I am trying out Blogilo to post this article right now. It’s a little like Microsoft Live Writer from what the description boasts. When I loaded it I noticed that it’s a KDE based application and you have to set up KDE Wallet. No big deal, but a little annoying I guess.

I would have used BloGTK orginally however in recent times it seems some of the packages that are required to run it are no longer available under Lucid. the gtkhtml2 package I believe is what is was screaming about. Something that gPodder also uses for show notes but it seems to work fine without it.

One thing that is nifty about this application is that it can pull your style sheet from the server so when you preview it within the application it gives you an idea of what it will look like on the site. Really nifty.

I think I may use this to post things. Testing it out more. I even have added an image to see if it will upload it and post properly.

Note: This post went up fine. Just the time zone difference caused it to be late so I editted the time. And it seems the image was not formatted right. Probably something I missed. I may be using the application more in the future!

I read an article recently about what a guy did before a Windows machine finished booting up and it made me nostalgic for the old 8088 days. His posting can be seen here. But read on for the full article and my nostalgic counterpart.

One of my biggest projects has been my podcast called VooDooRadio. It’s primarily an audio only show but once in a blue moon I released a video.  When I was under Windows I used Microsoft Movie Maker to create 3 videos. Two that showed my ugly mug and one that was a video promo for a live show I was doing on uStream at the time. Now that I am under the penguin umbrella, I decided to try out making a video using tools available to me. Here’s how things went and if you want to check the video out, read on or go over to VooDooRadio.org and subscribe to the feed!

Ubuntu is a fork of Debian Linux as we all know, however from this fork we see many derivatives. Some of you may not like the default Gnome desktop or feel the basic install is missing something. Here’s a list of 21 derivatives of Ubuntu that you may or may not know about.

The list of derivatives has been expanding more and more and I am sure I missed some. Please comment if you have any more info on others. Read the rest of this entry »
