Soon there will be no where left to hide in London Town. The city is quickly becoming one giant WiFi hotspot, just as mayor Boris Johnson promised. Its iconic red phone boxes, the Thames, the Underground and even a minicab company have all been hooked up with free wireless. Now a plan has been approved to turn every famous black cab into a rolling 802.11 beacon. Company Eyetease has received approval from Transport for London to equip the vehicles with WiFi antennas that will provide 15 minutes of free high-speed data in exchange for sitting through a 15-second commercial. As the cabs ride through the city, the on board router will dynamically switch between 3G and 4G networks to maintain a constant connection. And, in an effort to get cab drivers hooked for the early 2013 launch, the CabWiFi service will provide special driver accounts that provide unlimited and commercial free service. The only thing left to do is figure out what it says about the city that its residents can’t go 15 minutes in a cab without high speed internet access. Maybe you can Google it at the next red light.

So last week I finally got a Raspberry Pi motherboard and I have to say I am very impressed. I have a distro of Debian running at the moment called Raspbian “wheezy” which runs like a dream.

The only thing I was worried about is that the board comes with no case, this is of course to keep the price at £25 which is amazing in its self. So to give the board a little protection I thought I’d buy/make a case for it, and by the title of this post you can guess I found one and it is FREE \o/

Back in July 15, 2010 I posted an article about called Top 10 Free online Proxy Websites to access facebook and Youtube. Now this was in 2010 and some if not all of these sites are now not in existence.

I have had so many emails asking for me to update this list, so here you are:

What is a Proxy?

A proxy or proxy server is basically another computer which serves as a hub through which internet requests are processed. By connecting through one of these servers, your computer sends your requests to the proxy server which then processes your request and returns what you were wanting. In this way it serves as an intermediary between your home machine and the rest of the computers on the internet. Proxies are used for a number of reasons such as to filter web content, to go around restrictions such as parental blocks, to screen downloads and uploads and to provide anonymity when surfing the internet.

Why use a Proxy?

If you are wanting to surf the web anonymously then proxies can provide you with a means to hide your home IP address from the rest of the world. By connecting to the internet through proxies, the home IP address of your machine will not be shown but rather the IP of the proxy server will be shown. This can provide you with more privacy then if you were simply connecting directly to the internet. There are number of proxies that can provide you with service. You can find a list of these simply by typing “Proxy List” into any search engine. There are some proxies which are free and some which charge money, the choice is up to you but we have found that the paid proxies are more reliable, faster and more secure.

Believe it or not, there are several distributions of Linux intended for use by children as young as 3 years old. Child-oriented Linux distros tend to have a simplified interface with large, “chunky”, colorful icons and a specialized set of programs designed with kids in mind. Some of the better-known distributions aimed at children include:

  • Sugar, the operating system designed for the One Laptop Per Child project. Sugar is a radical departure from traditional desktops, with a strong emphasis on teaching programming skills, but is very strongly geared towards classroom use. Although I’m pretty comfortable using Linux, I’m afraid Sugar might be too different for me to help my nephew and niece make use of it.
  • Edubuntu is based on the popular Ubuntu distribution. Designed to be easy to install and very Windows-like in its operation, Edubuntu would be my first choice if I were using newer hardware. With its rich graphical interface, though, I worry that these years-old PCs, neither of which have graphic cards, will lag running Edubuntu. And given kids’ attention spans, I’m afraid that would be a major barrier to getting them to use it.
  • LinuxKidX uses a KDE-based desktop highly customized for children, and is based on the Slackware distro. The only drawback for me is that most of the support material is in Portuguese (although the distro I linked to is in English), making it hard for me to be confident about my ability to help if there are any problems.
  • Foresight for Kids is based on Foresight Linux, a distro distinguished by the use of the Conary package manager. Conary is intended to make updates and dependencies much easier to manage than other package managers – in English, it should be easier to install and update software.  On the other hand, finding software packaged for the Conary installer might be a challenge, though I expect the most popular programs are being adapted by the Foresight team.
  • Qimo is another system based on Ubuntu, but designed to be used by a single home user instead of in classroom instruction. The system requirements are fairly low, since it’s designed to be run on donated equipment which Qimo’s parent organization, QuinnCo, distributes to needy kids.

Given the low specs of the equipment I”m working with, Qimo seems idea for me, but since most of these will run from either a Live CD or a USB memory key, there’s no reason not to download them all and give each a try to see what you – and, more importantly, your kids – like best.

Linux Software for Kids

In addition to the kid-friendly interface, all of the distributions above come with an assortment of software that’s either designed especially for kids or has special appeal for kids. This includes specifically educational software intended to teach math, typing, art, or even computer programming; typical productivity applications like word processors and graphics programs; and, of course, games. Of course, Linux doesn’t have nearly the range of games that are available for Windows PCs, but my thinking is, the games are good enough for younger kids, and older kids will gravitate towards consoles (my brother and sister-in-law have a Wii).

Some of the software available for kids includes:

  • GCompris, a set of over 100 educational games intended to teach everything from basic computer use to reading, art history, telling time, and vector drawing.
  • Childsplay is another collection of games, with an emphasis on memory skills.
  • TuxPaint, an amazing drawing program filled with fun sound effects and neat effects.
  • EToys is a scripting environment, more or less. The idea is that kids solve problems by breaking them down into pieces, scripting them, and running their scripts – the same way programmers do. But the goal doesn’t seem to be to teach programming but rather to provide an immersive learning environment in which kids learn foundational thinking skills.
  • SuperTux and Secret Maryo are Super Mario clones, because kids love Super Mario. You already know that.
  • TomBoy, a wiki-like note-taking program.
  • TuxTyping, a typing game intended to help develop basic typing skills.
  • Kalzium is a guide to the periodic table and a database of information about chemistry and the elements. Great for older students.
  • Atomix, a cool little game where kids build molecules out of atoms.
  • Tux of Math Command is an arcade game that helps develop math skills.

Not all distros come with all of these games, but they are easy enough to install from the online repositories if your chosen distro doesn’t come with one or more of them. Of course, most distros also come with standard Linux programs like OpenOffice.org (an Office-like suite of productivity apps), AbiWord (a Word-like word processor), GIMP (a powerful image editor), Pidgin (a multi-account IM client), and Firefox.

Linux is a complex operating system, but it’s also a highly customizable one – for kids, that means a system that can grow as they do and a powerful learning environment. Of course, children’s computer use should not be totally unsupervised – any kid can stumble across Web content that might be pretty uncomfortable for mom and dad to have to explain – but kids should have a chance to explore the possibilities of today’s technology and get their hands dirty, like kids do. And worst-case scenario – your 6-year old borks the operating system and you re-install. Wouldn’t you rather it was on the Edubuntu system, rather than on your mission-critical work PC? (Make sure you back up the /home directory regularly so you don’t lose all your kids’ drawings, poems, stories, or whatever.)

 

Ubuntu version 11.04 is out now and it has new features which makes it easier to use. The new version was released on Thursday and its unofficial name is ‘Natty Narwhal’. There is a new unity interface added and the most noticeable change here is located on the screen’s left side. It is quite similar to the taskbar of Windows 7 and you can drag and drop the icons to and from it. The apps can also be launched easily and quickly.

Unity interface was made originally for the smaller Netbook screens and it gives you easier file management. It also has new dashboard for easier access to the files and applications and Workspaces which make managing multiple windows easier. There’s always the Classic interface of Ubuntu if you don’t like these new elements.

You will be able to connect iPhone to Ubuntu for navigating the file system but there is no support for Android phones here. It is said that the new version also works well with Ubuntu One, a cloud based service. You can sync your files and preferences in cloud.

So do you miss something on migration to Ubuntu? For us, we don’t use it all the time because there isn’t any speech recognition software here like the Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Apart from that, there isn’t any program of easy text completion which can fill a big amount of the boilerplate text by few hotkeys. If someone would create such apps for Ubuntu, we’d definitely be interested.

The positives of Ubuntu include an OS that is free from any worms and virus. Also it is an open-source OS so you don’t have to pay anything for it. Ubuntu has one compelling aspect, its customizability. Compiz is one of our favorite tools for graphical customization and it is enabled with wild graphical transitions between the window and application movements. The best effects are the virtual 3D desktops and windows that’ll wobble and bend when you shake them.

One cool Ubuntu characteristic is that you can download the 698 image, then burn it to a disc and then run it from the CD itself without installing it on your machine. It is a great way for trying out this Linux based OS (operating system) that is getting pretty refined and it is almost as easy to use as PC or Mac.

You can download the latest Ubuntu version from here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

Today, Evernote for Windows got its most significant update in months. The big news is sharing.

The applications below may do more than just allow you to voice chat—many also allow you to call telephone numbers or video chat. We are evaluating these apps based on their user friendliness and quality of audio. On to our contenders!

Fring

The only exclusively mobile app on our list, Fring is a cross-platform app that allows you to call other Fring users and outbound telephone service via FringOut. It also has plugins for many other platforms including Google Talk and Skype. One of the more interesting applications I see with Fring is SIP compatibility, which allows you to interconnect with many other phone services for cheap calling rates, or to use it as an office extension.

Google Voice

The Google Voice service (via Google Talk) is another excellent voice chatting service. Google launched their voice service in 2009 after purchasing GrandCentral. After integrating it with the existing Google service, Google then offered free chat service (between Google Talk users) and also to regular phone numbers through Google Voice. It is easy to access through your web browser, and you simply dial the number you wish to call. You can also request an inbound number to forward to a number of your other voice chat devices.

Mumble

Muble is an open source voice chat application that is geared towards gamers and is optimized for low latency. Once you and your friends are in-game, Mumble interacts with the game to provide positional audio – meaning that it will make it sound like your friends voice is coming from a specific direction. You must have a server for each Mumble client to connect to.

Skype

Skype is one of the oldest voice chat apps, having started in 2003. Fast forward to today, Skype now has about 18 million people online at any moment in time. The basic Skype features are free – you can call to any other user with both voice and video for free. If you pay for it you can also buy Skype credits which allow you to call internationally for a minimum fee. Skype continually adds new features to their product.

Ventrilo

Another application that is geared towards gamers, Ventrilo is a low-latency and efficient voice chat application. It is very lightweight and runs in the background. Ventrilo uses a client-server architecture and you can either run one on your own connection or rent one – many game hosting providers also provide a Ventrilo server.

Five Best VoIP or Voice Chat Apps

Mumble

Muble is an open source voice chat application that is geared towards gamers and is optimized for low latency. Once you and your friends are in-game, Mumble interacts with the game to provide positional audio – meaning that it will make it sound like your friends voice is coming from a specific direction. You must have a server for each Mumble client to connect to.
