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!

Well KDE does has its flaws I guess. My podcast is music based and I get CD’s all the time from artists through Ariel Publicity and in order to put them into my show I need to extract the CD’s into an MP3 format.

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.

Today I played around a little with Conky. I got a weather script working and more system monitors going smoothly now as you can see from the screenshot.

I got this setup from the Ubuntu Blog website which it was very helpful, but seeing how I am wireless more I needed more variables to add to my setup. And this information was easily obtainable from Conky’s Sourceforge site more specifically the variable section.

The one thing I have been finding out about conky is that is is very tedious to really set it up. There is no “user friendly” GUI to configure it like the Screenlets so you have to do a lot of text editing to get it to work right. And you have to really ignore word wrap.
