Danwiches…. LOLZ!

oh, one more thing… you can create PGP keys real easy w/ a GUI through the Passwords and Encryption Keys application under the accessories menu.

Jon, thanks dude, I knew there was an easy way to generate the keys!

every time I watch the start of this podcast, it makes me want coffee.

I like this real-time commenting tool!. I like this video. This is the kind of stuff I will enjoy and keep me entertained while I get into developing and helping out with Ubuntu. I watched this while going through vimtutor after everyone bashed me for using gedit. Later guys. Oh, yeah, and the Southeast Linux Fest is close to home this weekend.

I like that dell is supporting ubuntu, but I dont think I would pick up a netbook with the latest version of ubuntu not 8.04

Do you guys think it would be useful to implement a user submitted and voting system to suggest topics for the show. Similar to that of Digg and what other sites use to let users provide feedback. I just looked and there does not seem to be a real system for this on the internet. There are a couple PHP snippets posted online, but I was thinking about making a full open source project for something like this. I could work on it as a side project over the summer once my exams are over. Once I’m done, would you like to be one of the first people to use it? I think it would really represent the Ubuntu motive by letting the community help decide topics. I tried send this to the feedback address, but I think that something’s wrong with my outgoing email. Let me know what you think.

BTW, check out http://www.chann3lz.com, it’s my attempt at an mtv first year resurrection (if anyone can remember what that was like), no VJ’s, ads, just music videos.. I loved night flight too..

The only thing I think you guys lack is some sound absorption because reflections off the wall sounds kinda cheap. Egg cartons?

I make these long one hour, have been told, boring as hell videos on youtube, see users/rofthorax .. All the video game captures are done with gtk-recordmydesktop screencasting software, which aside from audio sync issues, is fairly slick. Im now upgrading all my computers to 9.04 , it’s smokin’ fast on wine (see my demo of COD4, aside from the idea that this is just s Pentium D 2.8Ghz, it’s screencasting with gtk-recordmydesktop while translating Windows API calls and doing COD4 fairly well..

It’s got to put the fear in Microsoft executives to see stuff like this..

I have a question, would you agree that the reason Ubuntu linux won’t have viruses is that it has more accoutability for downloads.. I mean where do windows users go to get their software? Where do Ubuntu users go? A thin-client app that goes and downloads and verifies every package.. I think that that should be emphasized, not the binary incompatibility due to source compiling,, which is really not a good reason.

Another solution for the sound absorption is to put carpet on the walls or use those dividers that have carpet on them.. Carpet absorbs sound..

It also gets rid of background noises.. But nothing is going to fix motorcycles and hum of cars driving by.. Which I don’t really notice in your podcasts..

If you have to remove background noise, there is a trick in audacity for noise removal where you take a sample of the environment, and then use that to get rid of the noise floor, but too much makes the audio sound like a bad cellphone…

Oh BTW, if you do video podcast (I’m listening to audio on odeo now), blender 3d has basic video support, I give demonstrations of how to edit video in linux with blender.. It works!! I’m going to see if they fixed the audio playback in 9.04, because I’d be flying deaf (blind) when rendering videos with sound in 8.10 but it worked well pre-pulse audio. One advantage with blender is the ability to stretch the video to match the audio length, and offset the audio.. Also it is resolution independent, only the aspect ratios matter.. So if you layer a 320×240 on a 1024×768 video, it’s not going to really matter, both will get scaled one to one automatically..

Whoa you talk about it..

Hey check out my videos.. I show you how to edit..

Someone said sony vegas works in wine now.. Just the video preview doesn’t…

The videos I upload to youtube are all ogv, converted with oggconvert.

Oggconvert is KISS.. After playing around with mencoder and ffmpeg, I’ve found ogg from oggconvert is hard to beat.. It just seems to be better..

I forget which ffmpeg or oggconvert ( blender uses ffmpeg, and supports a bunch of the flags within blender), anyhow, one of those will allow you to do multi-pass encoding, and set the bitrate or vbr.. I think I did a demonstration of it on my channel at youtube..

That’s

Hi, We talked at the southeast linuxfest about editing in Blender. I mentioned BlenderNewbies.com,

Here is one particularly interesting tutorial about layer titles on video :http://blendernewbies.blogspot.com/search/label/Titling

I love your show. Thanks for the shirt!
