Sound again
I upgraded recently to Kubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty", and I made the mistake of installing PulseAudio, the "new generation" audio system for linux. What a mistake. I then spent several hours trying to get sound working again - there is a thread in the Ubuntu forums with more than 125 pages of people complaining about PulseAudio, and this is not counting the whole collection of other threads on the same topic.
Of course, if you want to uninstall PulseAudio, you have to uninstall most of KDE because of dependencies - or so it seems. I had to install first the replacement for PulseAudio (ESound, which works fine, thank you), before being able to purge the pulseaudio related packages. Except one library, which has to stay there apparently.
And now sound works again. Hurrah!

1.9 gigapixels
With the help of a new computer with 4GB of RAM I have been able to stitch very large images. My newest record is 1.9 Gigapixels, from 372 images shot over a 15 minutes span. The weather conditions were not good, and the exposures vary a bit over the image.
It took a bit more than 2 days to set up the control points (automatic and manually for some images), 1h30 to remap the images, and 23 hours to blend. I really should have bought a computer that could be upgraded to 8GB of RAM...
On the flickr page of the image I have additional details; if you want to view the full image you can do that on GigaPan.

Video + immersive panorama
Pano2VR has a new feature of interactive VR movies (or said another way, video immersive panoramas). Here is my first attempt (the video is over 3MB, please be patient if you want to enjoy it fully).
You will be travelling inside a torus made of Villarceau circles.
Click here to view the immersive video.
