I got Episode 088 uploaded. It’s a whopper too. This was the first time that I recorded in Ubuntu using 26fps instead of my typical 15fps. The quality of the video was much nicer but at a cost of a larger file size (215MB).  Fortunately, the FLV was smaller so if you would like to download the FLV instead of the AVI then you can grab that from our video repo at http://screencasters-repo.heathenx.org. Unless I can figure something out I’ll be moving back to 15fps with my future screencasts. I expected the file size to be a bit larger but not nearly twice as big. Of course, this was a pretty long screencast – close to 50 minutes long.

I would like to extend some thanks to Stefan for giving us the idea for this screencast and Richard for a tip on the curved text. Also, I saved myself a lot of time by using the Bezier Envelope extension written by Gerrit Karius. If you long for a better envelope effect in Inkscape then give this thing a try. It works rather well.
