Every now and then I want to download or play a (fragment of a) YouTube video.
This is what I use to grab the video as music: YouTube to MP4 & MP3 Converter and Video Download – ClipConverter.cc
Then I use Audacity to create fragments.

IRC so: »i> Isotopp: Ich habe jetzt nen Mac als Arbeitsplatzrechner… Was will man als UNIX Hacker zuerst an Tools installieren?«
Source: IRC so: »i> Isotopp: Ich habe jetzt nen Mac als Arbeitsplatzrechner… Was will… by Kristian Köhntopp.
Since G+ is very bad at searching, I created this summary of the tools; read the full G+ post (Google Translate is quite OK), including comments on why.
Edit: 20160402 – I’m posting regular updates based on the comments for that G+ post. I’ve changed or added German iTunes store links to US-English ones.

Linux-Based Low-Latency Multichannel Audio System (CTAG face2|4)
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/24
Just wow (via Joe C. Hecht):
Linux-Based Low-Latency Multichannel Audio System (CTAG face2|4)
We’ve developed a multichannel audio system based on the AD1938 audio codec by Analog Devices and the BeagleBone Green (TI AM335X SoC).The audio system offers 2 stereo inputs and 4 stereo outputs.The whole project is based on open source software.To demonstrate the possibilities of the audio system, I’ve created a surround delay effect with the open source C++ library DSPatch by Marcus Tomlinson.Moreover I’ve created an automatic test based on GNU octave to evaluate the audio system characteristis, such as latency, THD+N, DNR, crosstalk and frequency-response.

Spoken @ CodeRage III, December 1-5, 2008 on Delphi, database and XML related topics
Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/24
At the CodeRage III on-line virtual conference, I have done 4 sessions. 
For me, it was the first time speaking at conference done this way.
A few things were different:
- Sessions were 45 minutes presenting in stead of the normal 60 minutes
- The main body of the session was pre-recorded, the 15 minute Q&A was live
- I had to learn Camtasia
- The broadcasts were done through LiveMeeting
