Techie Diva also launches the HP Magic Giveaway competition today. You can read all the contest details here.
If I were to win this competition, I certainly will share the prize with my some really good friends. I won’t keep all the prize for myself nor I will sell any of them. Well it’s about sharing anyway, that’s the main message of the whole competition. Friends are important to me, they keep me entertained everyday. Without friends I am not sure what will I become. Also making them happy also make me feel very happy as well.

Dear LazyWeb,
I’m in a need for a tool to tag my avi videos, is there any tag editor for videos just like easytag for audio? This what I currently use
mencoder input.avi -oac copy -ovc copy
-info artist=artist:name=title
-o output.avi
It works but it also changes other properties that I don’t want to change like encoder. So anything better than this is welcome. Thanks.

I just found out that free internet stations at Sydney Airport use Ubuntu. When I came there a year ago they’re still using Windows and IE. Now they’re using Ubuntu and Opera running in kiosk mode. I took some pics.
Opera browser.

These are what you see when Opera crashed.

The station itself.

Ok this post serves as a note to myself
don’t forget to generate hal-fdi after installing new version of libgphoto2 as gentoo ebuild does not do it automatically
/usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list hal-fdi > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-camera-libgphoto2.fdi
as mentioned on the website

Here is a nice utility I found on gentoo forums. elogviewer is a nice portage log viewer written in pygtk. You need at least portage 2.1. Since version 2.1 portage has a new logging mechanism called elog. You can get elogviewer from here. Many thanks to synss and nmbrthry.

F-Spot 0.1.11 ebuild just hit portage. It uses sqlite3 now instead of version 2. I found this post interesting on how to upgrade f-spot database to version 3. Basically you need to do the following (copy & paste from the post).
cd .gnome2/f-spot
sqlite photos.db .dump|sqlite3 out.db
mv photos.db photos.db.backup
mv out.db photos.db
Now you can unmerge sqlite2. Happy f-spotting
