I normally buy and sell things using my computer, so today I see how that works using my iPod touch instead. I find the eBay app to be good for buying but limited for selling. When I get stuff in the mail we can have an unboxing video!
Today’s challenge was to create a new website from scratch using the iPod touch. Using the Safari web browser, installing WordPress was easy, but customizing it on the touch screen is a pain.
This will be an experiment to see what I can do with just an iPod touch 4G. All of my computers are getting boxed up for the week and we shall see how the iPod works as a pocket sized computer!
Step by step instructions on how to respond to a YouTube video with a video of your own. We show you three ways:
1. Send one of your existing YouTube videos as a response.
2. Record a live response from your computer’s webcam.
3. Upload a video file that was recorded with a digital camera.
Do you have any questions? Ask in the comment section below. If you have never done this before, then go ahead and try it out! It’s fun!
Trying out YouTube’s Record From Webcam feature that lets you create a live video from your laptop computer. In this case I am using my System76 Serval Pro running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. A nice computer, with a crappy “eyeshot” webcam.
This shows you the process step-by-step to install Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 Lucid Lynx Netbook Edition, onto your net-book without using an optical CD drive. The netbook I have here is a Hewlet-Packard 2133.
In my example, the USB flash drive is created with Ubuntu. If you have a Mac, you can use Disk Utility. For Windows, there’s probably a way but you’re on your own there (Tell me in the comments if you know how.)
