I have a chance to review a new, specialized video editing tool called vReveal, just in time to try to fix up some of the shaky vids I’m making with my new iPhone 3GS. But there’s a catch.
vReveal is a MS-Windows® program. Normally this would not be a problem, since I have Windows XP Pro®, [...]

I was merrily posting a new entry to my personal blog this evening, when I discovered it had been infected with some malware. When I tried to look at the page, all I saw was the background image, and the status bar in Firefox showed “waiting for banished.ru”. After looking at the files on [...]

Some things have been remade frequently because they are fill a useful niche, and someone thinks they can either do them better, or because they want to see them in a new form, or perhaps they perceive a potential money-maker. This seems to be the case with color wheel applications. A quick Google search turned [...]

We have moved to a different RV park, which has a different WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider), one that offers unlimited bandwidth. That’s the way life ought to be! But there’s a catch.
One of the things that frustrated me most about the 360MB/48 hours limitations imposed by NomadISP at Beaudry RV was that I couldn’t [...]

So now we know we need that amplifier. If you haven’t been following this blog, you might wonder what kind of amp is under discussion. Your best bet would be to start here and work forward in time to get the gist.

I’ve just added a permanent page to this site, featuring a link to my “room” in Google’s new Lively virtual world. Please link to my Lively room and let me know what you think. Oh, sorry, but so far only MS Windows XP/Vista users can actually do that for now, but Google promises [...]

Since my last post here, a lot has been accomplished.
Last time I wrote, I was downloading the OpenSim server software to my external hard disk via SVN. That went well, but I have to admit that the instructions for compiling and running it on MacOS 1.5 were so daunting that I deferred that until after [...]

After one of my friends in SecondLife, Opal Lei, asked me if I’d seen OpenLife and I had to say no, I decided to take a look. We at the ISM have been talking for years about finding if not an alternative, at least an adjunct to SecondLife, since having all our IP eggs in [...]

Troy McConaghy just posted a message to the Qwaq MICA group about a brand new Virtual World, Tomorrow Space from a company called Transmutable Networks.
I naturally immediately signed up for an account (katlemieux) and briefly explored this Web-based world, which only opened to the public this Monday. So far, they have two types of “rooms” [...]
