I decided that I like targeting palm pilots for my video podcast more than I like targeting pentiums.

I also decided that the video files that will play back on my Palm will probably also play back on my pentium MMX.

I'll find out tomorrow, probably.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I don't know of anything that still ticks the netbook boxes outside of Google's offerings.

I might be able to make some good use of that.

I use a thinkpad x220 as a daily driver. Got it used for about $100. That's the only laptop I can really speak to at the moment.

@djsundog
Ah. Well neat!

I was enamoured with them from a distance back in the day. I've never seen one up close, but I wrote several (probably pretty crappy) paper for tech and sociology classes about them when I was doing my associates.

Monitors that size and shape are just hard to find in general, it seems.

Any ideas for converting an rca-out to VGA?

Or vice versa (VGA out to rca)?

@djsundog
I was using an eeePC as my daily driver when the xo1 was first talked about, and I was in love with the display (and the promised, but I'm assuming ultimately unrealized, mesh networking.)

That's what led me to the omnibooks.

@maple That'd be fun!

I am unfortunately just one person, so I can't do any actual Live production with this setup, but I can tape a bunch of stuff and then play it back and overdub my effects.

Should be really great.

Anyway, I'm excited.

I have
- two ENG cameras,
- several actual video tape recorders,
- two rigs I've put together as pseudo Video Tape Recorders that are really just computers with BCN ins and outs and a couple of hardware buttons to play/pause/record videos (I haven't tested these thoroughly, and the code I wrote for them is less than robust, so we'll see how that goes.)
- several PVMs with inputs and outputs for watching things progress
- etc.

I can't remember if I have a copy of the video toaster software.

I'm pretty sure it's online somewhere, so I would just need to find it and get it on to my CF card.

I'll figure it out.

I just got the last piece of hardware required for me to use my Video Toaster! (it's an HDD adapter for the a2000, because for some reason I can't fathom, there's not any HDD connector on the machine.)

I'm so excited.

@yaaps @emsenn Hugo can do incremental updates, as can Jekyll.

@emsenn @yaaps Ah, yeah, I wasn't clear enough there. Sorry.

@TheOuterLinux in this case, we'd need some additional circuitry to run the LED, as the voltage coming out of this is pretty low, but I like where your head is.

@emsenn @yaaps Sure. My blog is a static site in a git repo. but I'm specifically focusing on tinkering with social posts.
