So Ubuntu is getting into the TV business. If they can pull it off, and get into Cable/Satellite/IPTV STBs, the would would be a much better place. This looks way better than Microsoft Mediaroom or any proprietary cable box software I’ve seen.
Now, is it just me or does that video sound a lot like this one?
I have to say, I gotta feeling that Canonical might have got it right. Unfortunately, past experience says Big Telecom isn’t very interested in what’s good for the customer.
Sesame Street is one of the best kids’ shows ever. It has always been clever, cute, funny and educational. Not overly childish, but simple enough to be understood by young children. Love it.
Since I was little, my favourite characters have been Ernie and Bert. Especially Bert, for being serious and going along with all of Ernie’s antics.
In second place, but not by far, is Cookie Monster. He’s a bit eccentric,
but later on is calm and logical. Well, for the most part.
Finally, there’s Grover. who smells like a monster.
And Grover’s not the only one who’s been keeping up with the times!
I currently am running this blog from an OpenVZ server managed via Proxmox VE. One issue I had with this setup is that the Proxmox 1.3 installer by default comes with a relatively old kernel (2.6.24), and I want a newer kernel (>=2.6.26, so that I can use my cx18-based TV tuner). Fortunately, Proxmox is just a customized version of Debian Lenny, so I just installed the linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 package from apt, then ran update-initramfs -u and update-grub.
After updating the kernel, however, I was unable to start any of my virtual machines from the Proxmox Web UI. Looking at the system log showed a message about vzctl being 32-bit; problem solved by updating vzctl via apt.
Now I’m attempting to compile v4l-dvb…. fingers crossed!
