Fun with Linux (Ubuntu) Cheese and webcam
As in “Say Cheese”. Cheese is a little application that can be installed into Ubuntu from the software repository. Versions are available for all Linux applications. It lets you do little snapshots like a photo booth, or video clips using your webcam. A few effects are available. I particularly like the black and white effect, which makes digital pictures much more edit friendly (I used Gimp). Valuable for checking out a webcam. Useful for taking handfuls of candid shots for one you may with to include on, say, a blog post. And just plain fun.
