Save the Planet by recycling and reusing old computer hardware with the best operating system GNU/Linux.In this video I show a range of hardware that’s a least 9 years old and how useful it is with the best operating system. The commercial computer market is largely driven by vendors seeking to sell new hardware and software. There is no commercial marketing benefit in promoting reuse. GNU/Linux doesn’t require big hardware, it’s very useful if you like or need to use old and small hardware.

I also briefly mention Treacherous Computing. so make sure you are aware of it.

Videoblogging with Free Software lesson

Posted on 12th November 2006 by Chris

I put together a lesson on how to Vlog with Free Software. I thought about doing the whole thing as an instructional video but that would end up being a huge file so this is enough to get you up and running. Below is the screencast for introducing the software thats used in the lesson.

Its an early release so hopefully it will be useful to some people. Here’s my Videoblog examples, thanks to Blender and Stephen Downes they received some attention. I”ll add them to the Multimedia Library soon.

Posted on 6th November 2006 by Chris

Click on the video below to watch it, if your reading this from a news feed you’ll have to visit my blog. In this video I take a quick look at Blender. There’s links for downloading it below.

Some people are probably like wtf is this windows and mac files, well its to try and say look you can choose from these videos so choose the top one where before they are probably thinking wtf is the Ogg file. Why Ogg Theora Matters for Internet TV.

This is the second video I’ve created with Blender, I started with 3 cubes that turned into a building, heres what it looks like on the outside.

Blender Building

The best resources for learning Blender I’ve found so far would be OpenCourseWare - Tufts University - Blender Course and the classroom tutorial book from Blender Animation, 3D Computer Animation Utilizing Free Software . You can browse my bookmarks if you want, there’s a lot of really useful resources for learning Blender on the web.

I’m also using a newer version of the open source flv player so some feedback would be nice.
