By the people, for the people

I’ve been asked enough times today that I thought I better comment: the videos from FSOSS (keyed to agenda) are all being released under a CC license.  Yes, you can mirror them, put them on your favourite video site, whatever.  When we get a minute we’ll do a proper page for them, rss feeds, etc.  [...]

FSOSS day 2 misc

By david.humphrey | Published: October 26, 2007
I’m in between things on day 2 of FSOSS, and carrying around an assortment of this and that I thought I’d share. First, there’s a great write-up on IT World Canada about Facebook’s Thrift talk yesterday by Mark and David. Second, the videos continue to go on-line.  Dean Jansen from PCF/Miro put the day 1 videos onto [...]

Video killed the fsoss star

By david.humphrey | Published: October 25, 2007
FSOSS is rocking and I just got mail from our AV gurus to say that some talks from the morning are already available for download.  Looks like they did .ogg files.  Please don’t email me and ask why they aren’t in .myfavouriteencodingnowrightnow.  This is raw video that we’ll do more with later.  I’d recommend using [...]

T-Minus

By david.humphrey | Published: October 25, 2007
It’s early, way early, and I’m totally pumped for today to start.  FSOSS is going to be amazing, and I can’t wait to get it all rolling in a few hours. As is always the case, there are the last minute changes and snags.  In this case, we’ve lost one talk (Nokia) and gained another.  Welcome [...]

Finkle

By david.humphrey | Published: October 19, 2007
Yesterday we welcomed Mark Finkle to Seneca.  He came to give a lecture on Firefox Extensions.  I’ve been looking forward to this for a number of reasons.  First, Mark’s knowledge of extensions is really pretty amazing; however, in learning all he has, he hasn’t forgotten about what it’s like for new people.  Second, I really [...]

Crimes against humanity

By david.humphrey | Published: October 11, 2007
To the gentleman (I can only assume) in the pickup truck that drove in front of me for an hour this morning, the one with the stylized metallic testicals dangling (yes dangling) from his trailer hitch: don’t.  Really.  Don’t.

Man shall not live by bread alone

By david.humphrey | Published: October 9, 2007
We’re home from a weekend away in Kingston, where the weather was postcard beautiful.  I hadn’t really been there before, so it was good to tour around and see places I’ve heard friends describe many times.  One such place was called  Pan Chancho.  This is a little great-big-why-don’t-I-have-one-of-these-where-I-live bakery with a restaurant in the back [...]

Registration is $40 on-line, or $60 at the door. And, in case you needed another reason to click here, [...]
