the headphones and my constant, “What? You say something?”
