6.6.06 hmmm...


So, as you know, the time of this writing is 12:45@ 6.6.06. Anyways, there's some movies coming out... and stuff.... lots of stuff happening...

*mathlizard likes to be descriptive, especially about certain things and stuff*

I put my top ten list on my other blog (this is a cross post from blip.tv -so, if you're already @ blogspot, just stay there and scroll down to MY FIRST BLOG... blah blah blah.... ) to the really cool software out there

http://mathlizard.blogspot.com

so, check it out :D

oh yes, I know this is supposed to be a video blog, but I STILL (after 3 days) don't really have that many videos to share... I need some ideas...

My iPod story is interesting, I think I'll share it... Back in January, I got my iPod 60gb Video...
So, to make things short, don't install linux on the iPod yet... It aint too good for it... If you do, just get the ipod updater and reset the ipod when it's plugged into the computer by toggling HOLD and pushing the middle+menu buttons at the same time. :D...

I was originally going to make a movie and publish it at the end of the summer. not quite sure where that's going yet...

I, of course have amassed quite a few webpages (not even close to being finished/updated - I need some traffic for a good reason to update all of them... Anyways, I think I found most of the free (good ) webhosts out there, (and I have a webpage at just about every one too!) If your favorite one isn't here, well then, post a comment or something...

THE FREE WEBSITE HOSTS

1.FREEWEBS.com/mathlizard

2.mathlizard.BATCAVE.net-small ads

3. mathlizard.TRIPOD.COM -has ads

4. mathlizard.googlepages.com -free

... Those are all the websites I can remember publishing... if you find one you like better than one of these, feel free to comment and tell me which one you like... :D

(11:10pm)Okey dokee,
I'm going to be trying out GOOGLE Adsense, so, yeah... If you really want to know why, I'm trying to save up for a laptop... (wish me luck). The laptop I'm currently looking at is a Dell Inspiron Notebook E1505

I think that's it :D mathlizard.blip.tv

My -=1st=- Blog post.... Blah Blah Blah



Well,
If you've googled mathlizard, you can probably see I like to try new things... Of course, no one said anything about deleting the things I don't use, so, I guess that's what I do... (not the best, but I never seem to find time or turn out forgetting I even signed up for stuff) So, Anyways....
(oh yeah, and I did come up with the name mathlizard first!)
Stuff to do....
I think I'll try and post some tutorials on various software to help people out.
I found a boatload of really nice software for... um.... free...
(argh, and no, I ain't no pirate- this stuff is all OpenSource)
Here's my top ten:
1.Blender 3d- animation software
This software is what I'm probably going to do some video blogging/tutorials on (mainly because most of my friends can't make heads or tales of it...
2. Open Office- Office Suite
The best way to get Microsoft Office tools without Microsoft Office. Includes stuff to make Powerpoints, Word Documents (.doc), Spread Sheets (.xml) and other cool things...
3. MP3DirectCut-MP3 recorder
Fast way to record anything you hear on your computer (or maybe hookup a record player and convert vinyls) Directly to mp3 (thus the name) I downloaded it before the big watermark was splotched. It's version 1.37 (you might need to search a bit to get a good download)
4. ISOBuster-DVD/CD
Get those files off that scratched CD/DVD!
5. AVIDemux-DVD/VCD
(make sure you get the Gimp skin-comes with the Gimp - which is kindof like adobe Photoshop) this lets you convert DVD's/ VCD's to AVI. Very useful. I used it to get footage from a wedding from VCD (talk about HARD!)
6.Trillian-Chat
Tired of switching between chat services? Try this one as a multi chat AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, etc. + it checks your email!
7. Firefox-Browser
fast,fun and free web browser. I currently have the ifox Smooth Theme with tab mix plus and chatzilla on there...
8. Skype-Phone
Right now (as of 6.04.06 - until 2007) you can call anyone in the US and Canada for free via Skype, (just dial +1 before the Phone Number: +1 areacode1234567)
9.Google Earth
See your house from satellite (did I spell it right?) photos. :D fun...
10. Avid Free Dv-Video Editor
Not exactly perfect, but a WHOLE lot better than Windows Movie Maker! (but I think iMovie is somewhere inbetween... Haven't tried Cinelerra for Linux yet - holler over here if YOU have)
Oh yeah, if you do create something in AVID freedv and want to export it/edit it in a different program, you'll need to do a little work on the files. (copy/rename the OMF media files in OMFI media files folder to a .DV extension (it works :D). Unfortunately, audio resyncronization is necessary...

I think that's it...
