Re: [BLUG] How do you like to get rid of terminal corruption?

That only works sometimes. In this case I tried reset and it didn't
work.

Ok, just kidding. I'm curious though, how do you usually like to get
rid of terminal corruption? Do you just close the terminal or are you
daring and try to reverse it by cat'ing out /dev/urandom or /dev/sda?
Sometimes I'll try cat'ing /dev/urandom, but something makes me think
that its dangerous to do that. Anyone know?

[BLUG] Linux Format issue 116 available for free

Linux Format is offering issue 116 for free (as in beer) on their website via
BitTorrent. The link will be gone at midnight GMT tomorrow (today, depending
on when you read this).

http://www.tuxradar.com/content/linux-format-free-download-24-hours-only

There are torrents for high and low quality versions, as well as a torrent for
the dvd included with the print version. Better get started!

You know, disk encryption, 16 character multiclass passwords that I
rotate every week, firewalls that require my approval for every packet,
that was never really enough for me. Something was missing, so I
decided to learn a binary character set and use it on nearly everything.

Re: [BLUG] still photos in a video project

Ah, yes, Picasa 3 and the like. I love the programs, but they are what they are for, and despite the many useful features of Picasa, F-spot, and others, they just don't make an honest to goodness movie presentation where I can control the features of each and every frame separately, and adjust sound tracks to properly fill the right spaces and so on. Hence my original email. But thanks for the suggestion at any rate - much appreciated.

I have also in the past tried to use Presentation-style software, but it has never quite been as polished and smooth as I need.

You might try looking at some of the photo managers. I think one of them can export a group of pictures into a video slideshow
