Startup Lessons Learned 2011 streaming live. Crash course in java brain surgery ;-): How to download videos from InfoQ for offline viewing. From my humble opinion, InfoQ is one of best resources for developers nowadays. You can find lot of IT related stuff - interviews, articles, presentations slides and videos. And today I would like to talk about videos from InfoQ in particular. Is always good to have offline version to watch it during long commute, for instance. Unfortunately, InfoQ administration for some reasons not allow to download videos. Change browser User Agent to iOS (iPad or iPhone) Go to page that contains desired movie. Use curl -O or simply paste link to address bar of Safari and download videoEnjoy! Making the Complex Simple. Installing ubuntu to a usb drive using vmware.
In this post I’m going to walk you through installing ubuntu on a usb drive using vmware, that can boot any system not only virtual machines also we’ll create an ntfs/fat32 partition so that we can use it with windows computers as an ordinary pen drive too. The first step is to partition the pendrive, I have a 16 GB device and I’ll use half of it for the linux installation and the other half for data. We can use either gparted or cfdisk from the live cd to do this. Another important thing to note is that for any usb storage device, it’s life is affected more by the number of writes that reads. So we’ll also tune a few parameters after the installation to maximize the life of the usb drive. Once the device is partitioned correctly we can install ubuntu as we would on an ordinary hard drive be sure to install the boot loader to the usb drive too.
Once you are done with it, you have successfully installed ubuntu to a usb drive, you can use this to boot any computer. Victor Gaudioso–Preserving his Contributions. It was Sunday night. Victor and I were having a video call on Skype finalizing our plans to host his 70+ Silverlight video tutorials on Xaml TV. He was late to our meeting because he said he didn’t feel well. He said that he was recovering from a week long illness, but he quickly assured me he was feeling better. We chatted for awhile and then ended the meeting with some friendly banter like we always have in the past. Sadly the next day, on the morning of Monday April 2, 2012, Victor Gaudioso passed away.
You didn’t have to know Victor long to know that he was passionate about his work and about his community. The Sunday before he passed, Victor gave me 73 of his videos that we would be posting on Xaml TV. If you would like to help by donating to Victor’s memorial fund or to volunteer, please visit the Los Angeles Silverlight User Group site. Rest in peace my friend. Brian Lagunas Comments are closed.
