Computer Tips: on using your machine in the new media. What that, you ask? Well in the past, your PC was a glorified typewriter, game station, post office, but now with always on internet, your PC can also be a replacement for your radio and TV. Of course, you will need a working computer with internet connection and speakers ..
Up at 3am (working, right) and there's nothing on TV? The internet is always on - on demand and 'free' at least for now. These favorite TV show links are specific to my local area and may not work from other locals, but here goes:

Loved this site .. Why Linux is Better www.whylinuxisbetter.net by Manu Cornet.
I switched my own work computers to Linux a few years back [but still fix mostly Windows/Vista class computers *slow*with viruses*broken hardware/drivers* for others]. Started with Red Hat, currently use SMEServer for my webserver, but will be soon testing Ubuntu Server as a replacement system (as it is being updated more frequently), and now use Ubuntu Linux for all workstations. A few of my older systems are on Xubuntu and my home netbook has the Ubuntu Netbook Remix version installed.

I had a request to download a file from youtube and burn it to a dvd last week. The video was public domain from lds.org but was distributed via youtube (at www.youtube.com/v/-Cw8I8eukaI ..). It could be viewed via the internet but we needed to show it without an internet connection. A quick search found the www.keepvid.com website - just what I needed. Just pasted the youtube location into their URL search box and voila: http://keepvid.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fv%2F-Cw8I8eukaI the links to the actual MP4 video files are displayed.
I click/downloaded the MP4 video to my computer and then used the DeVeDe program to create a DVD version to burn to a disk which was played at the start of their meeting on a regular DVD/TV. |

Have you blindsearched yet? at blindsearch.fejus.com you can search for your favorite things and then choose from three columns of results to indicate which one is most accurate. AFTER you choose, the page then reveals which of three search engine results you found most accurate - Google, Bing or Yahoo .. For example, when I enter 'Roger Davies Magrath' I found Google and Bing to be my best results. What say you? |
