Building and Installing Fluxus on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
Just like my previous 9.10 guide, Heres another to get JACK working together in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).
Unlike my previous guide, I've opted to use checkinstall so you can uninstall packages as easy as dpkg -r plt-scheme fluxus
StagFS Moved to Bitbucket
After bitbucket upgraded their free plans I decided to move from github to bitbucket. So now StagFS can be found on bitbucket here.
TVSlurp
Out of frustration of manually queuing up TV shows each week, and having a list of favourite shows on both TVRage and Newzbin I wrote a small script to pull your favourite shows iCal from TVRage and search Newzbin for unwatched episodes.
Unfortunately half way through development my feed changed and now I've got nothing to watch, so I've been unable to test it fully. But it should work...
More info over on bitbucket. TVSlurp on Bitbucket
[edit] Moved the code to bitbucket
Getting Started with a PICkit2 on Ubuntu 9.10
This Christmas I received a PICkit2. Unfortunately the support for Linux is nothing like it's support for Windows. Here's a quick guide on getting things working in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).
Recording Videos with Fluxus
Once you've created an awesome Fluxus sketch you're going to want to show the world. With a copy of ffmpeg this is a pretty quick and easy task.
Configuring JACK and PulseAudio on Ubuntu 9.10
This guide should get you set up to route audio through JACK from PulseAudio on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) when you want without having to run JACK all the time.
Update: While this works it only works sometimes. I've found it to be incredibly unreliable and crash all the time.
StagFS – Standalone tag File System
StagFS is a FUSE file system written in python with the aim of storing meta-data against files, and then representing that in an intuitive tree structure that any application can use natively.
Building Fluxus on Ubuntu 9.10
As I foresee me doing this again, Here's a quick guide on getting Fluxus and JACK working together in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).
Graphic Equaliser Pt1
One of the problems I've had with Fluxus is the inability to adjust the gain on the individual harmonic bands. Sure, it'd be easy to do with software but then you're forced to alt-tab mid performance when the drummer decides he wants to hit things harder. So instead I decided I'd get a hardware equaliser. With EQ's on Trademe being huge bits of home theatre kit, or a bit on the expensive side I decided I'd make my own. Can't be too hard right?
