I have a fair bit of Norwegian in my ancestry so it's definitely not that.
:) Your history is correct, but it's also the name of the football ground
that my beloved Blues, Chelsea Football Club, play at. I don't know why
it's named that but you might be able to dig it up somewhere at
http://www.chelseafc.co.uk (also happens to be one of the clunkiest
websites of all of the English Premiership clubs). Most Americans call
this sport 'soccer'. :)

The player is gqmpeg, which has some skins you can tack onto it. I don't
use it because I found that it doesn't cooperate with other apps for CPU
time as well as x11amp does, at least on my slow-ass box. 

And with regards to someone's suggestion of using roottail, no I never
knew you could do that, I'll have to try it out. But wterms are nice if
you want to color code everything...tail the samba log in red, tcp traffic
in green, etc. etc. The best colors to use are the most basic--red, green,
blue, yellow, red, cyan, magenta--otherwise you get a nasty blotchy
looking color (like if you tried 'orange' or 'DarkGreen').
