Wordie

Posted by on Jan 8, 2007 | 10 Comments

Discovered Wordie through Wall Street Journal. The site provides a playground for making lists of words. How do you have fun with word lists? Logophiles and other folks are having sharing words they love, hate, find fun to say – whatever else tickles their fancies. Every word comes with links to a diversity of dictionaries.

Comments are included, but unfortunately not many leave comments. I’d love to hear their thoughts about the word. It’d be nice if a link to comments would appear in the reference list for each word. The hard part is finding users who have created their own lists – not just lists of words, but word lists. That didn’t make sense, did it? For example, edwardvielmetti has over 800 words plus a handful of other lists such as 1982, scrap words, what does that word mean?, words ending in ball, words from my to do list. Now that’s interesting.

I chose this for today’s entry as I needed to do something fast with all the work I need to do. So much for that – I find myself trying to explore the Wordie site deeper. I can see how this could get addicting. My mind is blank as I try to come up with entries for hateful business words.

If you have or create a Wordie account, post it here with a link. My list is puny, but it’s a start. Got word annoyances or words that you love to say? Share them.

    I use OpenShot about a year now and I love it’s simplicity. What I hate though is the lack of utillization of my multicore proccessor when rendering/extracting the project into a video.
    On the other hand Kdenlive is more powerfull but the whole kde dependencies is… F£$%
    What I would like to ask you, is there any editor for linux that can use multicore systems when rendering/extracting the video ?? Can Kdenlive do that or any other?

    I prefer Kdenlive, it offers better quality, but is like Sony Vegas, clunky and hard to use. Openshot is much cleaner and use friendly.

    Of course, a bigger plus would be to use a distro set up to handle video editing (and more). I’ve installed Ubuntu Studio, giving plenty of room to certain directories by putting them on separate partitions. It comes with the RT (Real Time) kernel for low latency and is generally set up for several different video/audio/etc. tasks.

    And of course, you’ll be able to install other software titles available.
