Ever since I shifted to Linux, I’ve been trying to find a way to make Cakewalk run in Memphis using Wine. After a few months of sporadic research and experimentation, I gave up. But surprise, surprise! I discovered I didn’t need to run Cakewalk after all.
I’ve read about Rosegarden before but I have never really taken it seriously because until recently, I haven’t been able to play MIDI files in Memphis anyway. (By the way, Rosegarden is a music-writing program– or a MIDI sequencer that has music-writing capabilities– similar to Cakewalk, which I used to make the pieces in the Original Music section.) However, a couple of days ago I suddenly felt the urge to read up on Rosegarden as I feel that I will need to write new pieces in the near future.

It was just going to be a routine install of Internet Explorer 7 via IEs4Linux but when I logged in to my administrator account, the red star of the update notifier appeared. I thought it was just a prompt for some software upgrade but when I clicked it, the dialogue box said that an operating system upgrade was available. Tempting. I confirmed it and the update manager began scanning Memphis. It took only a couple of minutes, which is very good since I had been working for most of the night and I really wanted to get some sleep.
When the manager was done scanning, it told me that Memphis was ready for an upgrade from Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 to Feisty Fawn 7.04 and that, considering my internet connection, it will probably take some eight hours to complete. Good then, I can sleep as it downloads the required packages and that by the time it’s done, I’d have slept fully. But sleep was not meant to be.

When I blogged about my new toy the Sony DCR-DVD 105, I didn’t expect it to be a support forum of sorts for this device. Visitors have posted comments and asked different questions regarding this camcorder and other video related stuff. Recently, one of the visitors asked me about video editors. So I decided to do some research and put up a list of free video editing software or programs for Windows.
