Moving Scripts to Parrot
Created yet another Capi interface (perl xs module providing perl hooks to Oracle capi (calendar application programming interface)), this time for RedHat linux on parrot.
recompiled the old nph-count web page hit counter odometer code. now creates PNG instead of GIF files, in keeping with patent restrictions on GIF files and implications on the Boutell gdlib.
Still need to move and consolidate some mySQL admin stuff. Another day, perhaps.
Synchronous Classes via Quicktime video
Gagan Mirchandani, Professor Electrical&Computer Engrn asked me…
I am looking into the matter of having my Fall class lectures available to people in our local industries. I am not aware of my options. Ideally, I would like to have my lectures videoed in one our classroom in Votey building and have them available to the aformentioned group in real- time. Could I meet with you and discuss options? My department may have a small amount of funds for equipment purchase but I would need to get to that soon. Please let me know.
I told him about
- desktop solutions: Quicktime Broadcaster, RealProducer
- mysterious CE solutions: HorizonLive
- bigtime solutions: Instructional Television
he liked quicktime broadcaster, and said he’ll give that a try. He has a dual 2.7 GHz G5 Powermac (just replaced his 15 year old DEC Alpha) in his office, will use that and a long cable.
