Adventures in DVD Authoring in Ubuntu
I have made DVD’s before under Windows Vista using the Microsoft DVD Creator software and using Power Producer as well. But now under Linux I wanted to create DVD’s of the movies I have ripped (or downloaded) or created so that we can watch them on our DVD player or give the DVD’s as gifts for family and friends.
Blogilo Testing

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!
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!
Living without Windows. And it is not Dark!
I have bit the bullet and removed the operating system known as Windows from my laptop fully. I am back up and running to where I was before when I was dual booting more or less.
