Topics Covered: - Viewer Comment: This is a great show! This show has immensely helped me get through my Linux experience.
- Thanks to John Hunt for helping us improve our RSS feed.
- Category5.TV viewer forum now requires login.
- New poll is online: How did you hear of Category5.TV?
- Audio-only feed is online for dialup / low-bandwidth users, or those who want to listen to Category5 Technology TV live with an iPhone or other portable device that is Internet connected.
- Robbie corrects a few of his previous mistakes: Episode 54 (1 GB, meant 1 TB). Episode 53 (FLV conversion software is Moyea FLV to Video converter).
- Viewer Comment: My first hard drive was 120 (or 2?) MB.
- System Crash: A first time for everything -- During this time, Robbie's computer, which hosts all cameras, the web stream, etc. simply rebooted itself. No explanation, and no apparent reason. The Windows event viewer didn't even show any errors. Temperatures were normal, and everything seemed fine after the sudden reboot. The only thing lost was 3 minutes of show time and an advertiser tag (which will be made good). During the brief outage, live viewers were automatically booted to last week's feed, but once our system came back up, they were automatically reconnected to the live feed.
- Viewer Question: How do you disable MP3 preview sound in Ubuntu? Every time my mouse hovers over an MP3, it plays a preview that scares the crap out of me.
- Viewer Comment: I've been watching the show via Miro, watching your feature on OpenOffice.org and wanted to mention that you can set the default file format that OpenOffice saves the files in to Word's .DOC format.
- Changing the default save format in OpenOffice.org Writer (the Microsoft Word-compatible free word processor).
- Viewer Question: Is .ODT an XML format?
