Libvirt, spice and copy’n’paste

I use virtual machines a lot on my laptop, and copy’n’pasting between host and VM doesn’t work out-of-the-box. It turns out to be simple.

Ansible introduction

In this blog post, I will go though what ansible is and what it can be used for.

FAAST tux racer

I have made a new tech template. It is about combining the kinect with Tux racer. I have read about people doing it, so I decided to do it myself also, and it is cool and immersive.

We are relying on FAAST, which is a windows-only program. It works by generating keyboard and mouse event, so it should work with almost any software. Using off-the-shelf software and combine them with a kinect without doing any coding – that is so cool. I did not find anything on linux that does this, perhaps we will implement it ourselves (i.e. get some of the students to code it)

The tech template is located on github. Feedback is always welcome
