I’m started from tangolerra project made by Franco Iacomella and after an hard job with svg I made my personal mochup of Cinelerra called Cutiehd. But when I started to work on the mochup of Cinelerra 2.1cv I tryed to enable again the support of font antialias (xft), write a draft of Utf-8 support, rewrite some parts of titler code and adapt the svg plugin from the Cinelerrasv by ”Simeon Völkel”. I know that these features can generate instability, so I decided to make a new package with it’s name and icon called Cinecutie, that can be consider more as ”mochup” than a real ”fork”

En söndagkväll i juni på SJ:s tåg

Så händer det igen. Får ingen plats på X2000 trots bokning eftersom @sj_ab slarvat bort en vagn. 70000 i sjön. Vinter: X2000 har problem med kylan. Sommar: X2000 har problem med värmen. Sitter fast i Alvesta med krånglande tågsätt. Jag sitter och förgås i värmen i Småland. Vill hem! Nu med halverad dragkraft, godståg framför


Like tears in the rain

Inledningen av Fredriks blogginlägg får mig att inse att jag faktiskt censurerar mig själv på nätet. I arkivet på denna blogg finns det en del, kanske alltför, öppenhjärtiga beskrivningar av suktande efter tjejer, om desperation, blyghet och om utanförskap. Men hur det konkret yttrar sig och vilka följdeffekter det har har jag inte varit beredd


Valla apan i en fyrkant

Möjlighet att lämna betyg om olika typer av företag har funnits ett tag. Dels i branschspecifika register, om t.ex. hantverkare eller i Ted Valentins kartsajter om sushi, caféer, kyrkor och annat, och dels i mer allmänna förteckningar som Reco.se och Eniros avknoppning av Gula sidorna, Rejta.se (att två av de första bokstäverna är samma ser


Faktorer vid val av lärplattform

I den viktigaste delen av min text om monolitiska lärplattformar kontra lärplattformar uppbyggda av existerande tjänster för sociala medier så har jag tänkt ta upp en rad faktorer och argumentera för och emot de två valen för respektive faktor. Här är listan på faktorer: Enkelhet Aktivitet Öppenhet Marknadsföring (tredje uppgiften) Upphovsrätt Lärarens Studentens Plagiat Integritet


Litteraturlista

Jag har tidigare önskat möjligheter att få ut mer data från bibliotekens datasystem. Det finns inget snyggt API men jag kunde i alla fall klippa och klistra från universitetsbibliotekets system vilka böcker jag just nu lånar och som jag hoppas ska ge lite matnyttig information i pedagogikarbetet. Computers and the collaborative experience of learning Crook,


Sociala medier och lärplattformar – arbete inför öppen ridå

Som avslutande del i en kurs i pedagogik som ges för anställda på universitetet så får man skriva ett fördjupningsarbete som har koppling till pedagogik. Eftersom jag stört mig på inlåsningen i krångliga tjänster som It’s Learning har jag valt att skriva om valet mellan lärplattformar och sociala medier. För att tvinga mig att göra


Årskrönika 2007, del 1: januari och februari

Bloggåret inleds med att nämna ett samarbete som har kopplingar till mitt arbete. Med resor mellan Norrköping och Solna varje dag blir det lite tågbloggande. Snart får jag dock tillgång till en andrahandslägenhet på Östermalm så pendlingssträckan blir avsevärt kortare. Skriver ett inlägg om alla hjärtans dag som jag sedan beslutar mig för att inte


Framtiden utifrån forntiden

Kanske har Newyn rätt när det gäller tillbakablickar, att det är viktigare att blicka framåt än bakåt (vilket jag gjorde i ett tidigare inlägg). Risken med framåtblickarna är ändå att de baseras på gammalt tänkande. Vi fastnar lätt i att tänka på läsplattor, hybridbilar och blu-ray, klimatkatastrofer och övervakningssamhällen. Det är aktuellt men är ändå


Jag minns mitt avskedstal

Så här den sista månaden under den tidsperiod i vår tideräkning som är fyrsiffrig och börjar på 200 blir det mycket prat om att sammanfatta de senaste tio åren. Purister talar om att det är ett år för tidigt med den typen av sammanfattningar eftersom decenniet egentligen slutar 2010. Eftersom de flesta ändå verkar börja
