An update on my journey back to square one…
I've installed a lot of the apps I normally use that don't come pre-installed in Ubuntu Feisty like Rawstudio, Inkscape, Avidemux, vlc, mplayer and beep media player. No problems there. You gotta love linux distros and their repository systems. In Feisty, there are 21,000 odd […]
There has been significant discussion over on this thread at inkscapeforum.com about our screencasters.heathenx.org site. We received several good suggestions and as a result we’ve updated the site slightly. Kudos to heathenx for his successful journey through video encoding hell, and his patience with my absolute skill at butchering his CSS work.
Here’s the […]
David Airey posts about ‘speed linking‘. I had never heard the term before, but I’ve seen plenty of it. In fact, Kent Newsome’s Evening Reading posts could be termed speed-link posts and are among my favourite reads.
It’s actually a pretty accurate term too. I find myself zipping through Kent’s ER posts very quickly. I find […]
After about 2.5 hours of backing up my XP and Linux data to my new USB external hard drive, I popped in the Fiesty install CD and wiped the slate. In a relatively quick 40 minutes, I was back up and running. I had no problems with the install at all. Very nice.

I spotted a good deal on a 500GB external USB 2.0 drive, and decided to pick one up this morning. It’s an IOMagic drive and cost me $170 CAD (plus taxes of course). While I know kind of what I plan to do with it, I’m still mulling over the finer points. If you’ve got […]
Well we’ve gone and done it. Fellow Inkscape screencaster heathenx and I have spent the last month or so putting together a home for higher quality versions of our screencasts. You can see the fruits of our labour at http://screencasters.heathenx.org.
About 6 months ago I uploaded my first Inkscape screencast to YouTube and soon after heathenx […]
I’ve always been a fan of the concept of mind mapping, but for the most part, for me, it has remained in the realm of pencil and paper. I’ve found a few good tools, but just haven’t put enough effort into any of them thus far.
Will Simpson posts about a great online app called WikiMindMap […]
To all fathers out there. Happy Father's Day.
Make sure to celebrate it with those that make you a father. Namelyyour sons or daughters.
Hope you all enjoy the day.
Here’s a twist on the cold beer hack I spotted over on lifehack.org this morning. That post suggests using a tray full of salted ice water in the freezer to quickly chill a room temp beer. If, like me, you haven’t got any room in your freezer, a trick that I’ve used to good effect […]
