It's been an interesting week for Skype observers. The Skype/EBay conference has been happening in Las Vegas all week, and it has the feel of a coming of age. We're starting to see the first fruits of the acquisition, and it's exciting.
First, look at the EBay Devcon website. This could be a Microsoft developer conference, and the Microsoft conferences are the gold standard by which all developer conferences should be measured. It's professionally organized, with great speakers, and a packed agenda. Most importantly, if you look at the schedule, a large number of the sessions have the presentations already posted. In todays internet world, that's just smart.Â
Second, the much ballyhooed integration between EBay and Skype is starting to come together. TechCrunch reported last night that sellers in a variety of different categories (mostly ones where EBay feels there is a high touch component), will have the option to add a Skype-Me button to listings. If this is successful, presumably it will become an option for all sellers in the future.
Third, Skype has finally started to give us a real taste of where the future will be. Whether that's the various roadmaps that were offered at different times throughout the conference, or the tantalizing glimpses of a future Paypal / Skype integration (something which I have been advocating since 2003!), Skype is starting to embrace it's ecosystem, and offer a strong indication of where the future will lie. Incidentally, Skype announced they would do the PayPal integration last September when the acquisition was completed, and showed the same screen shots in May. It makes you wonder whether they're feeling a little uncomfortable with all the GBuy talk idly floating about.
Fourth, it's the true beginning of the EBay / Skype developer ecosystem. Saturday morning's sessions kicked off with a speech from Jason Steinhorn and Kumar Kandaswamy, titled EBay Platform Roadmap. In it they revealed that EBay's developer ecosystem is 30,000 strong. Those developers are hearing the same pitch as Skype developers, and vice versa. There were several other similar speeches throughout the three days. Watch for some very interesting software to come out of this marriage.
Sitting on the sidelines, it seems that there is focus coming to the Skype / EBay marriage, and that the promise articulated less than a year ago is starting to become reality.

The most important event in the telecom sector in 2006 was the de-monopolization of the long-distance communication in the Russian Federation, as a result of which subscribers were able to choose an operator when making domestic and international long-distance calls.
That year MTT JSC was the first operator to break Rostelecom's monopoly.
In March 2006 MTT was one of the organizers of the meeting between the Regional Communication Operators' Association (RSS) and the RSS Commission on Telecommunications. The same year, together with the global telecom operator Teleglobe (VSNL International), МТТ was the first Russian alternative long-distance operator to establish a point of presence in Hong Kong. MTT became a full member of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-Т). Alto the company was awarded as the Leader Company within the "Best Russian Companies" competition organized by the Russian Union of Industrial Companies and Entrepreneurs (RSPP).
In 2006, MTT JSC announced the acquisition of AFK Systema's 66% stake in the international telecom operator WaveCrest Group Enterprises Limited, which made the company a key Russian telecom operator providing international voice traffic transit service on mobile and fixed-line networks abroad.

It was really great for a number of reasons: the breakfast was made with quality ingredients and was all around tasty, there was a wide selection, it was a beautiful space, they were super friendly, even making a special breakfast for chowbaby, it was reasonably priced ($30 including tip for 3 adults and 2 kids), and overall a great addition to the neighborhood.

IF YOU'RE travelling north or south from Hervey Bay or Maryborough this month take a deep breath and be patient.
A series of safety improvements to the Bruce Hwy will require some short-term delays for long-term gains.
Drivers can expect delays of up to half-an-hour when travelling between Gin Gin and south to Gympie.
Areas included in the upgrades are south of Gunalda, Glenwood, Tinana, Aldershot, south of Torbanlea and three areas between Howard and Apple Tree Creek.
The Torbanlea, Apple Tree Creek and Aldershot works are expected to be finished by the middle of the month.
The roadworks just south of Gunalda are part of an overall upgrade to coincide with the construction of the new $10 million United service hub due to open in late November.
The sites are part of an effort to improve safety and increase traffic efficiency for drivers travelling along the 180km stretch of highway.

After weeks of warm words and promises of a smooth transition in the wake of maybe the most quarrelsome presidential election in entire history, President-elect Donald Trump grumbled Wednesday morning that the man he will prevail in office is hurling "roadblocks."
"Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks," Trump tweeted, referring to President Barack Obama by his initial. "Thought it was going to be a smooth transition – NOT!"
The two men who had minimal positive to say in regards to each other on the battlefield apparently wiped the slate clean amid an Oval Office meeting that occurred days after Trump's astonishing triumph in a month ago's race. Obama and Trump have talked numerous circumstances from that point forward and both communicated enthusiasm for a consistent move between organizations. As of late as a week ago, approaching White House squeeze secretary Sean Spicer composed on Twitter that "the current WH has been unbelievably gracious … w/ making this transition as smooth as poss."
However, the growing relationship between the president and president-elect has frayed in recent weeks, first over the appraisal of the FBI and CIA that the Russian government propelled cyberattacks focusing on the U.S. constituent process with the expectation of helping Trump's candidacy. Trump has been unwilling to yield that appraisal, or even that Russia was behind the cyberattacks by any stretch of the imagination, a position that provoked basic comments from White House squeeze secretary Josh Earnest.
The president-elect additionally lashed out this week at the Obama organization over its unwillingness to guard Israel at the United Nations against a determination denouncing it for new settlement movement. He presented on Twitter on Christmas Eve that "the big loss yesterday for Israel in the United Nations will make it much harder to negotiate peace. Too bad, but we will get it done anyway!" He added Wednesday that "we cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect" and urged Israel to "stay strong" because his inauguration on "January 20th is fast approaching!"
Obama additionally has made hidden reactions of Trump in different open comments, by implication assaulting the president-elect numerous circumstances amid his end-of-year news conference and in his remarks Tuesday at Pearl Harbor, where he cautioned that "even when hatred burns hottest, even when the tug of tribalism is at its most primal, we must resist the urge to turn inward. We must resist the urge to demonize those who are different."
Also, in an interview with CNN's David Axelrod, his former senior counselor, Obama said he was confident that he could have won a third term in a race against Trump running on his "trust and change" message. The president-elect disagreed.
"President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me," Trump wrote on Twitter Monday evening. "He should say that, but I say NO WAY! – jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc."

For the first time since 1987, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick and selected former Florida State Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. The area is abuzz with excitement for the Bucs news quarterback, one the fans and the organization hope becomes a franchise quarterback, and can lead the Buccaneers back to the playoffs for the first time since Jon Gruden roamed the sidelines at Raymond James Stadium.
PewterReport.com will chronicle Winston's practice reports throughout camp. After canceling the fan portion of training camp, the Bucs were able to get their third practice in. Here is the third installment following a day that saw no rain during the afternoon practice. Make sure to check back with PewterReport.com daily for our Winston Report.
Bucs' rookie quarterback Jameis Winston continued his up and down training camp during Tuesday's morning practice in front of a large crowd at One Buccaneer Place. Winston, who threw three picks in Monday's practice, threw two more picks during 11-on-11.
After warming up with quarterback coach Mike Bajakian, Winston moved to Field 1 to work with the receivers on short slant routes in the red zone. Winston easily completed all six passes to his receivers, albeit, they were uncovered at the time. The wide-outs then ran deep sideline routes, and Winston continued to do well with five completions and two drops, one by Kenny Bell and the other by Robert Herron. Then followed slant throws up the middle, in which Winston completed all three including a fingertip catch by Vincent Jackson.
After this drill, the quarterbacks departed into their own group with Bajakian to practice footwork while the rest of the team worked on special team drills. Winston would later re-joined the team for walk through run plays.
Following the walk-through, the quarterbacks joined the receivers and defensive backs for one-on-one situations on the far field. Winston did well, completing seven passes, including a perfectly thrown deep over the shoulder pass to Donteea Dye. Winston had two incompletions in this drill, both poor overthrows.
The team then moved into the first 11-on-11 portion of the day, and Winston struggled. His first pass, intended for Jackson on the sideline, was poorly thrown and picked off by Alterraun Verner. Then, following a short completion, Winston threw another pick, this time into the hands of Lavonte David, who undercut tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins slant route in the middle of the field. Winston ended the drill 4-for-8, including the two picks.
Winston spoke to the media about the interceptions following Tuesday's practice.
"You got to get better every single day," Winston said. "No one is perfect. That's the thing about football. You have to find your corrections and make adjustments.
"You have to learn every day. You can't just learn certain things, you have to learn on everything. Even good plays you learn, the goal is to get better every single day and make adjustments, get better off your mistakes and get even better off your accomplishments."
Winston and his receivers then went into the only 7-on-7 period of the practice, where Winston seemed to play much more conservatively. He completed nine throws, seven of which were short check downs or screen passes. The other two were nicely thrown intermediate slant passes to Seferian-Jenkins and Russell Shepard. He only had two incompletions, one being a drop by running back Charles Sims.
Head coach Lovie Smith addressed Winston's conservative play in camp today at his press conference.
"As a general rule, you want to always push to ball down the field," Smith said. "But if it's not open, you normally have a second read, and possible third read to go to, and the check down is a part of that. But as we continue to go, that's what we want our quarterbacks to do every snap. If it's not there and you don't feel like you can get it in there, be able to play another down [and] check it down. There's nothing wrong with getting positive yards. Young quarterbacks, as a general rule, positive yards is a good thing. Again, in time all those things will come. He needs to go through all of this. We're giving him different looks every day. We're asking him to do different plays every day and he's bouncing back."
For the last drill of the day, the team went back into 11-on-11 where Winston improved from his earlier performance. He completed eight passes, but all of them were short throws under five yards. On the first play, Winston didn't see a wide open Vincent Jackson deep down the sideline on a play action, and instead checked it down to his running back.
Winston had three incompletions, including another drop by Kenny Bell and another overthrown pass intended for Adam Humphries.
Winston ended the practice by signing autographs for at least fifteen minutes before spending time speaking to the media. He talked about how important it is to be a role model for the kids so they have someone to look up to.
"Part of my motivation is I have a seven-year-old brother who's about to be eight in a couple weeks and it's fun just to be able to impact them and affect them in a positive way," Winston said. "And being out here, being energetic, being a kid myself, kids can relate to that and I know that because I have a little brother and we were all kids one day. It's exciting to see someone you look up to have fun with you and connect with you."
Winston and the rest of the team will have the day off tomorrow, and will return to the field on Thursday at 2:30 P.M.
Final Stats (unofficial): 26-of-37 passes (70.3 percent) with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Pingback: Winston Report: Training Camp – 8-4 | Buccaneer Bruce
You can tell Winston needs the practice and I hope he gets to play a lot in pre season, especially the first 2 games. The heck with the way it has been done in the past. I don't trust Coach Smith words about our DE's or our QB situation yet. Practice, practice, practice. Go Bucs!
Hey we're getting better – 3 INTs yesterday, 2 today, and none back to back (the glass half full perspective). I wasn't at practice today but PR says Winston got conservative and threw more screens and check downs. It sounds to me like he's learning and learning fast. You know they say a scalded cat is afraid of cold water. Lol. This is good judgment and an exercise in patience unless he's been intimidated by the blitzes and I don't think this guy is easily intimidated.
Winston is going to be blitzed a lot and the Bucs know it. Because any DC worth his salt would do this to a rookie QB and an O-Line that heretofore couldn't block a lingerie football team. So they're going to throw this at him until he can both read and react to the blitzes.
You have to look at the whole practice and from the camp videos I saw at Buccaneer.com, it was a good practice. Big Dot said it was the best practice they have had so far. Everybody has got work to do not only Winston cutting down on INTs, but also overthrowing open WRs, and WRs dropping passes that are on the money!
I'm just as concerned about the whipping that DE Jaquies Smith put on LT Donovan Smith in 11 on 11s as I am Winston's INTs. Videos and highlight film tend to be exaggerated toward the positive, but things are looking pretty good to me. I think the coaches are happy with where they are today.
This is really getting to be a concern. QB's normally don't improve their accuracy a the next level. I know its' early but this is staring to feel like a bad pick. Can we trade with Tennessee?
Yes you are correct, it is entirely too early to worry about the pick. WE are barely through our first full week of practice and you want to trade our guy?
As a Noles fan I can tell you the story of Winston's first practice at FSU. Apparently Winston was so bad Jimbo kicked him off of the field. His first college game he completed 92% of his passes and had 5 touchdowns. The point is let these things come and don't panic already. And even after one season we won't know how good these two guys are.
this just in…Aaron rodgers and jameis winston both have 5 picks in training camp. Does that mean the packers should trade their qb as well? Lets settle down with the bad pick talk.
They're both rookies Bucnut2. One is throwing INTs and the other is not throwing INTs, but can't make simple throws. They will both get better!
Remember how many reps in Preseason Glennon got when he was drafted. Those are the amount of reps Winston needs to get to where he will need to be to produce this year. Let him start for both the first and second string Offense and let Glennon split time with Lobato with the third string Offense.
In no way am I saying we aren't better because we are. We just need to get in practices for our DE's QB, LT, RG, as much as possible. Hey I'm up beat; I know Coach Smith as to say what he has to say. I'm just being more cautious at this point in time. Go Bucs!
Horse, you and others have every right to be cautious and concerned. I am concerned, but I'm not panicked after the 4th day of practice and I'm not suggesting you are either.
The Bucs have decided to make a huge gamble on Winston and the apparent intention to start a pair of rookies on the offensive line. I trust they know better than me and will have some measure of success. Time will tell if they bet right. Whether I agree or not doesn't matter, but I do see what they are doing.
Mariota is being spoon fed, Winston is being waterboarded. They have chosen to install the whole playbook now. They have that much faith in him and the information I've gotten is that Winston has absorbed it all and is calling protections his O-linemen don't even understand yet. They're having to slow him down in some instances.
Their first game is the Titans and the DC is 75 year old Dick LeBeau, former DC of the Steelers who practically invented the Blitz and the exotic formations you see in the NFL today. The Bucs know this and must get him prepared for this coming onslaught. You could imagine how important this first game is and why they need to get off to a good start. Winston is going to make mistakes, but Licht says that the main reason they selected him was his ability to overcome difficulty and not be fazed by the moment.
Charley Casserly was at OneBuc today and he agrees that Winston was the right choice for the Bucs and believes he can handle the baptism by fire that the Bucs have chosen for him. I'm as nervous as long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers, but I'm all in! (a lot of cat metaphors tonight) I hope you guys are having as much fun as I am this season! Lol.
Mac as usual ,your insight is fantastic and funny. I for one am very excited to see what we can do this season on both sides of the ball.
Relax gang! You learn best when things go bad. Our young QB is doing just that, learning… in PRACTICE. Why the focus on just the interception count? I suppose that the easiest measuring stick for the "untrained eye." But that's only one piece to the QB puzzle. We,and the media, should be looking at the whole picture of Winston's development (which is just beginning). Is he in command of the huddle, able to call the play, know what he sees in his pre-snap read, understand the concept of the plays, have confidence, remain calm, take responsibility, give praise to teammates, and progressing on all of the aspects of QB plays? We here in Bucville always expect immediate stardom. Guess I should have known.
Pingback: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: What We've Learned Through Week 1 of Training Camp – Bleacher ReportAll Breaking News | All Breaking News
I guess everyone was expecting a plug-n-play QB that would be an instant success? I expect the media bandwagon to immediately suggest Winston was a bad pick after our first loss. I just didn't expect it from Bucs "fans"

Small scale gear for making large scale noise There's been a definite trend over recent years to shrink down amps, pedals and other bits of musical equipment. Whether it's advances in technology - i.e. being able to use fewer components to achieve the same result - or increased portability, certain items do lend themselves to this attack on proportion. The obvious side benefit of this is that you don't need to use as much gear as before. With the way modelling amps in particular have advanced, you can now realistically access hundreds of perfectly usable tones from … [Read More...]

World's Cheapest I2C (I-Squared-C) Adapter
Introduction: World's Cheapest I2C (I-Squared-C) Adapter
Make a sensor interface for your computer for under a buck!
Update 6/9/08: After exploring several avenues I've concluded there is no practical manner of implementing this technique in Microsoft Windows. This is not petty OS bashing, I've really busted a nut trying! Sorry! Windows users needing I2C capabilities are best served by existing USB-based solutions.
Update 5/24/08: Linux support has been added, as well as sample code for the Nintendo Wii Nunchuk controller and the BlinkM "smart LED." See the README.txt file included with the source code for directions on compiling and setup on Linux.
I2C (short for Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a two-wire serial bus typically used in computers for low-level communication between internal components. I2C is also popular in robotics. All manner of sensors and actuators are available in an I2C-compatible form: ultrasonic rangefinders, sensors for acceleration, tilt, temperature and pressure, servo controllers, and bus expanders that provide additional general-purpose (GPIO) lines.
Most modern microcontrollers (Atmel, Microchip PIC, etc.) have support for I2C built right in. But the processing power available on microcontrollers is limited, and software development - with specialized cross-compilers and programming environments - can sometimes be a chore. With laptops and single-board computers becoming ever smaller and more affordable, it's increasingly common to see these systems used directly in robotics and electronics projects. This provides ample power for new capabilities such as vision processing and more sophisticated A.I., and it greatly expands the scope of available development tools and languages...but it also presents a new problem: interfacing these "regular" systems to peripherals is typically done through mainstream consumer-grade ports such as USB; there's no externally-available "I2C port" we can just tap into to make use of our sensors...or is there?
Step 1: Existing Options
One way of connecting I2C devices to an ordinary desktop or laptop computer is through a USB-to-I2C adapter. There are at least a dozen such options out there, ranging from do-it-yourself kits with open source software, to sophisticated commercial units with every bell and whistle.
One downside to the USB-to-I2C approach is cost. A full-featured commercial model can cost $250 or more. Even the "free" homebrew alternatives assume a collection of parts and a prior investment in a microcontroller programmer and the related knowledge to make use of it. Another downside is the relative scarcity of driver support outside the popular Windows fold. Few of these devices work natively on Macintosh or Linux computers.
Step 2: DDC Is I2C
When I said in the introduction that there's no external I2C port on most computers, I lied. Turns out there is, and it's been there all along for nearly a decade now, mostly sitting dormant.
Most modern graphics cards and monitors have support for something called Display Data Channel (DDC), a communication link within a video cable that allows the computer and display to negotiate mutually compatible resolutions and permit software control of monitor functions normally accessed with physical buttons on the display.
DDC is, in fact, simply an implementation of an I2C bus with a few established rules. By tapping into this connection between the computer and monitor (or making use of the DDC lines on an spare unused video port, such as the external monitor connection on a laptop), one can interface with some I2C devices at virtually no expense, bypassing the usual need for an adapter device entirely.
All we need to physically access this I2C bus is a hacked-up video cable...
Step 3: Dissecting the Cable
Four wires are needed for our I2C interface: +5V power, ground, serial data and serial clock. Pinouts for the various types of video ports can be found on Wikipedia or Pinouts.ru. Remember if using a VGA cable to find one with the full complement of pins; some only include a subset.
Cutting back the insulation and shielding from the outside of the cable, you'll likely find two groups of wires within. Thicker wires, or bundles of wires wrapped in additional shielding, usually carry the video signal. We're not interested in these and they can be trimmed back. Thinner, unshielded wires usually carry the DDC (I2C) signals among others. A multimeter or continuity tester can help in finding the correct four wires for your cable. Using a bare connector can be advantageous here, as you just need to solder four wires to the pins of interest.
A note on the +5V power: available current is very limited; about 50 mA according to the DDC specification. Most I2C devices sip just a tiny bit of current, so it should be possible to run several at once...but if using more than one or two LEDs (or other comparatively high-current devices), external power should be provided.
Step 4: The Completed Adapter
Here's the finished adapter. That's all there is to it! I made mine extra stubby so it could fit easily in my laptop bag, and added a four-pin plug that connects directly to an I2C servo controller that I have.
Step 5: Software and Projects
Mac OS X and Linux source code for working with the adapter can be downloaded from my web site (download link is at bottom of page). It's written in C, and you'll need to have gcc installed (Linux usually includes this by default, while Mac users will need to install the developer tools that are an optional installer on your original OS disc, or downloadable free from Apple). Example code is included for reading a temperature sensor, flashing a BlinkM "smart LED," writing and verifying a serial EEPROM, reading a Nintento Wii Nunchuk controller (Linux only), and communicating with a servo controller board.
Unfortunately this adapter scheme is not compatible with all systems. Support for DDC is not mandated, so not all video cards support this capability. I've had good luck thus far with Mac systems that have ATI or Intel graphics chips, but NVIDIA-based systems are out of luck. On the Linux side I've only successfully tested an IBM ThinkPad A31p (ATI graphics), but it would not work with an Asus EeePC (Intel).
The images here show a test rig that demonstrates various I2C devices in action. The computer continually reads the ambient temperature from an I2C temperature sensor, periodically logs this data to an I2C serial EEPROM chip (yes, it could just print to a file, but this was to further demonstrate I2C applications), and then a servo (through an I2C controller) serves as a makeshift indicator dial. With the library and sample code for these devices already in place, it only took a few minutes to put together this demo (and most of that was in making the indicator dial).
how about an arduino and a small bit of software on it.. then serial to PC? less than $20
The arduino recieves commands from the PC and handles the read/write etc to the IC2?
couldn't you use the Bus Pirate as a cheap/simple adapter?
also i noticed they are using a vga to usb or something? may be completely different then strait from vga.
okay i have messed with this for some time now. i have a human interface to i2c bread board made with an accelerometer on it and now i have added my monitor's eprom at i2c address 10100000 which is standard for ddc or edid. all of these things i can access now via the human interface or basically push buttons i made. i can input the 2 address and the devices will hold the data line low in an ack. what i dont get is that the hdmi has a i2c 5+v line which is used to provide power to the eprom and originally i figured that would not need to be powered cause the pc will power it, well it doesnt or at least not for more than a few micro seconds that it uses the eprom to get edid of which i am blind to. so i had to power it but the monitor's eprom responds. also i am powering the open drain i2c bus. i believe when the display adapter is on then i will no longer need to as it will. the problem is how do i turn it on in windows and use the lines? i have been looking into i2c callbacks i believe interfaced by the video port driver in it's videoprt.sys files. i can get it to compile but it does not seem to work with the actual hdmi ports i2c lines? msdn documents that all for callback routines require the HwDeviceExtension as arguments and then the 2 write routines require an additional data value that is either 1 or 0 for what to actually write the line. everything compiles however i do not have a pointer to the hwdevice extension so i just leave it empty and it compiles, however in visual stuidio it will not accept 2 arguments which is weird cause msdn says 2? now i know these are not probably supposed to be functions accessed from outside the driver in a manner that i am accessing them however my code seems to compile which it shoudnt if they were not actually accessable? i wonder now if i use vidgetassociatedriverextension(device_deviceobject) and device object the monitor currently on, could i use that device extension? i also tried holding say the clock line low and then a for looping going through integers for device extension hopping that one would actually read the line low and then stop and tell me the integer reference to the device extension but that doesnt seem to work. im not even sure if these functions are even being acccessed write from the .sys file or if they are just defaulting to something useless like it just returns my argument that i inputed?? if anyone gets further should comment as this is the best source really for this. i will try posting a youtube vid of what i have so far maybe.
hmm that's wrong.. on windows there are several options to access i2c on nvidia, amd or intel cards. For example, google for WinI2C. Also, usingi NVAPI (again, google is your friend) is possible to use I2C on any nvidia card (I coded a small program to do that!).
I have not tried this but it looks interesting.
When you say that it doesn't work on the Eee PC, which one are you referring to? I have the 1000HE.
what do you mean by"IM NOT ALLOWED TO USE LINUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" who cares if they don't want you to use linux...setup your own in a usb thumb drive
There are several options. First you can install Cygwin and probably with some minor tweaks in the code get it to compile and run under Cygwin. Second, you can just replace the platform specific code (which there probably isn't much of being a Linux program) with Windoze code (I'm assuming the source is OSI, MIT or some other similar license).
do you have a schematic for this, as i was interested in making a PCB for one thanks good i'ble
So, there is no way to do this with a macbook pro since it uses an Nvidia graphics card?
Howdy! This should work with most ATI cards if you're running Linux (I don't have any Windows code yet). If you download the source from my site (www.paintyourdragon.com/uc/i2c) and look in the README.txt file, there are some instructions specific to Linux (regarding 'modprobe' and whatnot) that will give a pretty good indication of whether a particular card can support this or not.
Unfortunately no, unless it's an older (2006) ATI-based MacBook Pro. Or at least that's been my experience so far with a couple of other NVIDIA-based Macs I've tried thus far; I've not tested this exact configuration yet. Sorry!
From the contest rules: "we're asking you to document specific parts of your robot for this contest."
Great stuff! you should definitely get a wiimote, tear it apart, and look into getting your code to talk directly to the wiimote's camera module, which speaks I2C - doing this increases the tracking rate to 200Hz: http://procrastineering.blogspot.com/2008/03/tracking-multiple-laser-pointers-200hz.html
I did some googling around and it appears that nvidia does have a ddc bus and that it can be configured in x configuration, this is in linux. Why do you say that it can't be done with nvidia cards?
Greetings! My "doesn't work with NVIDIA" remarks were intended to be specific to Mac OS X. I'm sure the situation will be different on other platforms, just haven't delved deeply enough on the Linux or XP sides to be able to quantify this yet. The pointers are appreciated. I'll have a look at the X server code for ideas when I have time to get this going in Linux.
The example temperature program uses a Microchip TCN75A, which I ordered from the manufacturer at Microchip Direct (mind you, this particular sensor is only available in a surface-mount version, so if you're going to use it on a prototyping board, for instance, you'll have to add "spider legs" or use a socketed adapter). If you're persistent, sometimes components turn up from time to time on eBay.
there appears to be an arduino clone that has a USB bootloader that can connect direct to the usb with no ftdi chip or usb to ttl board. its on the arduino.cc forums somewhere.
There are AVR USB hacks (probably converted for use with the Arduino), but they have sever limitations: USB 1.1 only, they need a specific xtal (so they are useless if you need a different clock source), sometimes require "overclocking" the AVR, take up valuable programming memory, IRQs, etc. There are a couple USB-capable AVRs, but PIC seems to do USB better. But the i2c interface is directly supported by the AVR hardware (it's hardwired logic, not software.)
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they didn't. Both have several comm protocols in hardware....
i have only just heard of i2c. i already knew that the atmega168 and 8 had ttl serial, but this i2c is something i am gonna look into :)
Atmel calls i2c a "two-wire serial interface." I guess they didn't want to pay for licensing the "i2c" name or technology--just create a compatible version. Could be why you hadn't heard of it....
i2c has a thousand names as phillips didn't actually patent it but only holds the trademark. It's probably not a matter of cost but rather ability, from what I've heard phillips is pretty picky about who they let in on their licensing of i2c. 2wire is a pretty common name for it though that tends to show up anywhere the other names are mentioned.
Great instructable! I'll test it soon, I hope to find some info on how to use the DDC in win XP.
Let me know when you make any progress with the I2C adapter on XP - I too have an XP and would love to try this, but I'm busy on another project right now.
what's the bandwidth on this port? I ask because I'd like to consider using this as an oscilloscope channel, but I'd like to know what the top end of the frequency range is that I'd be able to measure. I can handle voltage scaling by putting in my own external opamp.
Howdy! It's either 100 or 400 KHz; I've read contradictory figures online, and unfortunately the official DDC specification costs a fair chunk of change. The bandwidth I'm seeing when reading/writing an I2C serial EEPROM leads me to believe it's the 100 KHz figure.
Thanks! I appreciate your prompt reply. 100 KHz could be helpful in some apps (I'm not working in RF just now, and more important to me just now is audio and logic pulses in automotive electronics systems - I need more than anything else to be able to sort signal from noise. Looks like that bandwidth might be of real help. Cheers again.
niiice. now I just have to look behind my PC to see if it has one of these DV thingys. does it work on Lunix?
In theory this could work on just about any video port; doesn't need to be DVI, both VGA and HDMI ports can support this capability as well. Haven't adapted the code to Linux yet, but that's something I'd like to do with it at some point. This recent rash of mini laptops like the Eee PC might make great and affordable 'bot brains.
Great stuff. With rs-232 and parallel ports disappearing, and USB not directly supported by most micros, this is an excellent alternative.
Thanks! I sure hope so. What remains to be seen is just how compatible this is with different I2C devices. I've only tested it with a few thus far, and while most have been rock-solid, communicating with the all-important servo controller has been a bit dodgy. My suspicion is that it's something peculiar to this specific controller, which was designed Lego Mindstorms use and might not like the full speed I2C being used here. With a device data sheet in hand, writing the code to talk to something new and untested only takes a few minutes. What I may do is bring my laptop and the adapter to the Maker Faire in a couple weeks and ask folks and vendors there if I can have a quick go at writing code for their I2C devices (which I'll then roll back into the sample code for the project).

Ruling description
In a judgment handed down on February 16, 2015 (case no. II FSK 52/13), the Supreme Administrative Court permitted an amendment to the final decision to refuse to acknowledge an overpayment, despite the fact that it also concerned a tax liability
A taxpayer applied for a written tax ruling regarding the PIT Act, claiming that the remuneration for an inventor paid in 2007 (in the wake of 10-year court proceedings) ought to be exempt from PIT. The Minister of Finance rejected the applicant's stance as incorrect, first classifying the remuneration as revenue from property rights, to be reported in the 2007 tax return, and finally, in October 2010 – after the tax ruling had twice been reversed by the court – as job-related revenue.
In the course of a dispute over the tax ruling, the applicant filed an application for the acknowledgement of an overpayment, seeking a ruling to the effect that the remuneration obtained in 2007 under a court settlement was exempt from PIT. By a decision, the head of the tax office determined the PIT liability for 2007 and refused to acknowledge an overpayment. This decision was upheld by the head of the tax chamber in February 2010. As the applicant had not appealed against the decision within the statutory timeframe, it became final and non-appealable.
After the dispute over the tax ruling came to an end, the applicant filed an application in January 2011 under Article 253 of the Tax Ordinance Act, seeking a reversal of, or an amendment to, the final decision to refuse to acknowledge an overpayment and citing the content of the individual tax ruling, according to which the revenue obtained in 2007 in connection with a court settlement constitutes job-related revenue, with the interest on the remuneration being exempt from income tax.
The first-instance and appellate tax authorities refused to reverse or amend the decision to refuse to acknowledge an overpayment. Likewise, the provincial administrative court saw no grounds for reversing this decision, stating that it determined a tax liability, and as such it could not, by operation of law, be reversed or amended. According to the Supreme Administrative Court, in order to assess Article 253 of the Tax Ordinance correctly, one should bear in mind that the decision determining a tax liability was issued as a result of an application for the acknowledgment of an overpayment. Thus, although decisions determining the amount of a liability were explicitly listed among decisions which could not be amended or reversed, if the proceedings primarily concern the acknowledgment of an overpayment and the amount of a tax liability is determined merely as an incidental matter, a special procedure can be launched for the purpose of eliminating the decision from legal transactions.
This is a highly favorable landmark decision for taxpayers who have received adverse decisions in overpayment cases. If a ruling on tax regulations is amended, it is possible to commence overpayment proceedings,even if the decision determines an overpayment and tax liability. However, such proceedings involving an amendment to, or a reversal of, a decision are subject to a special procedure remaining at the tax authority's sole discretion. In order for such a procedure to be launched, it is necessary to prove that the taxpayer has an "important interest"– in this case, an undue payment of tax.

Top 10 Favorite Historical Female Figures in History: (Requested by Anonymous & Not in Order).
1. Artemisia I of Caria: She was the ruler of Helicarnassus and Cos, and was a commander of 5 ships during a naval battle (Battle of Salamis) in 480 B.C during the 2nd Persian Invasion of Greece. She was famous enough to warrant the Greeks ordering her capture which did not occur.
2. Philippa of Hainault: She was the Queen of England as consort to Edward III. She was a wise and competent Queen, serving as regent on behalf of her husband during his war campaigns. She also famously pleaded for mercy in 1347 for the lives of the Burghers of Calais and was successful.
3. Margaret I of Denmark: She ruled as regent on behalf of her son Denmark, and then later Norway and Sweden. Margaret was a successful ruler and was in power even after her son came of age. Her political maneuverings and warfare lead to the Kalmar Union in 1397 which bound the three countries together until the early 16th century.
4. Margaret of Anjou: She was the Queen of England as consort to Henry VI. With the decline of her husband, her power increase and when he was deposed she fought on behalf of him and her son, Edward of Westminster, successfully re-installing them in 1470 though they were deposed the following year. Margaret was a ruthless yet formidable foe even though in the end, she suffered defeat.
5. Isabella I of Castile: She was the Queen Regnant of Castile and Leon and consort in Aragon as the wife of Ferdinand II of Aragon. She was a successfully ruler, establishing a joint rule with her husband in which she shares the accomplishments which included the end of the Reconquista when Granada fell in 1492, and sending Christopher Columbus to the New World.
6. Caterina Sforza: A ruthless and powerful Italian Noblewoman and through marriage the Countess of Forli and the Lady of Imola. She also served as regent on behalf of her son. A passionate war woman, she even once attacked a fortress, while she was heavily pregnant. She is infamous for her defiance against Cesare Borgia at the Siege of Forli.
7. Katherine of Aragon: The Queen of England as the consort and 1st wife of Henry VIII of England. She served as regent in England in 1513 and was the first female ambassador in Europe. When her husband proceeded with trying to obtain and annulment, Katherine defied him every step of the way until the very end of her life.
8. Mary I of England: She was the only child of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon that survived into adulthood. During her parents troubles, she sided with her mother, refusing to give up until after her mother's death in 1536. She was the first Queen Regnant in England, and she was able to hold her position until her death. She is most widely known for restoring the Catholic Church during her reign.
9. Anna Nzinga: Anna Nzinga also known by her full name of Ana de Sousa Nzingha Mbande, was Queen of Ndongo and Matamba. Her reign was long, and during it she engaged in conflict with the Portuguese. She is known for her political acumen, and military prowess, dying at the age of 80 in 1663.
10. Catherine the Great: The 18th century Empress of Russia, who continued the modernization of Russia. She came to power after a coup in which her husband was deposed. Under her reign, the border of Russia expanded, arts, education, and literature was supported, and her reign was known as the Golden Age of Russia.

THE economic hardships that the country is going through have resulted in several local authorities repossessing thousands of undeveloped residential and commercial stands, which owners have also failed to pay rates for, an investigation by the Financial Gazette's Property has revealed.
The investigation revealed that since the dollarisation of the economy in 2009, many beneficiaries of housing schemes around the country had failed to comply with a section of the Urban Councils' Act that requires them to develop their stands within a stipulated period, resulting in local authorities repossessing them.
While in most cases local authorities give home seekers 12 months within which they should make meaningful developments, some of the beneficiaries have gone for more than 10 years without making any developments.
In most of these cases, the beneficiaries would also be defaulting on monthly rates due to the local authorities.
Under the Urban Councils' Act, local authorities are allowed to repossess undeveloped stands without paying any compensation.
Among the local authorities that have moved in to repossess stands are Chitungwiza, Bulawayo, Norton, Victoria Falls, Chinhoyi, Makonde, Zvimba, Chipinge, Nkayi, Umguza, Mvurwi, Mupandawana, and Murambinda.
The decision by the local authorities to repossess the stands was confirmed by the High Court in October last year when Justice Nicholas Mathonsi threw out a case in which one Kingdom Kamangira had dragged the Chitungwiza Municipality to court demanding the nullification of the repossession of a commercial stand in Zengeza on which he had not done anything since it was allocated to him in 2006.
Chitungwiza Municipality is in the process of repossessing about 260 stands, including about 70 that were identified late last year.
The Bulawayo City Council has over the past year repossessed about 200 residential and commercial stands, including one owned by Macro-Economic Planning and Investment Promotion Minister, Obert Mpofu's family.
Most of the properties being repossessed are in the city's low density areas such as Matsheumhlope, Burnside, Manningdale, Newton West, Riverside, Hillside, Woodville, Queensdale and Sunninghill among others.
A fortnight ago, Makonde Rural District Council published a notice in which it indicated its intention to repossess about 620 stands in Murereka and Lion's Den if the beneficiaries did not make good their side of the bargain by March 30.
Zvimba Rural District Council, whose boundary starts on the Western fringes of Harare, is in the process of repossessing 829 low density stands in its Sandton Park suburb near Nyabira as well as 627 plots in its Rainham development just outside Harare. It is also taking back another 36 plots in another development known as Lot 2A of Rainham. The other stands being repossessed by the same local authority are at Murombedzi Growth Point.
Chinhoyi Municipality has been repossessing some residential stands in Rujeko and Ruvimbo suburbs that have remained undeveloped.
The Victoria Falls Municipality is repossessing about 200 residential and commercial stands that have been lying idle for years. The affected stands are in the Moringa, Mukali, Mukanya and Nyakumbi areas. The Victoria Falls Municipality has a policy of repossessing undeveloped stands after six years in the case of high-density areas, three years in medium-density areas and two years in low-density areas.
The Municipality of Chegutu announced early this month that it would be repossessing 56 residential and commercial stands if the beneficiaries remained in default by February 5.
In September last year, the Karoi Municipality announced that it was suspending a policy of selling residential stands after realising that it had to repossess more than 60 percent of the stands it parcelled out to home seekers over the years that had remained undeveloped.
Instead, the Karoi Municipality decided to partner private investors to develop 2 600 core-houses at its Peter-Groot Farm that it would sell to home-seekers, rather than selling undeveloped stands.
A private housing developer, the Zimbabwe Amalgamated Housing Association, in December last year notified nearly 200 beneficiaries of its Galloway Housing Project in Norton of its intention to repossess their stands after they had defaulted on their instalment payments for extended periods of time.
Zimbabwe's local authorities are saddled with staggering housing waiting lists totalling more than 2,1 million.
While some of the beneficiaries hold the stands for speculative purposes, in a majority of cases the harsh economic environment prevailing in Zimbabwe, in which most citizens are living from hand-to-mouth without any savings, becomes impossible for them to develop residential stands that would have been allocated to them by local authorities.

FORMER Essendon-turned-Port Adelaide player Angus Monfries is under advice not to confirm nor deny if he has been served a show cause note from ASADA – even to his current AFL club.
The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority has informed 34 players they have a case to answer over the club's 2012 supplements program.
Power chief executive Keith Thomas was told by Essendon at 10.30pm on Thursday that the legal advice to the Bombers players from the contentious program, which included Monfries, was that they should not tell their club if they were on the ASADA investigation list.
This is to keep the legal work for the players at arm's length from the football club.
This also leaves Port blind to Monfries' position and frustrated at being kept in the dark on a player vital to its premiership chase this season.
Despite leaving the Bombers at the end of 2012 as a free agent, Monfries is to be represented by the same legal group advising the players still at Essendon.
ASADA notified players by email and texts, detailing that they face "show cause'' notices and will now have to prove why they should not be cited for doping.
The dramatic move, which follows a 16-month probe, throws the AFL season into turmoil.
Essendon sources last night revealed the club will hit back, by seeking a Federal Court declaration that the joint AFL-ASADA investigation was unlawful.
An application to the court, arguing the joint probe breached disclosure laws, could be launched by the Bombers as early as today.
Originally published as Monfries 'should not confirm nor deny' legal notice

HOW FLATNESS IS REVERSABLE / Terra incognita is an island which only recently appeared in the Antarctic continent, as a result of climatic global warming and the subsequent merging of ices. Here, the ice white albino penguin can be also be found. Their differences of color produce their rejection from the penguin colony. In the icy winter wind, their loneliness become the main factor of their progressive freezing and their upredictable death.
Our installation unfolded as a series of surfaces on 200m2 , made from honeycomb aluminium. Its form was generated using a parametric script, and was manufactured by controlling milling water jets through the computational script. The single surface was then stretched and sheared by counterweights consisting of different volumes of water that represent different volumes of melted Antarctic ice. Amidst this unstable balance stood a robotic albino penguin whose only gesture was the occasional blinking of an eyelid. More the water in the counter balances is evaporating itself in the climate condition of the indoor Museum, more the artificial and aluminium island is re-defining its own flatness.
This process is talking about the instability, indeterminism of the biotopes. It's talking how the the warming of the climate is deeply introducing conditions of uncertainty ness.
The Odyssey is the story in three steps ;
- the report on the real situation of Antarctica
- the scanning of the territories emerging from the melting of the snow
- a re-development of the process of instability in two place / the Tate and the Mam
Terra Incognita took place at the MAM, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, installed in the exhibition "Park Celebration" by Pierre Huyghe, March 10th to April 23rd, 2006, and at the Tate Gallery, London, July-August, 2006

If you've been following along, you'll remember that there are four murals painted by Diego Rivera in the Bay Area and seeing some of Rivera's murals has been on my personal bucket list since I studied his work in college.
I set out to see all four of the murals in the Bay Area, and this is the last one left to share with you. I saved the biggest and the best for last!
This massive mural is called The Marriage of Artistic Expression of the North and of the South on this Continent — or Pan American Unity for short. At almost 1800 square feet, it's said to be Rivera's largest single standing mural. (I'm not sure about that claim, but that's what their literature says.)
It's hidden away in a nondescript building on the City College campus in a neighborhood (ironically) called Sunnyside, far enough from the city center that it's unlikely to draw any tourists.
The mural was created as a part of the "Art in Action" program at the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island in September of 1940. The goal was to allow fair-goers to watch the artists' creative processes in real time. When the mural was finally completed in December (after the fair was done), more than 30,000 people came to the public viewing.
The world was solidly in the grips of WWII in the fall and winter of 1940 when Diego Rivera conceived and create Pan American Unity. The Nazis had conquered most of Europe and Britain was the only remaining holdout. One of the mural's panels shows Stalin, Hilter, and Mussolini banding together as allies — before Hilter invaded Russia.
While Rivera was well-known for his controversial communist politics, he's said to have stood strongly and publicly against the Stalin-Nazi alliance at risk to his own life. (Don't forget that people came to bitter ends over disagreements with Stalin even as far away as Mexico.)
He also advocated passionately for the United States to enter the war and come to the aid of Europe. Probably as a result, Pan American Unity show a rather positive view of the US compared to some of Rivera's other murals. He called it his personal contribution "to ward off the forces of aggression."
"My mural will picture the fusion between the great past of the Latin American lands, as it is deeply rooted in the soil, and the highly mechanical developments of the United States."
~ Diego Rivera
Pan American Unity was originally intended to hang in a library that was never built. US entry into WWII halted all non-essential construction, and a number of things colluded to prevent the installation of the mural on permanent display — the death of architect Timothy Pflueger (Rivera's benefactor in SF), the McCarthy era politics of the 1950s, and the death of Rivera in 1957.
So the mural sat in storage for more than 20 years until it was finally installed in the foyer of the City College of San Francisco's new performing arts theater in 1961, later renamed for Rivera.
Today the theater isn't remotely new, and City College has experienced some very tough times. It's on the brink of losing its accreditation, getting last-minute reprieve after reprieve, and jeopardizing all of it's public funding. Hopefully the community college can correct its deficiencies because according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "City College is the largest public school in California, and one of the largest in the country" with nearly 80,000 students.
The nearby buildings and the theater itself feel weighed down by those challenges, worn and tired. Entering the foyer of the theater to see such a over-sized, elaborate mural felt jarring, like stumbling across a buried treasure. Initially I was let down and disappointed that the mural isn't more accessible and in a better, prettier spot for viewing.
But as I took in panel after panel and reflected on the struggle depicted, I felt sure that Rivera wouldn't want it any other way.
If you enjoyed this post, check out the other three murals by Rivera in San Francisco:
- The Making of a Fresco at the the San Francisco Art Institute
- The Allegory of California at the City Club of San Francisco
- Still Life & Blossoming Almond Trees in Stern Hall at UC Berkeley
