Klaatu sits down for coffee with Chess Griffin to talk about sbopkg, SlackBuilds, getting Slack, openBSD, ports, Linux Reality, life, and time. Klaatu tried a new phone recorder during this very important interview, resulting in what longtime Bad Apple fans will consider as sub-optimal audio quality. Files are encoded at a higher sample rate than usual to compensate.
Klaatu talks about liveCDs that he's tried lately, weighs in on the maemo moblin meego and mer issue, and does a howto set up gitorious and your local git clone for your own project. He takes some listener feedback from people like Jim and Thoth and other random listeners, and talks a bit about Slackermedia.
In this week's exciting episode, Klaatu apologizes for threatening to kill the speex feed and begs his kind listeners for forgiveness and mercy, he talks about the mystery that is the mbox format plus a handy mbox converter tool called formail (part of the procmail package). He covers how to set up an FTP server with vsFTPd. And finally he talks about his recent speexenc tests and what he's found out about the major speexenc flags.
Klaatu brings us a blast from the past, playing an old Gort segment from season 1, about webcam security, apropos now more than ever, in light of the recent US school district that was caught spying on their students via their Macbooks. This Gort segment teaches you (or your mac-using friends) how to hunt down the webcam driver in Mac OS and remove it so that the webcam cannot be activated without your knowledge. Klaatu also examines how the free software philosophy encourages understanding computers as opposed to how proprietary software encourages people to not even think about their computer or what might be happening behind the scenes...like spying webcams. Klaatu then talks about how to get your favourite free software on openSolaris via openCSW, and howto get animated desktop backgrounds for Fluxbox. He then takes listener feedback; he talks about why the Windows Registry sucks, technically, about dockapps.org (and gives the wrong URL for it so please see the links below), Blender 2.5 alpha, meego, Off The Wall and an article in 2600 by sigflup, and a windows virus.

And finally he talks about HOWTO use your mail spool system to send and receive email using apps with fancy acronyms like MTA, MDA, and MUA. And finally, he thanks Enigma from Hacker Public Radio for providing a new, easy URL for the show.
Klaatu talks about RSS and XML and schemas and stuff, FossCon, and listener feedback.
HOWTO get foreign characters using xmodmap and .Xmodmap on GNU Linux. Klaatu reads listener feedback and discusses things like 'the eeePC reviewed after two years' and speexenc and Audacity samplerate settings, feh vs. fbsetbg, and more.
HOWTO configure Fluxbox. Klaatu reviews the Great GNU+Linux Multimedia Spring of 2010; the links to the results of that are forthcoming.
Klaatu provides audio documentation on how to get emacspeak running on Linux, using Slackware as the base, but the instructions apply pretty much to any Linux system with ALSA, TCL, and TK. He reads listener feedback.
HOWTO use stand-alone soft synths with a DAW via JACK. Klaatu uses Qsynth, QJackCtl, and Qtractor as an example scenario but the information applies broadly across most computer music environments. Klaatu also talks a bit about Chess Griffin's mashpodder, reads some listener feedback, and steals back his identity from the evilness that is microblogging.
Klaatu talks about the Rockbox GUI installer, Linux laptops, Linux in Hollywood, the new website courtesy snackMachineB, the new speex feed courtesy xiph and monsterb of titradio, KDE, the controversial winners of the TLLTS tshirt contest, listener feedback, and a bit more.
