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 [...]

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 [...]

While I did get Wonderland’s client to load and run finally, I was not able to run the server software because of an undefined error, and when I logged into the server being run temporarily for this test at Drexel University, I was unable to see anything except text chat, and the other people online [...]

I’ve just added a link in my ‘blogroll’ (in the left sidebar) to justincc’s opensim blog. Thanks to Troy McConaghy for a pointer to that

According to an anonymous blogger on Sun Microsystems’ website (quoting an InfoWorld article), Sun plans to create a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for the iPhone using Apple’s new iPhone SDK, to be ready in June 2008. Way cool! If that happens, the next step would be a Project Wonderland client for the iPhone….

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” [...]

I’ve given up trying to configure Ubuntu to use as anything but a desktop system. It’s very pretty, and would be an excellent end-user computer for someone to use for web surfing and email, and maybe running SecondLife, but at least as I installed it (important caveat), it doesn’t have the right packages to let [...]

I did install the MacOS 10.5.2 update today, which appears to have helped my WiFi connectivity as promised, but that has nothing to do with how I got Ubuntu to finally connect to the net. What I had to do was click a little icon at the top of the Parallels vm window that I [...]

Once I found out Parallels had some problems installing the Ubuntu Desktop, it was just a matter of searching their knowledgebase for information about Ubuntu Server. Sure enough, I came up with a page of instructions that not only gave a way to install the server, but even explained why it didn’t work out of [...]
