where is klaatu? |
|
June 01 2008 - Klaatu will be offline for the next few days, due to his upcoming move. Time Warner has confiscated his cable modem, and so unless he resorts to borrowing a neighbour's wireless, he'll be reading books. However, if you IRC much, you're in luck. Monsterb and Peter64 in #lottalinuxlinks will be impersonating klaatu so that it will seem like klaatu is still around. Thanks, guys! | ||
end of season two. |
||
May 31 2008 - Klaatu, even as he packs up his apartment to move to his new home and job, manages to release this big season finale loaded with...more of the same. He talks about power management and speculates on how power management might be made better on your machine. He also gives a brief review of Yellow Dog Linux 6. | ||
insert graphic here. |
||
Apr 30 2008 - Klaatu interviews Chess Griffen about sbopkg, and chats with him about BSD, Slackware as a Desktop system, and more. | ||
Klaatu is on the road this week. |
||
Apr 23 2008 - Klaatu is back from NAB, more or less. Even as he travels, however, he has managed to post this podcast, with interviews from the NAB expo floor! He hunted down every vendor running Linux and spoke to each of them. He also failed to mention his close encounter with the FCC (much less exciting than it sounds) and the fact that he attended a really cool HAM Radio mini convention whilst at NAB. Maybe next show.... | ||
Klaatu is at NAB Conference this week. |
||
Apr 16 2008 - Klaatu is at NAB this week, but right before he left, he spoke with Pat from The Linux Link Tech Show about...everything. Asterisk, MythTV, Macs, which TLLTS members hate freedom, and much much more! Plus bonus tip on HOWTO IRC! | ||

Apr 10 2008 - In this special update, Klaatu and Skirlet discuss the conclusion of their project of bringing an old skool iMac loaded with Debian Gnu/Linux to Fernando, a 2nd grader in Mexicali who needed a computer. They also discuss a new podcast they will be co-hosting: Fedora Reloaded. Subscribe now! | ||
 |
No wallpaper this week, cuz Klaatu's been busy with other artistic (open source, of course) endeavours. |

Apr 07 2008 - This is the big philosophical episode about usability. Why are new users to computers so confounded by the interface? what can we do to make it better? Various questions are posed, a few answers are suggested, and inevitable flames from some grumpy user named Kajarii are anticipated ;) | ||
 |
This wallpaper has nothing to do with this week's episode. It's just a random wallpaper that Klaatu did for fun. If you haven't heard the phonelosers.org podcast, try it out! |
|
Mar 24 2008 - Klaatu discusses portable operating systems, including web-based, shell accounts, and pendrive live distros. Interestingly, he completely missed the existance of a Fedora live pendrive creator, so makes no mention of it here. But probably he'll talk about it in the future now that he finally found one! | ||
 |
Klaatu's been playing with Slax, and loving it. |
|
Mar 4 2008 - In this week's exciting episode: a letter from the future reveals how Linux will save the world! Plus, Klaatu talks about Slackware, Slackintosh, and Slax (be sure to check out Klaatu's Hacker Public Radio episode on howto install and customize Slax). Klaatu also discusses marketing policies of proprietary software companies. | ||

Want a Fedora 8 Care Package? Enter this episode's competition. |
|
Big Linuxy Prizes |
||
Mar 4 2008 - In this episode, Klaatu talks with two mystery guests about the cost of running Mac OS X (hackintoshes excluded but we'll get to that in some other show). Klaatu reveals this week's hastily thought up competition for the Fedora Care Package he was sent but cannot use (t-shirt's too big, and he already has Fedora installed on a machine). |

Happily running OS2008 on his Nokia N800, Klaatu interviews interesting people at SCaLE 6x, and discovers the Brave New World of Foresight Linux! |

Armed only with his Nokia N800 and his wit, Klaatu reports from the Expo floor of SCaLE 6x |
|
SCaLE Report, 1st Edition |
||
Feb 14 2008 - Klaatu recorded a number of interviews whilst at SCaLE 6x, so many, in fact, that not all could fit in one episode! In this 1st Edition, Klaatu interviews Tom Callaway about the always exciting Fedora project (02:25), with Larry Bushey of the Going Linux Podcast (07:10), with Bruno Albuquerque of the BeOS reimplementation project called "Haiku" (16:30), and finally Cactaur from the California Ubuntu Local Team (26:10). |

Episode 2x06 / January 18 08 - Klaatu and Skirlet are on location at the KDE 4.0 release event at the Google Campus. KDE 4 is an incredible desktop environment, miles beyond the competition (but then again, they're only competing against the likes of Windows Vista and Mac OS Leopard...) and it's still not even really finished yet! We have THE scoops for you in this episode - including the hereforeto unknown fact that the Qt framework will be released under the GPL v3 on Monday - a very exciting victory for the controversial GPL v3.

Episode 2x02 / January 17 08 - This is actually episode 2 of Season 2 but we forgot to post it.

Episode 2x01 / December 16 07 - The Second Season has arrived, and we've gotten SO addicted to *nix that we've just gone and tossed Mac OS out the window and dropped in the supa sleek Fedora 8 "Werewolf" onto our iBook G4. This extra-long episode is a complete walk-through on HOWTO install Fedora 8, get wireless up and running, and settling into your new OS. Important Links: |

A friendly reminder from The Bad Apples - This past week Klaatu has been on a campaign to get a log-out button on the iDisk web interface. Feedback has been submitted to Apple regarding this omission, and a post by Klaatu on the discussion.apple.com site has been removed(!) by Apple themselves. This is a little concerning, considering what kind of security issue this really is. |

Episode 0x00 / November 29 07 - The long awaited Episode Zero of The Bad Apples finally arrives! Yes, this podcast has finally matured enough to proudly present itself to the world with a (small) hardware hack and some major software hacks to destroy your OS X system, and create a modern NeXT system. If you're not afraid of a good amount of UNIX hacking, a little Applescripting, and you've heard all of our previous episodes, then you're ready to take on some serious mods. Join us, if you dare. Feeling nervous? Check out our photo gallery and get jealous. |

Episode 0x09 / October 19 07 - A special interview episode with Ronald Stewart of the Trinity Audio Group. Klaatu spoke to Ron at the New Media Expo held in Los Angeles recently, about the revolutionary new Trinity audio workstation, a portable mixer, recorder, sampler, drum machine, built-in break-out-box, cd burner -- it'll even stream what you've just mixed to a web server! It does everything -- and it runs Linux. |

Episode 0x06 / October 09 07 - Gort and Klaatu talk about HOWTO back up effectively. Klaatu talks about the command line, as usual. Gort explains networking. Klaatu, incidentally, guest hosted a special GIMP episode of Chess Griffen's Linux Reality podcast. We'd like to thank Chess and his listeners for letting Klaatu ramble on about graphic design, and we urge YOU to go to the Linux Reality site and start learning everything you need to know to get Linux installed on at least one of your computers. Coming soon...a special episode on installing the fantastic Debian OS on one of your old Macs! Links: |
