First, one has to download the Lecturnity Jar File. Then, i wrote this small shell-script (i called it "lecturnity-player") to start the lecturnity player with parameters:

#!/bin/sh

JAR="player170p6.jar"

# check Java Home and set it if not available (Gentoo-Version)
if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" -o "$JAVA_HOME" = "" ]
then
        JAVA_HOME=`java-config --jre-home`
fi

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar /opt/lecturnity/$JAR $@

If $JAVA_HOME is already set on your system (echo $JAVA_HOME) you don't need the JAVA_HOME-Check. chmod the File executable: chmod u+x lecturnity-player Then you can play lecturnity Files with lecturnity-player /path/to/file.lpd. One Remark: It is not possible to player the Video Versions under Linux (at least it does not work here, it simply plays them without Video). Using this with Firefox: Click on a link to a Lecturnity File and choose lecturnity-player in the "run with" Dialog. Then Lecturnity Files will automatically play when you click on a link (takes some time to start the player).

K: I threw the butter out of the window. Do you know why?
C: hm?

K: You always sleep longer than all of us. Do you know why?

On 29th of January Tobias held his Disputation about his Thesis "Potentials and Limitations of Visual Methods for the Exploration of
Complex Data Structures". The talk was very interesting and although Tobias was very nervous at the beginning he made it (in my opinion) very good.
I took some pictures of the "Event" which you can see at the AD Gallery.
