Things like "Encode URI" and "UTF-8 Decode". Could be useful.

C74 Perspectives: Matt Wright

Wow! Matt used to be a Post-doc at the lab. So cool!

v8-gl




V8-GL - intends to provide a high-level JavaScript API for creating 2D/3D hardware accelerated desktop graphics.

In other words, you can hack some JavaScript code that opens a desktop window and renders some 3D hardware accelerated graphics. Bindings are made using the V8 JavaScript engine.

Nice.

Peavey DPM C8. The old MIDI controller in our lab. Quite a beast!

A bunch of links that I've found useful over the last week while designing MarSndPeek and rewriting the Panning Pedagogy app in OpenGL:

OpenGL Primitives

Some work had been done in Marsyas with OpenGL by Aaron Hechmer, who used to be in George's lab.

Here's a screenshot of the current version of MarSndPeek:



And a screenshot of the OpenGL panning app:



Here's a screenshot of the web based version of the panning app, which you can visit at pan.sness.net

iPhone Ocarina App Demo - Ge Wang

Speaker identification with sndpeek

I'm making a version of this with Marsyas and Qt, it's called MarSndPeek.

cmake wiki




A really nice page on CMake:How To Find Libraries. Very useful.



qt opengl





A thread suggested that for Re: [CMake] cmake link against Qt4's OpenGL


PROJECT ( COMBINED )
FIND_PACKAGE (Qt4 REQUIRED)
SET(QT_USE_QTOPENGL TRUE)
INCLUDE( ${QT_USE_FILE} )
ADD_EXECUTABLE(exe main.cpp glwidget.cpp window.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(exe ${QT_LIBRARIES})


What I found for Marsyas linking a Qt application that uses OpenGL, I first had to add the following lines to marsyas-detect.cmake:


if (WITH_OPENGL)
find_package(OpenGL REQUIRED)
set (MARSYAS_OPENGL 1)
SET(QT_USE_QTOPENGL TRUE)
endif (WITH_OPENGL)


With the important line being


SET(QT_USE_QTOPENGL TRUE)


To get the OpenGL header files to be included I also added the following lines to the CMakeLists.txt file in the directory of the application I was working on:


INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${QT_QTOPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})


Very simple, but really hard to find out how to do.

Actionscript 3.0 libraries. I wonder how hard it is to integrate these into haXe?

Trying to figure out how to turn on SHMConfig in X11 in Ubuntu under VirtualBox in Windows 7 so that I can disable my mouse pointer on my laptop when I'm typing.

Any ideas?

From : Unix turns 40: The past, present and future of a revolutionary OS

Thompson and Ritchie were the consummate "hackers," when that word referred to someone who combined uncommon creativity, brute force intelligence and midnight oil to solve software problems that others barely knew existed.

Nice. Me too.

soundex




Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in English. The goal is for homophones to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling.

Just what we needed for a recent project. Neat.



sandy3d





Sandy3d is a fantastic 3d engine for Flash/haXe. I was using it in a recent project, but it turned out I needed too many polygons, and it doesn't seem to be able to use the new 3D accelleration in Flash 10. Still, a really awesome project and nice API.

mysql




The State of MySQL

Interesting that both MySQL and Perl got stuck between versions 5 and 6. Perhaps they should just have jumped to version 7.

That's funny, now that I think of it, CCP4 kind of got stuck between 5 and 6 as well, but it looks like they've leapt now.

The lesson of the day is : Avoid version 6.0.
