Description
Summary:
A simple tour of the various gadgetry and open source software I pressed into service to record video and audio of these fine PLUG talks for those folks who can't attend the meeting. The tools are just stuff I had laying about and repurposed into a frankensteinesque portable video streaming studio. Software discussed: OBS Studio, Audacity, Kdenlive, cURL, Bash shell scripting. Hardware: GoPro Hero 13, Macbook Pro 2017, Yeti Blue USB microphone.
Bio:
Ed wanted to be a chemist ever since he burned holes in the kitchen table with his Gilbert Chemistry Set (he still has the experiment card deck). As the personal computer revolution took off and became a laboratory tool, he learned few programming languages; some just for the fun of it (BASIC, C, FORTRAN, COBOL, Assembly). He converted to shareware and open source software for every day tasks (well, games really...). As a hobby and a side hustle, he built new rebuilt old computers from recycled parts before it was cool to do so. An acolyte of Linux for nigh on 30+ years now, his preferred operating system of choice: Slackware64 Linux.
