Hey, I posted a comment on your video as well. I wanted to know one thing. What is the purpose of "set -euf -o pipefail" in your script? I think I will use your script to show my webcam instead of static webcam using ffmpeg. Great work!

So I just edited this video using #kdenlive and it didn't take me long to figure out basic things. In this videos I did the following things or you can say I learned the following. How to use proxy videos? It is a simple setting in the configuration. How to import video clips from local drive? There is an option to import. Simple. Cut the clip: Use Shift + R where you have the timeline. Remove spaces: There is an option in the timeline. You can remove one space or all the spaces. I learnt how to export or render the clip. It is simple option in he menu. I learnt how to change the audio level of a clip. I learnt how to fade in, fade out and dissolve both audio and video. I learnt how to insert a title. So overall I think I spent 20m to do all that. I do have lot of experience…

I got a chance to watch the #AtlassianTeam21 #Keynote video from Mike Cannon-Brookes and I made my notes not because I have to clear an exam but I think it is always good to know what the plan is moving forward. Personally I don't really worry too much about the latest announcements from Atlassian. It is always good to know what is going to happen in near future, but I can wait and usually if you are like me - totally invested in Atlassian tools for living then I am sure you already know lot of it. I watched the video and I thought I will share my notes with all of you so you can also learn about the direction Atlassian is taking. The keynote started with of course the situation since last year and how companies used Atlassian tools to collaborate together. The COVID vaccination was…

Organisations are moving toward #JiraCloud now more than ever, apart from doing a proper Jira to Jira import many people still want to #migrate data using #csv or any other tool. I started this github repository to store sample csv files and configurations. Of course I will be making videos on it as well. https://github.com/sparxsys/sample-jira-data

One good thing that I have done (and still doing) is sharing my #Emacs and #OrgMode configurations in a form of this epic blog post https://ravi.pro/blog/blogging-with-emacs-org-mode.html and also series of videos/blog posts https://www.ravisagar.in/category/topic/emacs-and-org-mode-tutorials It takes time and effort to learn these things but I feel over the years I have created this workflow that works really well for me in organising my work and most importantly getting things done.

I enjoying updating #Drupal far more than #Jira :) Feeling relieved now. Last time I upgraded my site was in September 2020, it has been 6 months and I was hoping to update in January but never really got enough time. These are my notes that I always follow, but for Drupal 8.8.12 version there are slight changes that are mentioned on this page. For updating I used this command. composer update drupal/core "drupal/core-*" --with-all-dependencies Instead of this. composer update drupal/core-recommended --with-dependencies Finally on staging and live I used this command. composer install --no-dev Instead of this. composer install I usually do these updates on weekend and of course I follow standard dev > staging > live workflow. However I run my production site from dev branch which…

I was facing problems starting httpd on mac using brew. Took me few minutes to figure out what was the actual problem. I thought I will share if you are facing same issue as well. Starting httpd was fine. brew services start httpd ..but the httpd error log was showing errors. tail -f /usr/local/var/log/httpd/error_log Errors [Sat Apr 03 16:29:44.966179 2021] [core:error] [pid 24658] (13)Permission denied: AH00099: could not create /usr/local/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid Simple solution was to delete this httpd.pid file. rm /usr/local/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid

I am very proud of myself that I have successfully reduced my social media dependency. It started around September 2020 when something happened to me, not sure if it was an enlightenment or I was just fed up. I hardly use Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter anymore. I didn't want to quit these platforms, may be I will in future but I decided to not add/share/comment even a single thing on these platforms. I have been maintaining this site and few other blogs for close to 20 years now and that's what I will continue to do.  The reason I am writing this blog is because I wanted to share how I follow other people I want to follow. RSS feed: I still use RSS feed to get updates from limited sites. I do that on this site using the Indieweb Drupal module. This also includes twitter feed from some…

Not trying to replace spreadsheets yet but tables in #Emacs can also do calculations for you. https://ravi.pro/blog/emacs-table-calculation.html

I have been playing with Atlassian Forge for the past few weeks and so far I am really enjoying it. The app development on the cloud is quite different. Good thing is that it rely on REST API so if you have been working with it already then you won't find it difficult to learn Forge. Apart from that I am happy that I am have my own service desk has started receiving tickets. I always help clients in adopting Jira, especially service desk where usually organisations follow ITSM/ITIL practices and I feel proud that I am also doing the same. Of course my intention is really just to have a place where I manage all the requests that people send me. Weather in UK is changing. Although I don't complain too much about the weather but I certainly have changed in the last 4 years living in UK. Now…
