I just published the latest in my video series on getting your Behringer MOTÖR keyboard working well with Pro Tools as a recording controller. If you’re not familiar with the series, check out this earlier post for a link to the first YouTube video, and then go from there. This …
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I wrote something on the blog. It seems like social networking has taken all that content into its tornadic funnel. I just wanted to note that I’ve been working on a YouTube playlist that helps you use a Behringer MOTÖR 49 or …
I get quite a bit of email notification from Pagure, the free (as in freedom!), Python-based git forge. I have and participate in several repos there. Pagure sends me email when there’s a new or updated issue, pull request, or commit to a repo I monitor. Previously, all that email for me …
One of the aspects of Fedora is holding public meetings on IRC. We use Meetbot (courtesy of Debian, thanks!) to help administer meetings. Common commands allow Meetbot to do all the hard work of recording proceedings. The automatic minutes make it possible for people who couldn’t attend to follow what …

UPDATE: I stupidly screwed up the screenrc line because I did it from memory instead …
It’s not as well known as it should be, but there’s a great source of documentation for the ifcfg-<interface> files that provide network settings in some configurations. NetworkManager has the ability to interpret these settings as well. If you look in the online documentation for the initscripts package, you’ll find …
In reference to my earlier post, I picked up my replacement H555 headset this weekend and wanted to share the changes I noticed from the earlier model I previously owned. Some changes are good, some are not. Pros: The headset band is now a little thicker — this might make …
