I usually think I can google with the best of them but I am coming round to thinking twitter is quicker!<\/p>\n
Yesterday I was working on a wee document on how asus netbooks running linux could be used in class. (I hope to add some more stuff to Doug’s<\/a> google presentation<\/a> soon). The webcan can record video nicely, but the files are .ogg ones. On the machine i was using there was no video editing software so I was thinking of moving the video onto a mac to edit. I started googling ogg to mov<\/em> and the like but didn’t find a result. I figured the ffmpegx<\/a> might do the trick, but installing that app is not straightforward. So I tweeted<\/a>: anyone know how to convert ogg video on a mac. can only get VLC to view simple solution prefered<\/em> at 3:32 PM. By 3:34 PM rogbi200<\/a> had tweeted @johnjohnston http:\/\/handbrake.fr will convert most things!<\/strong>, followed by one from atstewart <\/a> and two from jimhenderson<\/a>.<\/p>\n Handbrake works a treat, is easy to install.<\/p>\n Today, still working on the asus, transferring screen-shots via pen drive to a mac for documentation, I could not see how to eject the disk, right click had no eject. I tweeted atstewart<\/a> and twowhizzy<\/a> replied. Again I had spent a few minutes googling. Again twitter was quicker.<\/p>\n My tongue is in my cheek of course, I’ve probably run dozens of google searches over the last two days which have got me what I wanted, twitter seems a good option when you can’t find what you want. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I usually think I can google with the best of them but I am coming round to thinking twitter is quicker!
