February 10, 2007 - I know my place

Filed under: Advocacy, Computing, FLOSS — Tony @ 5:25 pm

Following Alan’s recent blog post I decided to pull my finger out and do what I’ve been meaning to do for a while, and write a parody of the “Three men on class” sketch from the Frost Report but for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. I’ve mirrored the structure of the original sketch very closely and now present my first public draft in PDF format (3.2KB). It is a work in progress and I’d love constructive comments.

It would be cool to get some people together and film it, too.

  1. Tony, this looks excellent so far. Good work, my friend. By the way, from a ridiculously geeky angle: are you using LaTeX to write that script and if so, are you using some kind of clever script-writing template?

  2. I used Blyte which I’ve been playing with for a while now. It’s a GPL screenwriting package written in Python: http://www.oskusoft.com/blyte.shtml

  3. Perhaps your sketch could be performed at LRL2007? ;-)
