chrome os, sigfizzle, and shopping

Filed under: tech — Tags: , , — gff @ 9:22 am

chrome os was released this week. I installed it on a sun virtual machine.

The computer only has 1GB of RAM so I allocated 512MB to the virtual OS, so it was a bit slow, but that is the computer not the OS. The interface is well, chromium (or chrome if you like) so even a child could use it. It is initially targeted for netbooks, but I’m sure it could be used anywhere eventually. It was cool to look at and I may try a native install if I get a chance to partition my drive.

sigfizzle; which is intended to be a teacher, student, academic workspace got a face this past week, here it is: sigfizzle.com

I have been contracted to get a shopping website off the ground. I am initially looking at zen-cart designs. I have to figure out how to incorporate paypal into the mix.

I feel busy, I am busy.

An anthropological introduction to YouTube

So I was watched this video and it is at once inspiring and confusing. It makes me want to create, teach and learn in new ways. But I can not see a clear path on how to do so. I recommend watching the above presentation in its entirety 55min. But if you just want a flavour here is some:

David refers to his study as digital ethnography

Of course in the interest of being participatory; here is my youtube page: serundeputy
He mentions this web site? Program?
Fruity Loops <– so I guess I need to look this up.

This video from http://ted.com is in a similar vein about describing our realities base on perspective or relativity.

Old Server New Sever

Now I have to back up all the databases for the Wikis, Blogs, and CMSs and port over all the software after I configure the technology stack on the new server.

chromium

Filed under: tech — Tags: , , , — gff @ 9:52 am

Just installed chromium on Ubuntu 9.04 to test google wave. Wanted to see if
wave depended on flash. But, now chromium supports flash! Last time I installed chromium over the summer maybe
2 or 3 months ago chromium had no flash support?

Works now. Chromium looks and feels good, but it is not cooperating with wordpress. Everytime I go to make a new post in the admin panel it keeps bringing me back to the posts lists?

After further use of chromium, it appears it is not wordpress that is upsetting chromium it is every text field. When you hit backspace in a text field it interprets it as the back button on the browser. Even in a google search??????

Install chromium on Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-using-deb-package.html
