Adobe Air on Ubuntu 11.04 x64

I was having a devil of a time trying to get TweetDeck to even install under Ubuntu 11.04 until I came across this fantastic tutorial by deepok1968 on YouTube. The problem boils down to the Adobe Air installer not being all that happy with x64 systems in its native state.

AGP Episode 007 Released

Geeks.  Aussie Geeks.

The long awaited seventh installment of the Aussie Geek Podcast is released.  This should be the last time I edit and post-produce a show for a while.  I have enjoyed it, and learned a whole lot about podcast post-production, and even about this show that I’ve been a part of for the last 18 months.

This week on the show we covered some economics including Yahoo! layoffs, iPhone sales and the effects of the tech slowdown on startups in Europe.

We also touched on an app to moderate WordPress comments from your desktop and a graphics package to create stunning high dynamic range (HDR) images which works on all platforms.

At the end of the show we’ve got the first in a series of musical appearances by the Lizards from Afar, and the show closes out with a blooper segment that’s sure to make Dave retalliate in episode 8.

Go have a listen to the Aussie Geek Podcast #007 :: Armchair Economists.  Better yet subscribe to the show in iTunes or directly via the show feed.
