Walt Ribeiro recently has awoken me to some awesome arrangements like Pork and Beans and The RickRoll Song that he has produced. You should buy them here if you like them, as I did. Here are some nice samples:

Actually, truth be told, I bought Pork and Beans, and Walt was cool enough to notice and send me Never Gonna Give You Up for free! Please spend money on him!

Originally from here, but they took it down for some reason. It’s disturbing, but I see no reason to stop society from seeing itself.

It’s awesome – I installed Ubuntu very easily on it, and Beryl using a second monitor on the HDMI port even works without much tweaking (just enabling TwinView with the restricted nVidia driver):

I made an Ubuntu Wiki Page on the matter. All the information about what works and doesn’t is on there.

May require tweaking if using a non-standard URL root.

It’s as simple as this:


<macro:flash>/assets/2007/8/13/party.flv</macro:flash>

Or, you can make it complicated:


<macro:flash width="640" height="480">/assets/2007/8/13/party.flv</macro:flash>

Which ends up like this:

Installation

Install it from your mephisto directory:


./script/plugin install -x https://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/repos/hank/code/rails/mephisto/filtered_column_flash_video

Voila! Firebreathing!
