Google Chrome App For The Day

An appli a day is good for you!

Go to Google Web Store using Google Chrome, and search for Wikipedia. It just creates a link to the website, but it's nice to have it on your apps list. That is not what I want to share but Wikibooks. Since it's holiday, you may want to read books and learn something new today! I learned Blender 3D from Wikibooks in those days (Although, I still buy from Amazon).You can download it in PDF for your PC. Here's the link: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Subject:Books_by_subject

Kdenlive Problem ? Easy Fix : Stupeflix Video Editor

No Kdenlive? So what!?! Here's another great solution: Stupeflix Video Editor for Google Chrome from Google Chrome Web Store. Works great! Even my sister likes it; even my dog; and make Puss in Boots look green in envy. It's like your video masterpiece was made using Apple's iMovie! It's like having a Mac!

The great thing about this is rendering of videos is blazing fast, it doesn't need a high-end PC since it uses its own servers on the cloud. The only required is fast, broadband connection to upload your videos. But, to make your videos great, make it short and simple. I used Pitivi once to just cut or slice the videos into small bits and upload them altogether, choose a theme or template and there you have it: Hollywood at its finest that it makes me meow for more!!! :)

Hey, how about a Puss in Boots costume?

Ubuntu 11.10 Kdenlive Problem

I can't seem to run Kdenlive in Ubuntu 11.10. Having some problem detecting SDL module in MLT framework. To be honest, no solution here but to install another great program called Openshot, which works.

Again, sorry to disappoint you guys with this Ubuntu upgrade. Hopefully, they get it fixed right away. So, my advice is to stick with the previous versions of what you have rather upgrade. I guess, we all learned a lesson.

Thank you for your patience.

(Update) I have another solution for your video editing needs on this post: http://ooboontoo.blogspot.com/2011/10/kdenlive-problem-easy-fix-stupeflix.html

It looks promising.

How To Fix Could Not Connect To JACK Server As Client In Ubuntu 11.10

Ok, there seems to be a bug in jackd or ALSA or PulseAudio. I've been working since yesterday to get it to run and did these:

You need to un-install jackd2 and install jackd1 instead using Synaptic.

Then, install Ardour (686), and remove the Ardour default installation.

Run Audacity.

Launch QjackCtl and click Setup->Interface to hw:0,0 or default (vice-versa).

That's it! 


How To Create A Website Using Google Web Toolkit And App Engine

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

  • Installing Sun Java from the command line

$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

  • Choosing the default Java to use

$sudo update-alternatives --config java

  • Then, choose Sun Java

Download and install Eclipse:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads

  • Choose Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.

Set-up JDK in Eclipse:

  • Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs.
  • Click Add, Standard VM->JRE Home, click Directory and choose:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun, then click Finish.
  • Check java-6-sun.

Install Google Web Toolkit and Google App Engine Plug-ins:

  • In Eclipse, File->New->Web Application Project.
  • Fill-in Project Name and Package, click Finish.
  • Right-click on the created project in the Project Explorer->Google->Deploy to App Engine (This may take awhile).
  • To run the web app, right-click the project->Debug As->Web Application.

You will see a link to launch a web browser. You need to install Google Chrome for debugging, and install the Chrome Web Toolkit Plugin.

  • Add the Browser: Window->Preferences->General->Web Browser. Chrome is located here: /usr/bin/google-chrome.

Using Free (Open Source) Software To Earn Money And Do The Right Thing

There is no money in computers, but then Linux, open source software comes along.

Free software like Linux (and all the other linux desktop variants), will definitely help you do something to earn money. It's like your first steps towards a journey through educating yourself, working hard to make ends meet. I cannot promise you fame and fortune, but it will definitely help you get started.

So, what do you need? A lot of time; a lot of patience. Learn everything you could learn about Linux, in short, learn the trade. From there on, you can make books, e-books, design and create websites, Python (for Google App Engine), PHP (for Facebook), Java (for Android), C++ (Qt for Android by Necessitas and Maestro), and etc.

Besides, money isn't everything. The most important thing in life is learning and doing the right thing.

There Is No Money In Computers

I’ve been unemployed for more than three years, and resorted to selling ebooks, software that I developed, digital photos, digital artworks, adsense, etc., on-line. After living years on my own, working in my small room, I must admit that there is no money selling on-line using a computer. The truth is, computers will only make you spend more than earn money. Today, you will see tablets, iphones, androids, anywhere in Youtube, CNET, ZDNet, and other tech websites, but you all see them selling to you and not buying from you. You are not benefitting from these so much technology. I bet that once you buy a tablet, you will spend money, and the money you invested does not give you anything in return except money being spent.
