So for some time ago, well its now almost 4 month ago, I decided to take the jump and start using IOS on a iphone 4. My old trusty palm tungsten was getting on the old side and it was time for something new. SO this series I start here will be a not of how to get it working on Linux and then the top applications I found necessary for me and my work. (more…)
Yesterday I was going to look at google earth to check a thing, and found out that I had not installed it since i moved up to the new version of kubuntu.
So I went into the system and did a apt-get install googleearth. That did not work. Did some extra checks and found that I did not have it in the repositories.
I was chatting with a friend on yahoo yesterday and we started to talk about vidochat. Kopete should support it. So I tried to get it working.
But it failed. So I spend some time with mister google.
Most of the time I have been using mplayer or the gnome version of it.
Today i found a nice new player, also based on mplayer, but it seems to have some nice features. Its called UMPlayer.
Well there has been a lot of discussion about Microsoft take over of Skype. Will it end the Linux part of skype, and wjat will it do for the Open Source world that isn’t running windows.
Well in the rss feed today was a story about Skype for Asterisk. I have not used it myself but I did know it was there, and it was a nice feature that we have discussed to include in our pbx, but not come around to do it.
Found this in my RSS reader today.
“TermKit is a re-think of the storied Unix terminal, where human views, input and data pipes are separated. Output viewers render any kind of data usefully. It may not be a new idea, but it’s certainly a new take on it.”
A wounderfull new take on the old terminalwindow – perhapes
As a old Unix/Linux programmer I spend a lot of time in vi. Or vim nowadays. And i like the way it highlights search result.
But when I have done what I need with the search i what it to go away.
I was having a bit of a problem today. I could not login ot a test account I had and i know I had the login information in one mail somewhere.
Problem was that I did not know in what mail, and not even exactly when. So i was going to search.
I am playing Startrek Online some time. most of the time I have to relax, im playing EVE and EVE is my “main love” as games, but I love StarTrek so I’m playing StarTrek Online a bit also. But I was almost to the point where I would end my subscription. It started some weeks ago when the new episode started releasing. I had patch problem. And I was not alone in this.
As I mentioned before, Kubuntu 10.10 is using pulseaudio as default. I am very happy with this and its working great. Bet the last few days it has been having a problem. The kmix application is using 100% CPU. As I have multiple cores its not that noticeable but it is annoying.
