This is hilarious, so I just had to post it.The 404 has been talking about autotune quite a bit lately. Someone posted this to @the404 on twitter.

There are many ways to create ScreenCast in Linux. Basically all of your options break down into two categories console tools and gui tools.
I have played around with a lot of different methods and think I have found a solution that works really well.

If you have a really powerful system you can do everything via ffmpeg. Make sure you compile ffmpeg with the --enable-x11grab flag.
Once you have ffmpeg compiled properly you can capture, scale and encode your screencast using something like.

Finally, Chromium works in ubuntu!

Chromium has been available for Linux for a while now, but until recently opening chromium in Ubuntu resulted in a blank browser screen. I just recently updated chromium and at last, it works!

There is still a ways to go, but this is wonderful. Chrome is my favorite browser in Windows and I can't wait for the day Chromium is as functional in Linux as Chrome is in Windows.
It is important to make the distinction between the two. Chromium is an open source browser project and Chrome is Googles browser based on the Chromium project.

So you finally got fed up with M$ and decided to try Linux.
You set up a dual boot so you could run Windows and Linux and are finding that you like Linux better, and now after discovering VirtualBox you find that Windows runs great under Linux and want to convert you existing Windoze partition to a VDI.

Note: If you want to create a VDI from a drive that only has windows on it you can pop the drive into a linux machine as a second hard drive.

Comcast recently shipped me 3 Digital converter boxes to support the upcoming switch to an all Digital Signal.
Unfortunately the digital signal requires using the new digital converter boxes to change channels. This is a huge inconvenience to anyone using a 3rd party DVR as well as for anyone who recently purchased a new digital TV which features like PIP as these features are likely not to work with the new converter boxes.

Luckily for those of us running MythTV, we just need to make some minor changes to get our Home-Brew DVR work with the new converter Boxes.

I read an article on Slashdot the other day and was surprised to find that most people seem to prefer bandwidth caps over throttling. Of course everyone prefers neither, but if asked to choose one over the other most people seem to prefer capping.

Switching from Windows to Linux can seem a daunting task. Hell switching from any OS to any OS can seem daunting and invoke fear and frustration into anyone. This post is my attempt to minimize both the fear and frustration.

There are several things you will need to do in order to make a smooth transition from Windows to Linux. Many of these steps are equally important and of course importance changes based on individual taste / needs, so the order of steps presented here are simply my recomendation.

There is a great poll on ZDNet @ http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=2827

The poll ask "What’s your current Windows OS migration plans", and after 7,850 total votes the results look like this.

I am so sick of derivative works not supporting their native platform.
Safari and Chrome both use WebKit which started as KHTML and was developed by the awesome KDE team.
