Audio Bible Cloud Site

#31 Post by sszindian »

Here is a very nice bible site I hope many will find useful! Sometimes it's just nice to sit back and have someone read the bible to you... That's exactly what this site does. Especially nice for the visually impaired. You can also select your favorite version of the bible!

Printing In The Cloud

#32 Post by sszindian »

Wow... just where is cloud headed with technology???

Yes, cloud is far from being perfect but... it's getting better and better every day!

One new area... Have you ever struggled to set up that printer in a Puppy, any Puppy? Sometimes it takes hours, days, even much, much longer and sometimes, you just can't get it configured no matter how hard you try.

The 'Cloud' is going to take care of that hastle for you, and I expect you will see the day not to far off when any and all your connected hardware won't have a need for any software, drivers or whatever installed in them.

Check this link out, it's just another step taken by the 'Cloud' that will blow your mind!

Hi sszindian
I have just installed Cloud Puppy 1.0 and signed up to http://www.cloudme.com/en as you recommended. When the "cloud me" site starts up I am immediately switched to a java site which invites me to install about 20MB of download. I do not want to do this. Is there a way to get to the "cloud me" desktop etc without this download? If not, is there a similar sight that does not require this type of download? I do not want to sign up to any other site only to find I have to download and install stuff I don't want.

Regards,

Ken.

Cloud Desktops

#35 Post by sszindian »

Hi keniv!

My experience strictly... Over the years I have used many operating systems and many various programs and have always found that when I wanted a complete desktop I was at the mercy of someone who designed it thinking they knew what programs would be best for me... end result was I generally ended up using about 20% (many times less) of those so called perfect desktop programs. All the others just sit there looking pretty, taking up useless space.
With Cloud Puppy, it's much different, it comes with ONE installed program, 'A Browser.' This browser lets YOU find and create the exact type of Cloud environment you want on your system. I'll just give you one example...

'Business' To date, pretty much every other version of Puppy Linux really falls way, way short when it comes to running a small, medium or large business. With Cloud Puppy, you can turn this little bugger into a 'Full Blown Wiz Bang' business system using the Cloud Applications that are available.

So myself, I don't want a cloud desktop that someone else designed for my so-called best interest, 'I'd Rather Make My Own' to do what I want and need, finding ONE cloud program at a time.

Back on page ONE of this tread, you will find a post made by 'Lobster' In that post he has TWO URL's listed. If you click on the first one, you get a screen that looks like a regular standard Puppy desktop... If You CLICK on any of the icons on that puppy-desktop-look-alike graphic, you will be in for a surprise... Some of those icons will take you to OTHER Cloud applications (and some standard Puppy sites too) but go give it a try. One thing this shows you is that you can design Your Own Desktop (if that's what you like) and have it do whatever you want it to! His second link pretty much does the same thing only showing a browser... click on some of the browser icons and the programs listed within those icons. 'Surprise Surprise!'

Now to your question... NO, I don't know of any Cloud desktop (at least not yet) that lets you design it exactly the way you want, with the programs YOU want. But... why bother when you have the perfect little Cloud Puppy to 'Do It Your Own Way Already!'

Remember one thing keniv... All Cloud Stuff is very new and there aren't any so-called seasoned experts in this field yet. In the future, you will see many things happening, changing, invented re-invented and so forth, it sure is interesting to say the least and beats anything the computer industry has come up with to replace the 'Old Standard' computer stuff!

Hope this helps some and if anyone has any more on this subject, please jump in!

Thanks.

Adding JAVA

#39 Post by sszindian »

--------------------------------------------------

In the post by keniv, he didn't ask to install java, he said he did not want to if I read it correctly! I explained another option to him.

Now, you don't install java to the Iron Browser... java gets installed in Cloud Puppy. It is in the Puppy Package Manager under UTILITY. The name of the file is: jre-1.6.0.20 Java Runtime Envronment and it is a '36M' download and requires that you have 150M free personal savefile space to download and install it... yep, it's a big one.

To get to it...

1: Select Cloud Puppy Menu
2: Select More Apps.
3: Then In the Icon-Box select More Apps Icon.

(This shows you all the other available applications available in Cloud Puppy.)

From the list select Puppy Package Manager.

You may have to update the package manager so select 'Configure Package Manaqer' and take all the updates or at least the Puppy-Lucid update as that is where the java file you need is.

jre-1.6.0.20 installs very well in Cloud Puppy. (I use it myself).

And that's how you do it! However, you may want to build your own 'Desktop' as explained in previous posts here instead of being 'tied' to what someone else thinks you should have... That is up to you!

Hi

sszindian is quite right. I did not want to install 36MB of java stuff and I was basically asking if there was anything similar that did not require this type of install as I did not want to sign up to another site only to find this was again required. Based on his reply I have given up on "the cloud" for the moment.

Regards,

Ken.

Picture Slideshow

#46 Post by sszindian »

A nice slideshow for Cloud Puppy is here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 09&t=52660

It's called- Slideshow-1.0.pet (scroll down the forum page, it's near the bottom)

It currently points to your 'Backgrounds' and displays those but but you can change it to point to your 'Pictures' folder (you must create one and upload your pictures to it... any size pic., works) and the current setting for the delay between slides is '5' I changed that to '10' and it works very nice.


If you run into problems getting it setup, just hollar!!!

Read Barry K's blog where he had a break-in and years of work on Puppy files were stolen!

Japan and the recent sunami thousands of computers and personal information destroyed!

Mid-West U.S.A. tornadoes, family pictures found as far as 250-miles from impact, again thousands of homes destroyed, who can tell how far their computers flew before being totally wiped out along with all their personal information! Not to mention the floods there!

Now... tell me having a backup of your important files somewhere on one of the Cloud's FREE services is not a good thing! Yes, there will always be a security risk but tell me which is better... the security risk, or the possible total destruction of all your information?

Nice Free Cloud Desktop

#48 Post by sszindian »

Thanks to Lobster for this item!

If you are looking for a nice FREE Puppy Desktop-Type Application... this site shows a plain grey puppy background with a Browser-Type header. It looks like you are on a plain puppy desktop thats open in your browser (and you really are) BUT... at the top of the new desktop are some Icons, (Menu, Favorites, Install, Games) when you move your mouse on them a menu will drop down displaying loads of menu and sub-menu items to click on. It appears that most of the links work just fine.

There is also a Custom Google Search box built in this and a drop-down WWW box that takes you to some other puppy sites.

This is a good easy way to have a Cloud Desktop for your Cloud Puppy at no cost with lots of cloud applications to keep you busy!

This is one URL you may want to install in your Cloud App Starter as a permanent Icon so it's only one-click to your new desktop:

http://pupweb.org/desktop/
--------------------------------------------------
Nice place to get an Icon (Up to 20 FREE for personal use!) for the above new desktop if you're going to install it in the AppsStarter Box:

Update Cloud-Apps Pop-up Window

#49 Post by sszindian »

For those who are using Cloud Puppy-1.0 you can go get my 'Cloud Computing For Every Puppy .pet' and install it in Cloud Puppy-1.0

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69192

It will auto update your cloud-apps pop-up window with some nice cloud apps to start off with.

IMPORTANT: If you already placed some of your own favorite cloud sites in the cloud-apps pop-up, mark them down or make a print-out so you can re-enter them after you do the update!

After you up-date, you may want to try the Cloud-App 'V-Browser' it allows you to run around the Internet and NOBODY knows who you are or where you come from, your own browser can't even record your sessions history... something maybe for more secure on-line-banking?
