Short version: Alt-F3, M, then use cursor keys.
Alt-F3 enters the “window menu” or “window configuration menu” for the currently focussed application / program.
M is the underlined letter in Move, this will then bring up the “compass” cursor over the window to be moved.
Cursor keys - up, down, left, right - then move the window around.
I’m trying to edit a small clip from a larger program, add titling and post to YouTube. The clip is a section of TV program called Best of Friends and shows a pottery challenge throwing a pot on the potters wheel at Barefoot Ceramics.
Anyway, FOSS linux apps I’m auditioning (at least I think they’re all FOSS, definitely free-gratis):
Well, I thought it would be nice to do some demo’s for using Inkscape. First up though I need to find a decent way to create video screencaps, preferably with audio and notes - though a video editor could be used later with the resulting video.
I used Google and Sourceforge to expand my search and limited the contenders to those with Linux versions. The top app on SF was VirtualDub but it’s Windows only.
Contenders are:
So what does a self confessed geek do for relaxation. Once J is in bed, slashdot and digg are exhausted. My Kubuntu box is finely tuned and there’s no dream shopping to do on ebuyer / amazon. No bargains left on Ebay … well you get the picture.
Well I discovered Enemy Territory: Return to Castle Wolfenstein (ET:RTCW) over a year ago and have spent many happy hours playing it.
What’s so good about it? Well for me I think it beats other games because of hte community surrounding it. Splash Damage released it to the world for free some years ago and there are clients for Windows and Linux. I play on a server run by the HarryHomers clan who have a website, forum and active community. A clan is just a group of people that play together often competing against other clans (teams); a gamers community group if you will.
So am I a traitor?
Have you seen Piclens from Cooliris? It’s awesome. Actually came across this from watching >Click from the BBC - they arrogantly said “just install it” - so I thought, *huff* how good can it be. Well I’ve got news: it’s flapjacktastic!
Only downside is that it’s not yet out for Linux - I tried it on Windows Vista (FF version) on my new comp and it rocked my techy world! Also ran it in a VMWare Windows XP environment (FF again) on which it was a tad slow for me but still cool enough to use.
My next effort now is to use the information in the Gallery2 forums to enable Piclens on Barefoot Ceramics’s gallery. Code available from Suprsidr on FlashYourWeb.com.
Update:
It works. Go to a gallery and you can get the piclens view if you have the plugin installed. I simply followed the instructions to alter the template.tpl, album.tpl (in the $templateName/local/ folder) and piclensRss.php (in the gallery root) files.
These programs configure a script, usually rc.firewall, which in turn sets up iptables. Iptables then handles all the filtering mangling and NAT requirements for you.
As ever there are lots of options, I used to use Guarddog which was great. However I now need to do NAT and guarddog required me to use a companion program called guidedog. Instead I thought I’d try the native KDE options, the closest thing to that seems to be KMyFirewall.
This is pretty good.
Slackware Linux installation on an IBM Thinkpad 755CX is considered to be out-dated and will not be updated as of 2007-03-19
If you need to get Linux discs (CD, DVD) in teh UK then Cheep Linux (”the cheepest way to buy free software, lol!) and the Linux Emporium still appear to be operating, UseLinux was down for maintenance at the time of writing.
This page (started March 2003) gives details about using Knoppix on my HP Pavilion 7880(uk) desktop computer. I say using and not installing because Knoppix (pronounced K’Noppix, created by a German bloke called Herr Knopper) can be booted from CD - just stick it in your drive and reboot.
A HP Pavilion 7880 (UK) about 2 years old. It’s a AMD Athlon 1.1 GHz with 20 GByte harddrive, Nvidia Gforce 2 graphics. It appears that it has a HCL modem using a PCTel Chipset, ie a Winmodem. sourceforge.net has a useful project on PCTel modems under Linux and there’s a mini how-to.
Whilst I was trying to get Linux working fully I decided to try Knoppix as it’s bootable off the CD.
I’m stuck with windows at the moment as there are a few programs that we use (particularly MS Money) that I haven’t found a linux alternative for yet [GnuCash might be it though??] - I’m sure there is one but will it read the proprietary format of Money’s files? Due to the winmodem (see above) I haven’t got online with Knoppix but everything else seems to work fine,eg OpenOffice.org and all the games ;0)> .
Well, funny you asked that! I got my copy from uselinux.co.uk, the proprietor was most helpful and appears to be providing the discs out of love for Linux - ie I can’t see how he’d make a profit unless he has a huge CD generating capacity already.
Your best source for up to date distributions is the internet site, usually www.your-desired-distro.com. They usually have a list of FTP mirrors that you can spend a few weeks trying to get an ISO off - if like me you have 56K dialup. You could get a friend to download a copy. Or you could borrow a copy - remember this is open source and most of it is free-as-in-beer (eg GNU GPL) so you can print as many copies you like - check the license first and if in doubt e-mail the support guys for your distro.
Alternatively, try one of the following sites (none of whom sponsor me), I can only vouch for uselinux.co.uk though.
The first page listed is the creators site. Note that Knoppix is from a German source and so English documentation appears to be sparse at the moment.
I didn’t find any one else logging there use of Knoppix on a HP Pavilion.
General information about my Pavilion:
I had been recording Sermons at our local christian fellowship since August 2002 and so put this together to tell people how we did things. It’s now largely obsolete as MP3 has taken off and minidisc has largely been passed by. Also, I no longer do sermon recording on a regular basis. I’ll keep this page up for a bit though.
I thought it was about time I shared a little of the methodology used and gave a quick review of some software options open to you. This information is relevant to all types of live audio recordings, not just Sermons.
We have Soundcraft Spirit E-series mixing desk at the fellowship building which offers 8 channels of inputs. Currently we just use 2 standing mics, 1 12-string acoustic guitar with pickups, 1 electronic keyboard and a radio mic for the person orating.
