Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?

by John Stoffel

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

Announce: UPDATE: WLUG Meeting Thu 2/20 7PM: Software Defined Radio

by Chuck Anderson

Hi folks, Due to the weather this week, I've rescheduled this month's WLUG meeting for the following week, Thursday, February 20 at 7:00 PM, in the WPI Campus Center, Hagglund Room 301. Our speaker this month will be Andy Stewart, who founded WLUG in 1997 and now runs the Chelmsford Linux Meetup. Andy plans to talk about software defined radio on Linux, and with luck, do a live demonstration of gqrx: http://gqrx.dk/ If there is time, Andy *might* be able to show something related to the GNU Radio Companion, where one can build a software defined radio just by drawing the blocks and connecting them with lines. Thursday, February 20, 7:00 - 9:00 PM WPI Campus Center, Hagglund Room 301 This room is the one across the hall from our usual room, and is where we had the meeting with Jim Getty's on Bufferbloat. After the meeting, we will go out for pizza. See you there, Chuck President, Worcester Linux Users' Group http://www.wlug.org/

Video Editing

by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com

Anyone do any video editing? I've tried using pitivi to edit videos. It usually crashed. Recently I tried putting a series of images in and creating a video. I successfully created a video once. Now everytime I seem to create a file without any video content. The video isn't going to be long or good. I was showing my son how lego stop animation is done. I only did a 8 images and they aren't perfectly aligned. I used a small tripod but press the picture button must have moved the camera a bit. Probably need to use video and screen capture images so I don't touch the camera. The images also have slightly different light levels. If anyone has suggestions on fixing the images to be consistent let me know.

Thursday snow storm? Possible reschedule?

by Tim Keller

The weather people (who are using super computers running linux) are currently claiming that we're going to be getting heavy snow on Thursday night. I don't think WLUG has ever had this scenario... What's our game plan? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
