HighTechSister Studio Tour

Some of the sites that I like most are the ones that show artists or programmers workspaces. I don’t know why, I just like seeing where people do their work. So here are a few pictures of my workspace.
This picture basically shows my main desk. This is where I do most of my work. I have a 24” Dell monitor and a 19” Acer monitor. I use the two screens as one big desktop. Doing this with screens of different sizes has become much easier with the release of Hardy 8.04. My desktop computer is an Alienware. I also have a smaller desk where I usually have my two laptops (thinkpads T23 & A21m). They are older laptops that I use mostly for programming. They are reliable and everything works easily on them. In the corner is my easel; I like to paint also.
This is just another picture of the laptop workstation and the tv & dvd recorder are what I use when editing my drawing videos sometimes.
I have some other sites where I post my drawings. This is my drawing area.
Well that’s about it. Also here is a video I put together. The quality isn’t that great. I’m just learning about video so bear with me. Editing video in linux can also be somewhat of a challenge since it doesn’t have the array of easy to use software that some of the other operating systems have. But I am learning to use the available tools. Specifically this video was mostly put together in Kino.
*Tip - if your camera connects through firewire and you are having trouble using Kino or other software to get the video off the camera. Try doing the following.
Execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo chmod 777 /dev/1394
This essentially makes it so the everyone and every application has full access to the device.
Each digit in 777 is a binary representation of (read,write,execute)
111 (7) - The owner of the file or directory can read, write, and execute.
111 (7) - Members in the group to which the file or directory belong can read, write, and execute.
111 (7) - Everyone no matter the group can read, write, and execute.
