Open source Virtualization software !!- July 4, 2008 This entry is about VirtualBox ! This is open source virtual systems on a single computer !! If you have no idea what I am talking about then you don't need this software! Instead I suggest SandBoxie, which is not open source, and costs $30 for lifetime personal license. For the rest of my audience that understands why we want virtualization, and has a dual core, or even a quad core computer then we have a new toy !!! The list of capabilities of VirtualBox is totally awesome !!! 1>...http://www.lockergnome.com/microface/2008/07/04/tired-of-microsofts-limitations-too-cheap-... Will Comcast Ban Me For Streaming- July 4, 2008 Considering the fact that this is merely a test, myself opting to do a test Ustream.tv broadcast over the my Comcast connection leaves me wondering where Comcast will decide to draw the line. See, I used to create a number of creative how-to YouTube videos designed to help Linux newbies overcome the hurdles that some might face starting out. It took one minor tweak, but I had the audio working easily. The webcam video was a no-brainer as it worked out of the box. But now I have to make a...http://www.lockergnome.com/it/2008/07/04/will-comcast-ban-me-for-streaming/ What should I rename my blog- July 4, 2008 I think change is in order for this blog.

Jing Project review- July 4, 2008 This is what I think is one of the best applications for the Mac to take pictures of your desktop, because not only can you take pictures, but you can even record your desktop, which I think is awesome. This completely kills GrabUp, because not only can you take photos, save them, and then put it in a URL, but you can ALSO record videos of your whole desktop, one specific programwindow, or you can choose whatever you want. But thats not the best part. You can also UPLOAD videospictures of what..http://www.lockergnome.com/nunez/2008/07/04/jing-project-review/ A simple and easy way to manage all your social networking needs.- July 4, 2008 There are so many social networking sites out there now, it is almost impossible to keep up with all of them. It is very hard to post updates to every social networking site when you have more then one. I could never keep up with posting updates to both Twitter and Pownce I thought it would be almost impossible to post everything at once.

Their hope is to get back to their roots (La Grange) instead of their 80's period (Legs). I haven't heard happier news in years. Starting with the MTV Revolution, the Top went to hell. They lost their boogie, their soul, their blues. First with the synth nonsense and videos, then more recently to the detuned grunge and Funny Hat Period. All the while I kept playing their First Album and learning the early tunes that continue to rock.http://www.lockergnome.com/leftystrat/2008/07/04/zz-top-signs-to-american-recordings/ |
