[ilugd] Interesting and simple project
I was looking around for some simple time sheet application and found http://sillaj.sourceforge.net/ Neat and interesting application which fits my need. Just thought will share with all of you. -- Regards, Sudev Barar Read http://blog.sudev.in for topics ranging from here to there. PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others. In case you are already doing this . great, spread the message. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] Free iPod Manager For Wine-doze?
[snip] Well, one of the options is not to use the Ipod because of its restrictive nature!! Other devices like those from Creative, Cowon and even Mio are linux-friendly and are well supported in Amarok (in addition to Rhythmbox) currently my thinking too. how the music streams through the air to your two biological and analog ears does not matter, so long as you get juiced up with good-enough quality. check this 'roll your own ipod (sort of)' approach, based on a tip kishore bhargava gave me last year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/niyam/2570134330/ the catch, it needs a power-adaptor, but you can get a battery-adaptor, which is a bit clunky. the good stuff: drag and drop any media file with freedom. I use an ipod (the older video ipod) with the free software from rockbox. T[snip] yup, so while you bypass ipod's restrictive iTunes, and enjoy your ogg, apple uses your dollars to develop and strengthen its DRM-based devices, software, and services. regards niyam ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Let's bycott Apple completely. And I trust you also will not endorse Macs as apesome hardware-software integration anymore ;-) I wanted a new lappie, instead of going for an 'iSucker', I choose Dell XPS 1330. Know what in US, it comes preloaded with Ubuntu. Here I will wipe 'Widows Vishtha[1]' and install Ubuntu Intrepid. Currently I use GTKpod and GPIXpod to sync my iPod, which I, unfortunately, bought before I set out on Foss journey.

Re: [ilugd] Free iPod Manager For Wine-doze?
the ubuntu you use is totally inspired by apple. check mark shuttleworth on this. He said in his blog that they should increase the icandy element in Ubuntu so as to leave Macs behind. There is nothing in Ubuntu that is inspired by the iSucker. Ubuntu is plain Debian, with some fixes and a bit bleeding edge. also, i am seriously thinking of buying one of those vastly-overpriced macbooks, much as i dislike apple's policies and pricing. errr... if advocates like you will start buying iSuckers what will happen to the rest of the lot? How can we ask to stay away from non-free stuff when we ourself use them? Will not we lose the right to advocate further? I will never endorse you buying an Apple. Check config. They are even crapier than a low end Dell/HP. HP now is more Linux friendly, and Dell too. I don't agree with your purchase decision. But its your pocket. And apple is not Muft and Mukt. I am utterly disappointed :-( I dont want you to become iNiyam iBhushan :D i visited the 'imagine' store at ansal plaza today to check them out, but they are expected in by the first week of november. want to check them out with a bootable ubuntu cd.

Re: [ilugd] Kiss Your TV Goodbye. With GISS.tv
This is great stuff. I tried it out with my home DSL connection. I created a
channel and streamed my webcam and mic to their IceCast 2 server. It works
like a charm! Their wiki suggests using VisionAir on Windows (
http://giss.tv/wiki/index.php/Streaming_Tools), but that is not able to
stream. I used VLC. You can ofcourse use Theory Streaming Studio on Linux.
For someone who would want to try it out with VLC, this is the stream output
MRL format that works (for video + audio):
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=128,scale=1,acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=
source:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8000/channelname.ogg}}
This is great for people who cannot afford to host a video streaming server
(with IceCast) of their own - since the bandwidth requirement makes that
kind of hosting costly - it's based on the giss.tv network, the concept is
awesome.

whew! am so glad you liked this angad. am even more glad yves insisted
with ilug-d and sarai he wanted to come to delhi and talk to a
reluctant bunch of us, as almost all of us had turned a deaf ear to
him.
am as excited as you are about this.
consider spreading the word further, holding a demo or two in your local area,
if you're coming to the next ilug-d meeting in this lovely weather,
deliver a talk. anything.
