Hulu Desktop on My Fedora 11
Oct 30th
I’ve been using the Hulu.com services from time to time to catch up on shows I’ve missed. I don’t have cable so this is a great alternative for me. I remember hearing about Hulu Desktop on a podcast a while back, but I totally forgot about it. Well, earlier this week a friend on Twitter mentioned it and that sparked the tech-geek in me to try and install it. Lucky for me, they have an RPM and a DEB installer. For you hardcore-Linux enthusiasts or masochists, I’m not sure if they have source files available.

Atlanta Linux Fest 2009
Sep 21st
September 19th was the Atlanta Linux Fest, which had about 700+ people show up – don’t quote me though, there were a lot of different head-counts being tweeted that day. That number sounds great, but it’s nothing in comparison to the once great Atlanta Linux Showcase that was started by my LUG, Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts. With that selfless promotion out of the way, it looks like ALF has a great start to making the city of Atlanta a hot spot for FOSS conventions in the future. It was a tiring day, but I think Nick and Josh from the Ubuntu Podcast will continue to run this event for years to come. I’m not certain if there were other folks or organizations that started this, but Nick and Josh were certainly considered the poster children for it.
First Ever Web Design Using The Gimp!
Aug 27th
Hey all, I’m very excited about this. I’m a web designer/developer coming from the Windows world. What that means is I’ve been using Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc to design and produce web sites… for a number of years. Since switching over to Linux, I’ve been trying to figure out what were the FOSS equivalents. The conclusion I came to is The Gimp and Bluefish (unstable). I’m currently working on a web site that I plan to launch this weekend, but I don’t want to show you the goods just yet.
I’m primarily using this blog platform as a time stamp. I’m very proud of what I have been able to produce. I didn’t think it could be done, but the trick is just getting used to the software. That is all for now. I plan on posting the graphic and link this weekend. “My I have some Bluefish to go with The Gimp!?”
A Chromium RPM on Fedora 11
Jul 16th
I was trolling the Fedora forums when I saw a post by mariuszs on “Google Chrome in FC11“. A bit of excitement rushed through my body and I checked it out. Sure enough it lead me to the http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/ site and it left me very confused. I didn’t know what I was looking at. Lucky for me it was explained in the thread how easy it was to add this test repository for me to eventually do a:
# yum install chromium
So; i’m reposting the instructions to give it more traction.
Whatcha’ Say!?
