| leyendo mi revista spectrum me crucé con este articulito, así que mirenlo hahaha y piensen si han encontrado su proyecto para fin de año. Y para todos los electrónicos de la PUCP el barbot de la pucp ya se hizo hace años barbots solo pueden ser proyectos personales. En días como hoy en los que me siento un poco depresivo leer un poco sobre barbots me levanta el ánimo y me hace pensar en nuevos diseños, yo he pensado en que el peruano debería hacer pisco sour, pero en realidad creo que con que haga chilcano de pisco es por donde debería de empezar!. Quien dijo manos a la obra? avisenme y le metemos | Reading Spectrum I ran into this article, so there watch it now haha, now think if you not found your end of the year personal project!. And for all the EE majors of the PUCP the barbot was done long ago at the university so is not suitable for Proyecto 2. On days when i feel depress reading about barbots cheer me up and makes me think about designs, perhaps the peruvian barbot should make pisco sour but we should probably start with the Chilcano first XD. Who wants to start now? let me know !!! |

| Louise Fresco hablando sobre la cadena de alimentos, sobre el pan y sobre los agricultores, ojalá los políticos se dieran cuenta de estas cosas y empezaran a masificar proyectos para la mejora de la calidad de vida de estas personas tan importantes. | Louise Fresco talking about the chain of food, about bread and about farmers, I wish the Politicians realize that we should make masive plans to develop and improve the quality of life of this people |

well I have a logitech camera on my computer and I found this way to solve it I had the green screan so I guess that I should share
If you're using the Jaunty edition of Ubuntu (9.04) you'll find that Skype video may not work due to a compatibility issue with the video libraries. I'll assume that anyone reading this is a complete Linux novice, so please excuse any oversimplifications if you're not.
To test this you'll need to bring up a terminal window (Applications | Accessories | Terminal) and type the following at the prompt (you may need to enter your administration password):
sudo gstreamer-properties
Select the Video tab and test the default input. If you get video then your webcam is fine, and you'll need to create a small script to start Skype with a compatibility library. If you don't, then refer to the Ubuntu forums for more help. Close the applet and type the following in the terminal:
sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/skype
This brings up a (probably blank) editor, copy the following lines into it
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
and then save it. You'll need to make this executable so just type the following into the terminal
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/skype
That's it, close the terminal. If you start Skype from your usual menu shortcut it should start up and if you navigate to your video settings and test them they should now work. If they don't then you're back to the Ubuntu forums.
