Geolocalized tasks in Getting Things Gnome!
For the past two/three days I’ve been fighting with video in linux to make a screencast. I found out that recordmydesktop didn’t work in any of my computers (it was always so slow!). I finally got it to work in a old laptop, a compaq evo n1020v and was able to record the plugin working.
After that I had another challenge, to edit the four small videos into the final video and finally to be able to use the html5 video tag I had to add the ogg mime types to apache’s config.
Well.. the result was this video (still a little sluggish, the next one will be better):
For those that don’t have a html5 compatible browser, here is the youtube link or the direct link to the ogg video.
There are still some glitches in the plugin but in a general way it works ok. More features are coming soon!
That looks incredibly cool !
However, I’m wondering: why even associate a location to a tag ?
I would have seen tags and locations as two orthogonal ways of classifying tasks.
For example, I might have the tag @Work, and have tasks that I could do only when I’m physically at work while others could be done at home (for those lucky people who can work from home
Good stuff !!!!
What application do you use for editing the video?
You might give Istanbul (http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul), it’s a pretty awesome tool. Great looking work!
Last time I was doing screencasts I found that gtk-recordmydesktop seems to be totally screwed, but qt-recordmydesktop works fine (yes, even if your desktop is GNOME). YMMV.
Thanks for all the tips!
I’ll try qt-recordmydesktop the next time!
I also tried Istanbul but it had exactly the same problem as recordmydesktop.

David, I used kdenlive. I searched for some gtk app’s to do the same but kdenlive is great and easy to use.
If anyone knows a gtk app equivalent to kdenlive.. let me know.
