My First Video Under Linux

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!

Now I know I can rip to OGG or FLAC and convert them to MP3 using Audacity, LAME, and a shit load of other convertors, but that is 1 extra step! I’ve tried Sound-Juicer and K3B and looked at tutorials for each of them and still no go!

So I went back to Gnome. Long Live the Foot!

Day 44 – Flip Flop

I still haven’t gone back to windows. However I found myself flip flopping between using KDE and Gnome.

I didn’t mess anything up this time under Gnome. Everything was working fine. But I decided to back up and do a clean install of Kubuntu. Everything is back up and running and nothing was really lost (except time to get everything).

So last night I loaded up some games. I love the RTS genre so I got Spring Loaded and the Evolution mod. I would really like to play the Star Wars mod but it’s closed for beta testing.
