Embrace The Penguin on Songpull
by Jim Herrmann 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

The song "Embrace the Penguin" is up on songpull.com. http://songpull.com/performance/view_video/380 Now that the video is posted, I will get an Ardour recording done, and get that all posted. Then I plan to Slashdot it. You get to see the video first! Check it out and see if we can raise it's ranking to make the front page of Songpull.com. Share it with all your geek friends all over the world. Enjoy, Jim Herrmann

iCalendar presenter
by Jonathan Hutchins 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

I need to find a way to present an iCalendar file on a web server as a nicely rendered calendar. Ideally we'd have a monthly clalendar view, with items in the box for each day, and be able to get details on each item. Does anybody know of something like this?

>Did you read in the technical description how they can not only generate >light pulses but also light that has different spectrums (colors). With >that in mind they now have the ability to build a transistor that can >have numerous gate states. Base3, Base6 and Base9 are all possible with >this. Yes, I did read it carefully, several times. But I did not notice what you pointed out, and am glad you saw it. This really opens the sky even more than it first appeared, because now, electrical flow has multiple "flavors" as well as current, voltage, &tc. They really have discovered something larger than any single team of people can explore. Note also that they described the invention as having "3 ports: Ground, amplifier, and light-emitting." You might think that _this_ number three has nothing to do with the ternary conversation we just finished, but in fact, the order of "ground, amplifier, and light-emitting" is a perfect way to express the three poles in their natural relationship to one another. Thus far we've been talking about 1, 0, and -1. But when you extend the structure into analog, you start talking about things like "ground, amplifier, and light-emitting." For example, Hegelian dialectics is another way of looking at the relationship of these three positions. First there is the declaration and then there is an opposing response, and then arising from these two, there is a third "declaration" which is composed of insights derived from the spectrum revealed by the first two. Ground, amplifier, and light-emitting, if you're able to see the poetic insight weaving all of this together. It's exciting to see that the very newest technology in transistor development is not only light-generating, but tripolar in structure. -Jared

Security Video
by Jonathan Hutchins 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

A client of mine wants to post video clips from his home system to his colocated web host. Right now he's thinking of taking ten minute clips and uploading them with a cron job, but it seems to me there are better ways. Base system hosting the camera is an OS-X Mac, server is Linux. Suggestions or pointers to good resources for this kind of thing (web-based video security) would be appreciated.

Emacs taken too far

I'll admit that occasionally I fall of the emacs bandwagon and start trying to put *everything* into the editor, but this is taking it a little too far. :) http://1010.co.uk/gneve.html#2 -- Kyle Sexton

SCO never owned UNIX copyrights, owes Novell 95 percent of UNIX royalties

SCO never owned UNIX copyrights, owes Novell 95 percent of UNIX royalties<http://feeds.arstechnica.com/%7Er/arstechnica/BAaf/%7E3/143515758/20070812-…>from Ars Technica<http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.arstechnica.com%2…>by segphault(a)arstechnica.com (Ryan Paul) A federal district judge has issued a ruling declaring that Novell is the owner of the UNIX copyrights. This will effectively put an end to SCO's litigation campaign. The judge has also determined that Novell is entitled to 95 percent of the UNIX licensing royalties SCO collected from Microsoft and Sun.

You've discovered the high price of American labor . . . and most repairmen would rather replace something than "fix" it. Or he simply doesn't want to fuss with it, which is more likely the real reason. We are all now in a throwaway society -- don't fix anything; just go out and buy something new . . . something where the cost of labor is pennies on the dollar.
