In this week’s show:-

We chat about someone’s new job at Canonical, going to a murder mystery party in costume, upgrading RAM in laptops and getting a new Android phone, and playing with Ruby and xvfb. Can you guess who’s who?
We also interview James Smith from AMEE who we met at Homecamp 4 and we have the second installment of the second wave of The UUPC Quiz – this time brought to you by Mark.
In the news:-
Events:-
- BitCoin conference, Prague, 25-27 Nov
- Indiana LinuxFest April 13-15, 2012 2012. Indiana
- Yes, you guessed it (again), FOSDEM will happen in Brussels on 4th – 5th February 2012.
We have a Bit About Ubuntu, in which we discuss Alan’s week at UDS. You can listen to recordings of sessions and even watch videos of some sessions.
We have a command line lurrrrrrrrve from Russel Dickenson who found it on StackOverflow in his hour of need:

ffmpeg -i input_video -vf “transpose=1″ -r 30 -sameq output_video

It’s useful if you have recorded some video in portrait mode and you want to play it in landscape mode.
We have your feedback, including a frankly bizarre contribution from the Wing Commander.

Really did not like the promotion of Carbon-Tax works. Any promotion of a science-religion that will result in a tax on all and how people interact with nature is a police state, so you have a responsibility to not allow people to promote these subjects. It is a serious matter.

It’s the same as you have Stalin talking on how to instigate a gulag.

If you keep promoting this subject you’ve lost me as a listener.

Thanks for your efforts otherwise.

Um…..

Did you listen to the same poscast I did?
Tony

Hmm, we interviewed someone who talked about geeky ways of measuring the carbon impact of various activities and the technological and procedural problems in accurately doing so. Measurement has lots of other uses besides a carbon tax. Even if it were a system for carbon tax, it doesn’t mean that by talking about it, we are endorsing a carbon tax.

Your trolling is sadly transparent and if we lose you as a listener, I’ll live with that.

If someone promotes others to monitor their life’s access to nature, its ultimate goal is to tax or suppress that person.

I am being serious, and people who aren’t morally corrupt will see this.

‘Trolling’, your content isn’t exactly teaming with commenter for me to whirl to pool so to speak. I seriously am not trolling. I was voicing an opinion.

It’s your show so you can have who you want on it, but consider you are rating your content in the process.
