Ever seen a cool movie on the Internet? embedded in flash, unable to download it? who haven’t..

Solution is quite simple and here is it quick for you: Open a page with flash. Wait till it’s completely downloaded, then fetch if from /tmp/.

A longer explanation would be to a youtube page and load the entire movie like so:

When you see the movie has loaded fully, without interruptions from the user (you). You can find it in /tmp/:

Now you just copy it to where ever you’ll like. If you want to convert it, you can open it with avidemux or Kino and then export it to .mpeg or whatever format you’d want.

Using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i "/tmp/Flash8CRIFL" "mechanical hand.mpeg"

Got my new printer today. Shortly after unpacking it I hooked it up and setup it on my windows-partition. Basically because I didn’t have time to see if HP or anyone else had setup software for it on Linux.

The cool thing about this cheap printer is WiFi. It has WLAN which can be turned physically on/off. After it was connected to my network, I did like 5 mouse-clicks and the printer was wirelessly installed in Ubuntu.

Scanning did also work (in Ubuntu) wirelessly, which was pretty cool. It’s a joy to see Ubuntu managing these things just as good and in my opinion; easyer than windows.

Thumbs up for HP Photosmart C4380. Don’t be frighten to buy, even if you’re a tux.
