Setting up Ustream on my android phone was as easy as downloading the application from the market, but when i tried to stream live video from my laptop in Ubuntu 9.10 I didnt see any video or audio on the broadcast (see attached photo). It took a bit of googling but i found the solution and it was an easy fix.

By default Adobe denies websites from accessing your webcam and microphone so that you dont accidentally send embarrassing videos to youtube or the like. While they used to prompt you if the site requests controls it seems something is rotten in the current state of Denmark.

Configuring your screens in ubuntu for presentations or hooking up to a docking station or LCD Tv have always been labor intensive operations that required lots of clicking and knowledge of resolutions.

Disper is a tool used to automate alot of the configuration but lacks the ability to remember previous states or toggle between them gracefully.

Austn City Limits is taped here in, you guessed it, Austin, TX. Through dogged determination and some love from the folks at KLRU Kate and I have been lucky enough to make it to a number of the tapings. The following is a list of the tapings we have made it to and in the order of my preference:

If you have ever installed linux as a dual-boot on your computer you know that the GRUB bootloader conveniently places an option to boot back into Windows so that you can run them side by side with 0 effect on eachother (save a little hard drive space).

However, when you install Windows Microsoft assumes that you are fixing a "bug" on your computer. That "bug" is the existence of linux as a bootable option. It conveniently removes GRUB as your boot loader and doesn't replace it with an option to return to linux if you care to do so anytime you reboot.

You've heard all the fuss, maybe you've even given it a try before but this time you want to make the plunge and switch to a linux desktop for good. Ive been using linux as a desktop for just under 10 years now and I've made a profession out of making mistakes and learning the hard way. Here is a software developers and open source enthusiasts most frequently used application list to help you get the most out of your experience with a little less frustration. All of these programs can be installed through Synaptic or Application > Add Remove unless otherwise noted.

Quick Response codes are really just slightly more robust versions of the UPC bar codes you see on your everyday purchases. Traditional bar codes require that everything is assigned an official ID and then they encode that long number in the bar code. When you buy something that number is scanned and the price and information about your product is looked up in a database.

QR codes let you encode more than the products ID in the graphic so the third party information isn't necessary.

Content Overlay

I traditionally find content overlays extremely useful for simple content operations and modal dialogs. For instance I patched and advocated an issue that would promote the delete operation on a node to a Menu Local Task like Edit and View currently are. This is in line with my views on implementing actions as decorators on the objects they perform their work on.

The proper use of a content overlay in this situation would be as a confirmation dialog for the delete operation.

We are finally finishing up our remodel projects and the stone fireplace is one of the last ones on the list.
