Re: [ubuntu-uk] OT: Monitors
2008/9/16 Ian Pascoe [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Gents Thanks for the pointers - any thoughts on Viewsonix or LG (I think it was) monitors? Ian I used to have an LG flat screen monitor at work. I was very happy with the picture quality. 1600x1200 pixels helped, and the slightly matt surface worked well. I would have been happy to keep using it, but my boss offered to buy me a bigger screen, and as those offers come round only on a blue moon, I now have a huge Samsung screen. -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] MIDI Writing Software
2008/9/16 Andy Loughran [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Guys, I could do with some help locating a MIDI writing package for Ubuntu. I'd like to be able to write music on the computer, and for that to then get played back to me by some midi engine. I'd like to be able to write multiple tracks and play them back ontop of each other. Everything I've found for this so far seems to be external-input based. Whereas I'd like to be able to point and click adding notes, lengths .etc. There was some Windows Software from way_back_when called MIDI Orchestrator Plus! by Voyetra, that would be perfect.. but I've lost the disk, so can't try it under wine. Hopefully someone will have some experience and be able to point me in the right direction.

Hey Dave, I applied, of course and a 7PM sounds decent as it'd only take around an hour and a half to get them from Leicester so I'd leave early (before 4PM) to be safe if I got a ticket for any of the Fridays.

[ubuntu-uk] Linux Expo Live
It looks like there is going to be a linux expo in London this year: http://www.linuxexpolive.co.uk/ It's being held along side Creative Pro Expo and Mac Live Expo at Olympia 23-25 October. They're currently looking for groups to populate the .Org village: http://www.linuxexpo.org.uk/ Are there any plant afoot for Ubuntu-UK to have a presence there, or is there any interest in making such plans? I'm going to be down that end of the country the following week anyway, so could add a few days to cover the Expo and help man a stand if there is.

Robert Hi Robert, I spoke to the event organisers and it sounded promising, they may even give us a double stand. However, they did want to know if Canonical were having a stand on the main floor before agreeing. This is being pursued with Canonical, I'll let the list know of any development.

I can foresee two problems with the polo shirts: 1) They were produced by Nik Butler (Loudmouthman) on behalf of the Loco team, and he's now stepped back from the team 2) Canonical have their store now, selling their own shirts*. We'd probably need to get new permission to do them. * I'm using 'their' instead of 'our' because a) I've got my community hat on right now and b) I have no involvement in the store or trademark usage. If this was a UK LoCoTeam shirt for team members, maybe we can do a deal with a company I know of through a company I used to work for called Xamax. http://www.xamax.co.uk/detail.asp?idProduct=1 The shirts are good value price wise, embroidery is free for certain quantities (maybe we can do a deal on order quantity if we guarantee purchasing a certain amount per annum) and they are very hard wearing - I know I wore them for over a year and the company I was working for supplied them to engineering, building, demolition and other companies of that kind.

I had a similar dilema having to rearrange some music a little while ago. I used noteedit which seemed to work best for me. All the programmes seem to have funny quirks and idiosyncracies. My advice is to have a go on each and see how you get on. To print sheet music from noteedit, I had to save it and print from rosegarden.
