VNC Convert

I am almost ashamed to admit that until last week, I was completely ignorant on the subject of VNC. I had seldom used it as a client and never set it up on the server. In fact, it took needing to use it at work to even make me use it. After getting over my [...]

Mirror of Better Bad News video

OK, dudes seem to have a pretty bad server. It was up long enough for me to get the video, and then it died about 2 minutes afterwards. They do have a CC license that allows distribution, so here my friends, without further ado, is a bittorrent of the glory and power of the BBN [...]

BBN 2

I have now seen the Better Bad News video and it was fantastic. I managed to snag it in the 17 minutes their website was up and running. They must have signed one of those 9.97% uptime deals. Guys, you need to watch the decimal points in those service level agreements.
Whenever their site comes [...]

BetterBadNews!!

I saw from references in Technorati and Feedster that I have been made fun of by BetterBadNews!!! Apparently it has something to do with the ongoing conversation between Steve Gillmor and myself about sponsorship. Right on, I love them and am delighted to be the object of their derision. However, when I tried to go [...]

Kathryn Cramer on DRM and IP

I recently read these two posts by Kathryn Cramer, one on DRM issues and patents and one on DRM and digital watermarking. She makes a lot of great points in both and comes back to a point I have raised multiple time. A lot of the schemes that are purportedly designed to lock down digital [...]

Uplifter Train Picks Up Steam

Over on the Uplifter Wiki there has been a good bit of activity recently as we try to get the PR materials in shape for sending around. March 25th, there will be meetings in both Conway SC and Minneapolis MN. I like that, it emphasizes that this isn’t an event that happens once in a [...]

More CVS Camcorder Fun

Via Mark Welker I saw this reference to an easy installer for the Saturn Disk Mounter program, which mounts your CVS Camcorder as a USB drive to your OS X box if you have the magic hacked cable. I installed the program (which included libusb), plugged in the camera, and voila! There it was, mounted [...]

George Carlin Linguistic Comment of the Day

Another phrase I don’t care for is been there, done that. I, personally, am not so cocky. I prefer the modest approach. Instead of “been there, done that,” I will usually say, “been nearby, done something similar.”

Invisible Hand

I really enjoy the Everybody loves Eric Raymond comic strip. I know that the jokes are not universal and don’t really play if you don’t know something about the various personalities involved in the free software movement, but I found myself in hysterics this morning at this strip. I believe that the phrase “The invisible [...]

Gervais, Pay to Play

Via Podcasting News I see that the Ricky Gervais podcast is going subscription via Audible. Now, I’m contrarian on this particular cast. I happen to have access to a data set that tells me that most people that have an opinion on the show really love it, yet I hate it. I cannot listen to [...]

DuVall on the Interview

William DuVall of Comes With The Fall had nice things to say about his interview on the podcast. It really was great to talk to him as well. I went in thinking we’d talk for about 10 or 15 minutes, but he seemed to not be getting fed up so we kept on going. I [...]
