Re: [ubuntu-uk] Kubuntu Screencast
Ok, I gave this whole screencast thing a go, it's on upgrading packages, like Alans last one, but for Kubuntu. It's not what you'd call in-depth but I tried to cover the same stuff Alan went over in his one. It's about 7 mins long and covers the Adept updater and Adept package manager, which was fun because I actually use Synaptic and update-notifier as I severely hate Adept :-P . Before you look at it, just remember I'm not popey, I'm a guy from B'ham so I don't have The voice of the balls. Hey mate, there is nothing at all wrong with your accent. Even this 'dumb northerner' could make out every word. Besides, I don't know if being 'The voice of the balls' should be a compliment of an insult! It's also on archive.org but doesn't seem to be live yet, so here's a tinyurl'd link to the ogg file: http://tinyurl.com/y35p86/2006_installing_updates_kubuntu.ogg (15 MB) The tinyurl downloaded for me great - I didn't check archive.org. Let me know what you think of it, but don't be to harsh :-D Totally excellent work! Nicely themed both in keeping with Kubuntu and the work that Alan has done. Long enough to be interesting and relevant without over doing the point. Not being a KDE user at all (well not since v2), I've just learned lots.

Even this 'dumb northerner' could make out every word. Besides, I don't know if being 'The voice of the balls' should be a compliment of an insult! I totally agree. It's great that other people are keen on doing this too. I am glad that it's not a one-man-band effort. It also helps to cement the community if we work together on something like this (IMO). Let me know what you think of it, but don't be to harsh :-D I really liked it. I added it to http://quickones.org/ and whilst I appreciate that's in no way an official site, don't forget that all the content produced so far is released under a free license. So in the event that an official site is made we can just transfer the content. Totally excellent work! Nicely themed both in keeping with Kubuntu and the work that Alan has done.

Yeah, I'm no KDE user, so this is fantastic to have someone tackle Kubuntu. Next we need edubuntu and xubuntu :) Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Even this 'dumb northerner' could make out every word. Besides, I don't know if being 'The voice of the balls' should be a compliment of an insult! well, as long as you can understand me, I guess it's ok. It's also on archive.org but doesn't seem to be live yet, so here's a tinyurl'd link to the ogg file: http://tinyurl.com/y35p86/2006_installing_updates_kubuntu.ogg (15 MB) The tinyurl downloaded for me great - I didn't check archive.org. The tinyurl is the direct link to the file on archive.org, but seeing as I kinda messed up the archive.org one, as in you can't get to the file, I'm going to put another one up. This time with some tips from Alan Pope about formats and such. Let me know what you think of it, but don't be to harsh :-D Totally excellent work!

Not being a KDE user at all (well not since v2), I've just learned lots. Regards Stuart Thanks, it's a first attempt and I'm quite proud of it :-P I'm going to try and do kubuntu version of the ones Alan's done, so both kde and gnome users can get the same information. Then maybe we can collaborate on which ones we should do to stay in sync. It could be a good idea to get a team of people working on these screencasts as we can roll them out quicker without loosing any of the quality. Just something to think about/discuss. I'm happy you liked it, and happier you learned something. I'll start working on more, like IRC in Konversation (as a partner to the X-Chat one) and Kopete (to the gaim one).
