Ken Mink: MythTV on AppleTV (June TriLUG meeting video)

Hate it? Blame me, since I did both camera and editing. Love it? Thank our excellent presenter, Ken Mink, and the TriLUG Steering Committee, esp. Matt Frye, our chair. And with that, the video:

festival for the eno

I went to the festival for the eno. I grabbed a few videos and put them up on youtube. Enjoy.

more fiddle in the pit (video)

I keep forgetting that there’s a regular Wednesday jam session in front of student stores at UNC. I’ll have to go back out next week and get more. Enjoy the two videos I got:

We get joe jobbed pretty much constantly, and recently spammers have started picking on not-so-tech-savvy individuals who do their mail with us. Eg. “Poor User”<p.user@example.net> gets [...]
