There is a nice article about HTML5 video: http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html

After I have upgraded our media PC to Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid Lynx) audio stopped working in XBMC. Upgrading to the latest XBMC ubuntu packages from PPA didn't help. After some experimenting, I have figured out that pulseaudio had to be started. I have the XBMC session file (/usr/share/xsessions/XBMC.desktop), and it turned out that it simply starts xbmc-standalone, which in turn starts pulse-session. But only if it exists. On Lucid it does not.

Fortunately we can use pulseaudio --start instead. So I just modified the startup script and now it works fine.

During the flight I mentioned in my last entry, I realised that I had forgotten to install and setup some stuff. So I installed them today. These were:

• Service Pack 3 for the Flight 1 ATR 72
• Latest navitational database for the ATR 72, available from navigraph.com

Yesterday I have installed a Fokker F50 for FS2004. It was made by DreamWings Design, and it contains a CityJet livery by Mathieu Vos. It is available from flightsim.com: http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=139789

Installation is straightforward, just copy the extracted directory in the Aircraft directory of FS2004. There is also a panel for the F50 from the Fokker Panel Project, but I haven't installed it yet.

My Windows XP kept crashing when I was running Microsoft Flight Simulator, so I decided to upgrade to Windows 7. I just had to find some space on the disk, insert the DVD and the rest was straightforward.

For those who know me it might be surpising that I use Windows. Well I do, but only for Flight Simulator. :D

Finally I had time to fix my blog. When I upgraded my system and did a database backup, I did it in a wrong way. So I couldn't do a straightforward recovery, I had to do it manually. And it take so long. Well, it only took a few hours, but I never found the time for it until now. But now it's back, time to share my latest adventures ;-)

I thought it was time to move to IPv6. And I did:

robi@akari:~$ ping6 -c 1 ipv6.google.com
