Gnofract 4D: Superior Fractal Software : Home

Download

Latest news:

March 28th, 2010:
Version 3.13 released. This contains some bug fixes and HSV gradient support, but drops binary releases for Python 2.5.

User comments:

It warms my heart to see such a fine open source fractal program. A really great job!

After my opinion it is the best open source fractal editor/browser available on the web...

Thanks for producing the best piece of fractal software for Linux!

What is Gnofract 4D?

Gnofract 4D is a free, open source program which allows anyone to create beautiful images called fractals. The images are automatically created by the computer based on mathematical principles. These include the Mandelbrot and Julia sets and many more. You don't need to do any math: you can explore a universe of images just using a mouse. It runs on Unix-based systems such as Linux and FreeBSD and can also be run on Mac OS X.

Why Gnofract 4D?

In short, I believe it's the one of the best fractal packages currently available for Linux. It is:

easy to use, with a polished, modern UI
very fast, with high-performance multi-threaded rendering
flexible, with an unlimited number of fractal functions and vast numbers of options
widely used, with over 50,000 downloads to date

Tour the features, screenshots and galleries to find out more.

This app is very cool. I put it on Mom's Fedora 12 PC. Need to install it on mine too.

Cool guns, real and made for Movies - Shobarys Spaghetti Westerns - Guns

'Sabata' & 'Return of Sabata':

Sabatas four barreled gun is a fake. Roughly based on a Derringer, Sabatas gun also has three extra barrels concealed in the grip.

In 'Return of Sabata', Sabata also has a "sqeeze gun". Very exotic and rare. 7 shot .32 rimfire, nickel plated palm sqeezer pistol called "The Protector". Made by "The Chicago Firearms Co." circa 1900.

A quote from 'Return of Sabata'. Sabata: "-I bought this weapon, same as yours a year ago for $12. Now if you are going to charge me $24 here, taxes or not, that sounds like legalised theft." Gunsmith: "-Never mind mister, we don't like stranger with tough talk."

Today it's worth about US $1500 to $2000. .32 rimfire cartridges could be hard to find today, but they are still manufactured in Brazil.

Also makes an appearence in Johnny Yuma and can be seen in the gunshop in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (below)

The "flip board" duel guns in 'Return Of Sabata' are Sharps Derringer Model 1859 cal. .22. Also chambered for cal .32.

Why Tabs are on Top in Firefox 4 « Alex Faaborg

Why Tabs are on Top in Firefox 4

(best viewed in full screen)

YouTube

Theora 720p

WebM 720p

In the Firefox 4 nightly builds, and in Firefox 4 Beta 1, we are changing the default tab position so that tabs are on top. This is a preference that users can change by right clicking on any of their toolbars. Moving the default tab position is obviously a significant and to some extent controversial change to the Firefox UI, which is why we made the video above to help explain our rationale.

Contributors who are active in the Mozilla community will know that this debate literally goes back for years. So in some respects this video will serve as quick summary of all of the different arguments both for an against the change. But the more interesting part isn’t about looking back, it’s about looking forward. Recently modern browsers have been transitioning to placing tops on top, and that decision isn’t arbitrary, it isn’t about fashion. The change to placing tabs on top isn’t about one browser versus another browser, it’s about the evolution of the Web as a platform.

CD controlled lawn mower - Hack a Day

CD controlled lawn mower

posted Jun 26th 2010 11:00am by Mike Szczys
filed under: digital audio hacks, repair hacks

[Oliver Nash] was enlisted by his parents to fix their robotic lawn mower. They owned a Robomow which happily navigated their yard to keep the grass at a nice level. These robots rely on a perimeter wire with a special signal running through it to ensure they are inside of the mowing area. Confronted by a dead perimeter module, [Oliver] ordered a new unit and disassembled the old module to study the components. He also measured the signal generated by the replacement unit. In the end he was able to produce a replica of the signal using audio software, burn it to a CD, and playback the recording using the perimeter wire. It’s a bit of a zany idea but it worked.

A robotic lawn-mower

Robomow

A few years ago my father bought one of Friendly Robotics‘s Robomows. The Robomow is a battery-powered robotic lawn-mower that will happily mow your lawn for you; all you have to do is charge up its battery and ask nicely. My father’s model is the RL550 and not only does it do an excellent job of cutting the grass but it emits a satisfyingly deep humming sound as it proceeds merrily about its work. Watching it work, one gets the feeling this is a mower that really enjoys its work.

The perimeter wire

Clever though the Robomow may be, it does need a bit of help figuring out exactly what it is that you would like mowed. To Robomow you are just as you are likely to want your prized Blue Bell Tunicate’s cut down to size as your are keen to have your grass cut.

Partial success

Let me begin by telling the story of a successful attempt to get Robomow to obey my discman.

I gathered my amplifier circuit, discman, signal CD etc. and went round to my parents’ house. There I set up my equipment, pressed play on my discman and turned up the volume till my oscilloscope (which I had also connected up to the perimeter wire) indicated appropriate signal strength. I then turned on Robomow and asked it to mow. To my absolute delight it complied! It began mowing, reached the perimeter cable at the edge of the lawn, turned correctly and continued mowing. After another pass across the lawn, it reached another edge and turned for a second time. At this point I asked my brother who was present to press pause on the discman. Instantly Robomow stopped and complained that the signal had disappeared. This was all great news. My python script’s CD track was controlling the mower. Success!

A calibration problem?

Although I was able to get Robomow to obey my signal, unfortunately I was not able to get it to do so reliably, at all. For the vast majority of my attempts, Robomow indicated my signal was present on its signal strength indicator but when asked to mow would think about it for a long time before eventually refusing. Unfortunately without taking apart Robomow (which I don’t want to do) very little information is obtained on each attempt. Not having Robomow obey my perimeter signal reliably is a little disappointing and I dare say I could overcome this final hurdle but having already spent a lot more time than I ever wanted to on this project, I decided it was time to write up and stop. My partial success was still fairly satisfying!

Apple iPhone: iPhone 4 reception problem? Don't hold it that way, Apple says - latimes.com

Don't hold iPhone 4 that way, Apple says

'Avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band,' Apple says. Users have found that cradling the iPhone in their hand can cause loss of signal

By David Sarno and Mark Milian, Los Angeles Times

June 26, 2010

A day after users discovered that cradling Apple Inc.'s new iPhone in your hand may interfere with its antenna and cause it to lose its signal, the company has suggested a solution:

Don't hold it that way.

Apple said that some loss of signal from gripping a handset is "a fact of life for every wireless phone," and that if it happens on the new iPhone, users should "avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band."

Facebook Search Expands to the Web with Open Graph, Google sighs.

June 25, 6:06 PM

LA Technology Examiner

David Kamerschen

Earlier this week, All Facebook reported that external websites were popping up in user’s search results on Facebook. A recently adopted protocol by Facebook named Open Graph is the facilitator of this increasingly common phenomenon.

Open Graph allows webmasters to plant and customize Facebook’s “Like” button onto their web pages. The results which turn up on Facebook will then be “weighted” in priority by the number of Facebook users who click the “Like” button and associate their account with the external page.

Facebook’s official word: “The Open Graph protocol enables you to integrate your Web pages into the social graph. It is currently designed for Web pages representing profiles of real-world things - things like movies, sports teams, celebrities, and restaurants. Once your pages become objects in the graph, users can establish connections to your pages as they do with Facebook Pages. Based on the structured data you provide via the Open Graph protocol, your pages show up richly across Facebook: in user profiles, within search results and in News Feed.”

Combined with Facebook’s claim of more than 400 million users, this development means a cluster headache for search giant Google who is already overloaded trying to fend off Apple and Microsoft.

Facebook launches Open Graph search engine, prepares for world domination

by Jay Hathaway (RSS feed) Jun 25th 2010 at 3:30PM

Is the "like" about to replace the link as the Web's main currency? If Facebook's Open Graph continues the way it's going, it's possible. Open Graph now includes "liked" pages in search results, with the number of likes playing a role in rankings. Basically, it's like a parallel universe Google, where SEO depends on playing Facebook's game and including "likes" on your page. AllFacebook has been documenting the appearance of these new search results, from sites like TripAdvisor.com.

This is a big, big deal.

Here's a look at Google Chrome's new, simplified menu

by Lee Mathews (RSS feed) Jun 25th 2010 at 7:10PM

No, you're right...there's nothing new in the image above. Right now, Google Chrome has two separate menu icons in its top right corner: the wrench menu for options and settings and the page menu for functions like zooming, dev tools, and copy/paste.

A while back, I'd reported that changes were likely on the way, in the form of a single, unified menu. Google pitches minimalism as a central theme in Chrome, so it certainly makes sense to use as few UI elements as possible.

Take the jump to see the unified menu, which has just landed in the Chromium snapshot builds!

Here's the latest version as it appears in the current Chromium builds. As you can see, edit and zoom functions have been combined into single lines and all developer functions slotted into the tools menu.

We love it when footage of a robot prompts a “holy crap” response from us. This little guy, a product of the Chiba Institute of Technology, uses four rods as a suspension system for jumping. The bulk of the bot can be moved up or down, using its momentum to raise the wheels and jump to the next level. Check out the clip after the break to see how getting down involves a controlled fall as graceful as a dancer. Doctor Light better get cracking on another robot to take this one out when it turns on us.

Selective Laser Sintering rig on the cheap - Hack a Day

Selective Laser Sintering rig on the cheap

posted Jun 25th 2010 10:00am by Mike Szczys
filed under: cnc hacks

[Peter's] been hard at work designing an affordable Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing platform. We first saw his work on this back in April when he was working mostly with acrylic. Now he’s moved on to a design that relies on hardboard which has resulted in a build that comes it at around $20 including the motors.

The design uses a dual z-axis table for the feed stage and the build stage. That is to say, as the powder is fused together by the laser the platform it is on is lowered. Next to this platform, the feed platform is raised, allowing the power to be swept onto the build stage. This setup is moving in the right direction, but we’re still waiting to see what works when it comes to adding the laser and sourcing the powder.

How to configure the TrackPoint - ThinkWiki

How to configure the TrackPoint

From ThinkWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

[hide]

Below are several ways of configuring the kernel psmouse driver for controlling extended TrackPoint features.

On a Modern distribution (like Fedora, Ubuntu or OpenSUSE) you will want to use xinput or one of the graphical front ends. For distributions that are lagging a bit (e.g. Debian Lenny and PCLOS '09) you may still want to use the old xorg config method.

Configuration using xinput

If you want to modify changes on the fly, you can do so with xinput (part of the optional xorg-x11-apps rpm on Fedora). Note that these changes are not saved when the xserver is restarted. However, you can add the lines e.g. in your .xsessionrc (depends on your distribution) so they are executed every time X starts.

Fedora | The Linux Experiment

Kubuntu 9.10 (Part I)

January 4th, 2010

No comments

After giving up on installing openSUSE 11.2 (the installer insisted on failing during the partition stage) I am now successfully dual booting Windows 7 and Kubuntu 9.10. On the Kubuntu side of things I must say that overall I am impressed. It is a much sleeker and more refined KDE experience than I was treated to on Fedora and I am enjoying it thus far.

That’s not to say it is without it’s own set of problems though Once again my graphics card does not play nice, although this time I place the blame firmly on Kubuntu. The KDE front end for jockey, otherwise known as Hardware Drivers to the *buntu folk, completely failed at activating my ATI driver. I was finally able to enable the driver by using the text version of jockey, “jockey-text” in the terminal, but that still didn’t solve all of my problems. Now the system uses the correct driver but refuses to enable compositing for some reason. -sigh-

Looks like I have a long afternoon of IRC ahead of me…

I am currently running GNOME 2.30.0 on top of Ubuntu 10.04.
Previously I was running KDE 4.3.3 on top of Fedora 11 (Leonidas).

The end of the long road

January 1st, 2010

3 comments

Well it’s official, the year is now 2010 and we still don’t have flying cars.

The End

2010 also marks the end of The Linux Experiment. I can honestly say that the last four solid months of Linux use has taught me a lot. In reflection of this I decided to look back at what I had originally wrote about my goals of this experiment and see just how many of them I had accomplished.

I will have learned enough of the ins and outs to be as comfortable within a Linux environment as I current am within a Windows one.
- This one is a bit tricky to answer. I am far more familiar and comfortable with Linux now than I have ever been before. However I still do not understand a number of things. For example the Linux file system confuses me to no end. What is the difference between /bin/ and /sbin/? Or why do some things end up in /etc/ and others in /var/ or even /opt/? Clearly I have some room to improve here.
My bonus goal is to have a fully functional, self-created, program that runs native to Linux.
- This one I was actually able to realize. Not only did I have a native OpenGL program running, but in recent weeks I have even created cross-platform .NET/Mono based applications. In addition Linux has proven time and again that it is the platform for web development. I can definitely see myself utilizing it as such in the future.

Fedora

Fedora has been both a terrible nightmare and an absolute pleasure. I have had more problems getting things to just work on this distribution that I care to even remember. Yet time and time again there was something about Fedora that just kept pulling me back in. Perhaps it was the challenge of trying to master a power user’s distribution of choice. Or maybe it was just pure stubbornness. The fact remains that with the exception of Fedora 12 being incompatible with my graphics hardware there was nothing I haven’t overcome.

So would I recommend Fedora to someone? Well… yes and no. Fedora has a rock solid community and lives right on the cutting edge (what? I’m already running KDE 4.3.4??) but it does not make things easy. Now that most distributions have moved up to the 2.6.31 kernel there is really less of a reason for me to recommend the cutting edge simply as a way to get decent hardware support. Obviously if your machine is even newer than mine than perhaps Fedora is still your only stable ticket to that support, but for most users I think there are far better alternatives. Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy Fedora and from what I have read it has come a long way in recent years, I just don’t think I will be using it again anytime soon.

The Future

Today will bring some changes to my computing setup as I plan on removing Fedora and trying out two new KDE distributions, OpenSUSE and Kubuntu, just to see which one I prefer. In addition I will be dual booting with Windows 7 for the first time. I will be sure to keep everyone up to date with my experiences as I do so.

As we here at The Linux Experiment debate where to take the experiment moving forward, be sure to check back for updates on our new experiences!

Share keyboard and mouse between multiple Windows, Linux, and Mac computers with or without a KVM switch

Posted in apps , networking , ooo! Shiny...

Synergy

Synergy may be defined as two or more entities working together to produce a result individually unobtainable.

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, (and here’s the key part) without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers and monitors on their desk.

One mouse, one keyboard, controlling multiple Windows, Linux, and Mac systems. I’ve been looking for something like this for years!

Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all. Learn more about how it works.

I’ve used it between two Fedora 12 machines, one a laptop the other a desktop, and it worked flawlessly. There is no delay when moving between desktops, no stutter, or lag in the mouse movement or keyboard input. It just works. But that was just multiple Linux machines. Good luck getting Windows and Mac to work, right? No problem! Synergy to the rescue.

Synergy+

http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus

Described by its creators as “…a maintenance fork for implementing bug fixes to the original Synergy by Chris Schoeneman…”

Both Synergy and Synergy+ use the same configuration and the same synergys and synergyc daemons to connect.

If you want to try it between multiple machines, you just need to make a simple config similar to this, and put it on the one computer you designate as the server:

If you experience trouble then hopefully this page and this web site may help resolve the issue for you. Those with non-Winmodems and external Hayes compatible modems don't need to worry about this at all.

Step 1 Start by Connecting and Rebooting

Once you have properly connected your modem and made sure it is on, reboot your Linux system. In all likelihood, your modem will be detected by the Linux hardware detection tool and automatically installed.

Step 2 Get Details from Your ISP

After successfully loading your desktop, you will need to configure your modem, which will require some information from your ISP.

Most ISPs will accommodate you and provide clear answers to your questions, since you are paying them! However, some ISPs require you to use proprietary software to dial in and log on to their service. This may inhibit using the generic Linux tools and require you to use some form of emulator to run your ISP’s software under Linux. If you are stuck with such an ISP, you may want to consider an alternative FREE ISP who fully supports Linux. I’ll provide some tips later on the subject.

In most cases you will simply need to know the local dial-up number to call your ISP.

You should take the time now to contact them if you need to get this information. Here’s what you may want to communicate:

Mention that you are planning to dial-up to your account through your Linux PC

Ask for one or two local dial-up numbers

And get their Domain Name Server IP addresses

TIP: If your ISP tech person mentions that the ISP “does not support Linux,” acknowledge you understand this and repeat your questions, since you’re not asking them to help provide tech support for Linux, you’re asking them how they allow access to their network for your use.

You will find out shortly something I’ve noticed from my experiences — some ISPs are far nicer about helping you do this than others!

Step 3 Configure the Modem and ISP Info

Once you have your ISP information, you can quickly configure the modem and enter details for accessing the ISP account. You will also need your account id and password, so have them handy as you begin.

As with other configuration examples, I will use actual steps from two of the major flavors (Fedora and SuSe). I’ve successfully used this information while installing other popular flavors too, so they will apply to most of the newer flavors. The tools are often determined by the Desktop you use and so Fedora (uses Gnome) and SuSe (uses KDE) help give a rather well rounded view of how to setup your modem across most flavors.

Step 4: Fedora Dial-Up (for SuSe Dial-up click here or scroll down)

How to install Linux on a USB flash drive | TuxRadar Linux

How to install Linux on a USB flash drive

Posted at 4:03pm on Monday February 9th 2009

Nothing can beat having a great Linux distro installed on a super-fast hard drive, with all your favourite apps configured just how you like them and all your files at your fingertips. But this has one major drawback: perfect as your setup is, it's also just one machine, and sooner or later you'll be forced to leave that computer behind and use something else. Something that might run Windows. Something that might not even have Firefox. Because no one likes being parted from their data for too long, we present a smarter option: store it all on a USB flash drive... In older days, you were able to store Linux on a CD and use a flash drive just to save changes. After some advancements, you were able to run Linux straight from the flash drive, but it didn't store any changes you made. But the latest generation of Linux distros - namely Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 9 - have a memory overlay system that allows you to store your Linux distro and any changes you make to it on a single flash drive. Sure, you'll need at least 1GB to be able to fit the entire distro on there, but it does mean everything you need is all on the one device. Once you switch your install to a flash drive, it means you can take it pretty much anywhere and get back to work immediately. Whether you're using a server, a desktop or even a tiny little Aspire One or Eee PC, the vast majority of modern computers support booting straight from USB, so you can just plug in your drive and go. You'll need a flash drive with at least 1GB of free space, and ISO images of either Ubuntu 8.10 or Fedora 9. It's likely there are other distros out there that work with similar or perhaps even identical instructions, but Ubuntu and Fedora are the big two so we stuck with them. One of the first thing you encounter when switching to free software are people who want to let you know all a bout the difference between free beer and free speech, and that's all very nice. But for most us, nearly all our software is free of cost and free to modify, so in our minds we balk at the idea of paying for functionality. However, if you want to put Linux on a flash drive you really do have to fork out and buy some hardware, so if you don't already have a good flash drive you need to read this first.
There are five things you'll want to consider when buying the perfect flash drive for Linux. If we order them with the most important first, it looks like this:

Reliability. This is easily the most important thing to care about, because it doesn't matter how cheap, fast and spacious a flash drive is when it dies after 20 minutes. If losing your data is simply not an option (and, let's face it, that's almost certainly the case), go for a brand name you trust - we chose Corsair, because it's a company with a huge amount of experience making quality flash drives, and its Flash Voyager range is designed to be water- and shock-proof.
Cost. This is always going to be a consideration, but fortunately flash prices have dropped dramatically in recent years - whereas 256MB drives used to be £60 or £70, you can now get 32GB drives for the same price. That's over 100 times the capacity for the same price!
Capacity. 1GB is the absolute minimum needed to get started, but it really depends on how much data you want to store - and also how much extra software you want to install. If cost is an issue, the best value drive sizes right now are 4GB or 8GB.
Speed. The simple rule here is "pay more, get more". Companies such as OCZ and Corsair specialise in high-performance devices - Corsair even makes a special range of flash drives (known as 'GT') that are made from extra-fast components. Remember, your entire computer will be running from this tiny device, so only go for a slow drive if you're a very, very patient person.
Size. Arguably the least important consideration is the actual physical size of the flash drive. This isn't usually a problem because all flash drives are necessarily small, and it's only if you're after a particularly tiny one that you even need to consider this. SanDisk's Cruzer Micro and Corsair's Flash Voyager Mini both come in 4GB and 8GB capacities, despite being less than half the size of conventional drives.

Make your choice

There are two distinct ways of running Linux from a flash drive, but we'll only be covering one of them here - and for good reason, as you'll see.

Coss Horizontal Stirling Engine

Home CNC Home


I originally found this engine on the cover of the Nov / Dec 2005 edition of The Home Shop Machinist. I hadn't really paid too much attention to it as I thought it was beyond my capabilities. I was also deep in other projects at that time. In February 2009 I started looking for a project; something just beyond the reach of my technical skills. Beyond, because it would challenge me and push me to learn and reach beyond my comfort zone.

It made sense to build from the bottom up. I wanted to build in the same order as assembly - I didn't want any parts on hand that couldn't be attached to another part. The Frame or as Terry calls it, the Tuning Fork was first. Before I start cutting, I print the part off the Cad program and make sure that the size and location suits my mill and material. I also use it to zero the mill on the material.
