Re-entering PINs or patterns to unlock a smartphone several hundred times a day is a mind-numbing process, so it comes as no surprise that a couple thousand people have rallied behind a way to prevent them from having to do so. SALT is a Bluetooth-connected card that goes into your wallet and, as long as it's in range, saves you from having to interact with a lockscreen. Once it's not in reach, the lockscreen returns.
The MOTA SmartRing has reached its $100,000 funding goal on Indiegogo, so the leagues of people who pledged support for this Bluetooth-connected notification ring can now look forward to receiving their finished product in the spring of next year. And by leagues of people, we mean roughly thirteen hundred, of which around a hundred folks just want T-shirts. A thousand people said they were willing to pay at least $60 to own one of these snazzy rings, which isn't much when we're talking about hardware.
Kickstarter projects appear in any number of shapes and sizes. FreeWavs smart earphones come in at the small end of things. These wireless buds aim specifically at the more active people among us who are tired of cables getting tangled and holding them back, their adrenaline-pumping heavy metal music drowning out the environment around them, and having to carry around so many gadgets to monitor their fitness levels. Now the project has narrowly managed to reach its $300k Kickstarter funding goal with just a day remaining, gathering pledges from over 1,400 people.
Wireless chargers are convenient, but they don't precisely add to the decor of wherever they're placed. Even with the 2013 Nexus charger, which is relatively sleek, I'm happy its magnet is strong enough for me to leave it on the side of a bed frame or side table, keeping it and its cord out of sight. The Pond wireless charging tray promised to take care of this issue, and it did so in a way that attracted enough people (just over 200) for it to narrowly reach its $30,000 Kickstarter funding goal before running out of time.
Mogees has surpassed its £50,000 Kickstarter funding goal with 13 days to go. Why should you care? Listen up. No seriously, click on the video below, and listen up. Written words don't quite do this concept justice.
That's right, Mogees takes any inanimate object and turns it into a musical instrument. The tiny accessory does this by translating vibrations into music notes that pump through your phone's speakers. The Mogees itself is a small sensor that plugs into your Android device, and it comes with a companion app that takes care of the magical bits without any talent on your part.
Routers are complex and intimidating, but this Kickstarter project hopes to address both of these issues. The Soap smart router is an Android-based router with a touch display. Through a simple interface, owners can implement parental controls, set time limits, see what activity is taking place on a network, block ads, create black/lists, monitor network analytics, and look out for potential threads. The idea is that this will be a router that you don't need to be a techie to know how to use, and its promise has attracted enough funds to surpasses its $80k funding goal with 19 days to go.
Thanks to Kickstarter and Indiegogo, there's no shortage of quirky (read: gimmicky) wearable products to throw money at. I won't pretend to understand what makes a product appealing to people, but at last I'm not the only one here at Android Police who has been baffled by some of the projects that have found crowdfunding success. So with this confidence-inducing introduction out of the way, I present to you Fin, a Bluetooth ring with gesture support that looks to be just shy of practical.
Frat boys who have graduated into post-campus life know that there's nothing worse for someone accustomed to being the life of the party than having a keg run out of beer. It's the kind of social embarrassment that few reputations can bounce back from. That (I imagine) is why nearly 300 people have contributed over $30,000 to the Kegbot Kickstarter project, which promises a tablet-powered beer kegerator. Its $15,000 funding goal stands broken with several days remaining before the campaign ends.
My N3RD wants to empower you to take control of every gadget in your house, every appliance waiting idly, and every vehicle in your garage using just your smartphone. How, you ask? First, the project needs $50,000. Check. They team has successfully managed to raise over $51,000 with 18 days left to go. Next, watch this video.
Electronics are getting increasingly affordable, which means even non-enthusiasts these days are ending up with multiple devices they use regularly all needing to get charged at around the same time. Between smartphones, tablets, second tablets, portable media players, smartwatches, and activity trackers, far too many desks, countertops, and side tables are becoming entangled by cables of varying length and size. Therefore it's not difficult to understand why so many people were drawn to the All-Dock Kickstarter project.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Because I find this particularly theme very hard to dominate in the design of a typeface, I ask you typophiles, if there is some references [print ephemera, online resources &c] that could help me to improve my humble 'designs'…
Fábio Santos
I think one question could start the discussion: What is the proportion that a character should have in contrast with it main stroke or stem?
I wish it were that easy. Before one can answer the question of stroke contrast, some questions need to be answered about the intended appearance and use of the face. So, if you asked, "What should be the contrast of a boring bold san serif, for use around 24 point?", one of us could help with an approximate ratio, range, or examples of them.
You can also just look at some fonts like yours and measure them.
Hope that helps.
I found this very illuminating:
The Modification of Letterforms
by Stanley Hess © 1981 Art Direction Book Company
You can tell a question is good when the best answer is "It depends". :-)
However, a couple of Good Rules, for any text face at any target point size:
- The caps should be shorter than the ascenders (unless they're unusually narrow).
- The descenders should be shorter than the ascenders.
My personal rules...
1) try some stuff
2) learn from yourself
3) trust your gut
4) repeat
I know that the answer of this question is 'it dependes'. I ask because I think that proportion is what define a character, i.e if you fail to get a right proportion, your characters look terrible…
But now I start this discussion; I want to pick a typeface and compare two sizes: let's say FF Quadraat Regular at 6pt and FF Quadraat Regular at 24pt;
I resize them to fit in the same x and cap height.
I think the diference do not exist in this example…
But, let's discuss it
Fábio Santos
@mattmatthew I follow the same rules:
5) sometimes you need to get some expertise knowledge.
You're setting the same typeface (that does not have optical sizes) four times larger and then reducing it to a quarter its size, and expecting it to look different? That only makes sense for metal fonts.
That only makes sense for metal fonts.
You mean like this? ;-)
@hrant Now I see the difference :D [I'm dumb]
I make this node because I see some photos about workshops laid on proportion theme. Then, and because when I try drawing some characters at Fontlab, this kind of theme make my head pain.
So, because all of this, I make this node to see what typophiles think and know about it.
Perhaps you'll like this interesting post quoting Frutiger on the subject of proportion. The thread itself is quite interesting as a whole.
Obvious perhaps, but originally proportion was pretty much all based on the size of your the nib on your pen. Calligraphic letters were usually about 7 nib widths high and 4 nib widths wide.
Also, didn't Gill or Frutiger say something about a percentage of black to white that seemed correct to the eye, something like 60% black to 40% white? (Those figures are probably off)

Notice of Public Hearing and Opportunity to Comment on Proposed Regulations
What are we proposing? The IATR Accessibility Committee is proposing Model Regulations for Accessible Taxicabs and For-Hire Vehicles. A copy of the Model Regulations can be found here.
The proposed Definitions and Model Regulations set forth below attempt to address the fact that while many jurisdictions address accessibility to some degree within their local Taxicab and For-Hire Vehicle regulations, there exists no all-encompassing accessibility regulatory framework that addresses each and every issue that is critical to ensure that people with disabilities are afforded equal enjoyment to fully take advantage of public transportation in this arena.
When and where is the Hearing? The Committee will hold an interactive international forum and public hearing on the proposed model regulations. The public hearing will take place at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The hearing will be held at the IATR 27th Annual Conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel located at 601 Loyola Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70113.
Is there a deadline to submit written comments? Yes, you must submit written comments by September 19, 2014 in order to be considered at the September 23, 2014 hearing. After the hearing you may submit additional written comments on or before December 22, 2014.
What if I require an accommodation for my disability in order to attend the conference? If you require an accommodation for your disability, please contact Jason R. Mischel at the above email address, or Sarah Huque at email@example.com on or before September 16, 2014. You can also send requests via the above referenced IATR U.S. Mail address. All requests for accommodation must be received on or before September 16, 2014.
IATR Model Regulations for Accessible Ground Transportation By Professor Matthew W. Daus, Esq.
President, International Association of Transportation Regulators Distinguished Lecturer, University Transportation Research Center (City University of New York/City College)
I am pleased to report that the International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) will be undertaking a very important and extensive project in the New Year that will involve wheelchair accessible service in the ground transportation arena. This is a landscape-changing project that will be somewhat similar to, but even more expansive than, our work in the smartphone application regulatory arena. The IATR board of directors has voted unanimously to commission a project to develop model regulations for accessible transportation. It is anticipated that this project will achieve the same groundbreaking success as the recent two year initiative involving the IATR's creation of model regulations to address smartphone technology advancements and disruption. The smartphone regulations have proven to be a true and valued membership service for the IATR's members, many of whom either participated in the IATR's App Committee to develop the rules, or who have already implemented them in whole or part. As a result of this success, we are now currently undertaking a similar exercise for model specifications for partitions and in-vehicle safety cameras. The initial stages of this project will involve the formation of a committee and working group to solicit ideas, draft regulations and research policy approaches taken in key jurisdictions in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and beyond. While participation on the IATR Accessibility Committee will be limited to regulators, there will be significant opportunities and formats for stakeholders, such as automobile manufacturers and retrofitters, accessibility advocates, tourism officials and others, to participate. We plan to hold an international public hearing in September at the IATR's Annual Conference in New Orleans, scheduled for September 21-24, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency, for interested stakeholders and regulators from around the globe to provide comment and feedback on the proposed regulations. Updated surveys and data collection will be coordinated and will form the factual basis for many of the findings. There have been many recent developments in the United States and beyond that have cast a spotlight on the accessibility issues that have been growing in importance for decades. Many of the issues have centered on challenging the United States Department of Transportation's rules and regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as the parameters of the so-called "taxicab exemption". For example, in New York some of these issues have been, or are currently being, played out in the courts and on the legislative stage, including: the 20% requirement of livery street hail permits to be accessible; the requirement of the submission of a long term disability plan to the state in order for the city to complete accessible medallion and livery street hail permit sales; the effectiveness of tax incentives for taxi owners who purchase an accessible, or retrofit an inaccessible, taxi; whether an Accessible Dispatch program provides equivalent service to wheelchair users who do not have access to a fully accessible taxi fleet; and if the so-called "Taxi of Tomorrow" must be accessible or not due to the fact that its design resembles a minivan. There have been accessibility developments elsewhere, both domestically and internationally. In Washington, DC, after introducing its first wheelchair accessible taxi service in 2011 under its "rollDC" pilot program, it was announced earlier this year that the program would continue with an increase in funding to provide more accessible taxis and service; in Ontario, Canada, the passage of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act requires municipalities to determine the proportion of accessible taxis needed in their communities; in Australia, the State Government of Victoria has commissioned its Taxi Services Commission to undertake major reforms for its taxi and for-hire car industry, including plans to introduce more accessible vehicles, driver training and a dispatch system; and in London, UK, where all of its taxis are accessible, Transport for London created an "Accessibility App" competition for smartphone apps that will soon be decided and will provide a critical resource with a host of accessibility needs for disabled passengers. One of the primary issues that regulators have been dealing with, aside from the quantity of vehicles that are and should be wheelchair accessible, is the very meaning of the term "accessible" itself as it pertains to vehicle design, dimensions and specifications. Further, other concerns facing passengers, industry owners, drivers and regulators alike include safety and standards associated with retrofitting vehicles to include wheelchair ramps, as well as the higher operational and insurance costs associated therewith. As a result, a number of compelling questions have arisen from these and other issues surrounding this topic. For example, how far should regulations go in terms of dictating requirements from a licensing point of view, as opposed to simply relying on, or seeking to change, federal anti-discrimination laws (e.g. the Americans with Disabilities Act) or laws relating to the safety and manufacturing standards imposed on manufacturers directly (e.g., the National Highway Traffic & Safety Administration's regulations)? Should other agencies with equipment, vehicle and engineering expertise be relied upon, or should ground transportation licensing agencies take matters into their own hands? And should cities like New York and Chicago be in the business of using government-run or contracted central dispatch systems to deploy a limited or proportional number of accessible taxis and for-hire vehicles, or should we alternatively be taking a path towards 100% accessibility of all vehicles? These are just some of the many challenges we will seek to find solutions to. This project will analyze regulatory best practices worldwide, and will include not just the type of preferred or legally compliant vehicles, but also the broader role of other related transportation modes and how mass transit and private paratransit companies can integrate and work more closely with taxicab, sedan and limousine services. The emergence of brokerage models by human resource agencies in the paratransit world, as well as mass transit agencies deploying and utilizing sedans and taxicabs as a cheaper, more efficient and environmentally conscious substitute for multi-passenger vans dispatched along irregular routes, is one such future approach that will be considered and discussed. There is no doubt that there will be widely disparate viewpoints that will be expressed. There were many who said that the development and drafting of model definitions for the terms "limousine" and "taxicab" were too difficult and controversial of a topic to touch; yet, last year, the IATR issued well regarded and almost universally applauded model regulations for smartphone applications that did just that, and are currently being relied upon extensively by our members so they do not need to recreate the regulatory wheel. Our goal this year is to do the same for accessibility, an issue that seems to never go away and keeps being raised year after year, with no viable long-term solution or plan in sight that would satisfy all stakeholders. We need to take control of the issue, put our hands on the regulatory wheel and place ourselves in the driver's seat as regulators, and not simply be back seat passengers watching the scenery unfold while issues are being framed or developed by others. It is part of the core mission of our members' agencies to serve passengers and ensure equal, safe and efficient access to transportation for all, a mission that is shared at IATR. We look forward to an inclusive, informative, deliberative and thorough process of identifying and supporting best practices and the development of model regulations for accessible transportation. If you are interested in participating in this process, please contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Professor Matthew W. Daus, Esq. IATR President
January 21. 2014 The United States Conference of Mayors 1620 Eye Street, Northwest Washington, DC 20006 Dear Mayors: I would like to welcome each and every one of our nation's Mayors to this year's Conference of Mayors, and take just a few moments of your time to highlight an important transportation related public safety issue that most of you have the authority and responsibility to address. Our organization – the International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) - is a non-profit education and advocacy group representing government agencies around the world, including virtually every major city in the United States. Our mission includes ensuring that drivers and businesses licensed to operate taxicabs and limousines do not injure passengers, other drivers and pedestrians; and to enforce safety regulations such as minimum insurance liability coverage, traffic rules and driver criminal background checks. The task of providing transportation service to the public is far more complex than can be understood through social media "hype" over the latest gadget. Some of the newer smartphone application transportation companies are trying to abolish transportation regulations and safety oversight by claiming that they provide a superior service. They are doing so in order to easily enter and "take-over" the market by using hundreds of millions of private equity backed investments to lobby for decreased safety standards, fight the plethora of lawsuits against them by passengers and drivers, and engage in aggressive social media marketing designed to distort the truth and defame businesses and individuals. Some companies deploying these devices have already seriously hurt, and will not help, your constituents. This lack of accountability is most recently exemplified by Uber's denial of responsibility in the tragic death of a 6-year-old child in San Francisco on New Year's Eve. The driver of this vehicle was arrested following the accident, and we have since learned that he was previously convicted of reckless driving in Florida. Instead of offering condolences and an apology for its perceived failure to vet this driver, Uber callously claimed they are not responsible. In fact, they have used an outrageous disclaimer in its lengthy contract with consumers that states: You understand, therefore, that by using the (Uber) application and the service, you may be exposed to transportation that is potentially dangerous, offensive, harmful to minors, unsafe, or otherwise objectionable, and that you use the application and the service at your own risk. New technology has not replaced the need to enforce laws which: • Require criminal background and driving record review of licensed drivers; • Require minimum commercial insurance liability coverage limits; • Ensure that drivers' tips or gratuities are not taken by the company owner; • Prohibit "surge", demand and predatory pricing where customers are routinely overcharged and price-gouged– especially in times of disaster, which occurred during Hurricane Sandy and other severe weather events; • Ensure wheelchair accessible service to the disabled, and universal access to transportation service for every neighborhood and person; and • Provide control over the number of licensed vehicles to address traffic congestion and limit greenhouse gas emissions. Elected officials must realize that when they allow unregulated entities with few demonstrable business ethics to operate in their communities, businesses that provide service only to affluent, able-bodied customers, they abdicate their local responsibility for the safety of the public and the regulation of taxicabs and limousines. The community values of universal service and accountability set by previous generations of local leaders are discarded to the detriment of the vast majority of constituents. The IATR invites our political leaders, regulators and concerned citizens to study these issues thoughtfully. The IATR's model smartphone app regulations, which can be accessed at http://www.iatr.memberlodge.org/resources/Documents/Model%20Regulations/Model%20Regulations%20-%20IATR%20issued%20September%202013%20(10796289-18).pdf , accommodate and promote new technologies, while at the same time ensure that public safety, accountability, environmental and consumer protection standards are met. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Professor Matthew W. Daus, Esq. IATR President

I was astonished when I read this! A group of about 7 of us from my office had reservations there for a special celebration and when we arrived we were literally greeted by no one. We stood there at the front of the restaurant for several minutes while people looked at us and kept walking by. The service was horrible and there weren't even that many people in the restaurant. We had to keep asking our server for drink refills, more bread, etc. The food was amazing, but for the price, I thought the service should have been stepped up about 10 notches. Must have been an off night.
Best Front-of-the-House Staff Denver 2014 - Wooden Table
2500 E. Orchard Ave.
Greenwood Village, CO 80121
At this lovely restaurant, chef Brett Shaheen turns out Italian-inspired dishes that deserve standing ovations (his pappardelle with venison and chicken-liver mousse is remarkable), and he'll bring your clapping to a roar with his crimson-hued lamb chops plated with a mushroom turnover. But it's the effervescent presence of front-of-the-house veteran and general manager Gary Keller that resonates throughout the lively dining room. Keller — whose combined decades of running the floor at Panzano, Palace Arms, and the shuttered Cafe Giovanni, Cliff Young's and Highland's Garden Cafe have made him the city's most consummate professional and committed caretaker — graciously touches every table, educating guests about his new stunner of a wine list, cheeses from around the globe and the anatomy of Shaheen's plates. He makes every guest feel like royalty, but there's no pretense to his performance — just effortless smiles and big-hearted hugs or handshakes that make you feel like you're the star of the show. Well played, sir.

Holy Week is about to start tomorrow (it officially started in the Philippines today) and it has been a practice among Roman Catholics to abstain from meat. Pork, chicken, beef, goat meat and other types of meat are usually out of the picture during this time of the year. Vegetables and seafood are commonly consumed unless you are fasting.
Instead of putting your attention in thinking about the simple meals that you need to prepare this week, try to focus more on the spiritual aspect of life. We already collated 12 meals that you can prepare for your family during this season; all you need to do is choose.
Here are 12 of our suggestions:

Two weeks ago, I posted about a Gallup survey that asked workers whether or not their jobs are ideal. One trend that emerged from the survey highlighted young workers and their dissatisfaction with their jobs. Dissatisfaction might be misleading, but the young workers are less likely than their older colleagues to consider their jobs ideal. The connection to low pay is a likely factor, but another issue could factor into the equation, too.
Yet a story that ran on NPR yesterday brings up another point: Young workers are concerned about work-life balance. The story explains that work-life balance is nothing new, but employers have historically associated the issue with working parents, not young newcomers.
You may have heard that millennials in the workplace are lazy and feel "entitled," but sociologist Phyllis Moen says that's a bad rap. She says young workers simply don't want to wait decades until retirement for their quality of life — an attitude that has been reinforced by the recession, as they've seen parents and boomer relatives lose their jobs.
The story went on to explain that work-life balance is not just the concern of working parents or millennials. Every age group wants to find personal time away from their busy professional lives. Just last week we mentioned the e-leash and how it's restraining workers on a daily basis. As the article points out, the younger generation of workers is comfortable with gadgetry and views technology as a tool that enables them to work away from the office or on their own clock. Not everyone, including your boss, agrees, but this view is a reality of today's workplace. In many professions, being at a cubicle is irrelevant to getting work done and workers wonder why they don't have a little more flexibility.
Employers might think they offer an adequate amount of flexibility, while workers see it differently.
[Research] also shows that employees don't find their workplaces nearly as flexible as managers report. Work-family experts say arrangements often appear more generous on paper than in practice and can be highly dependent on the generosity of immediate supervisors.
If work-life balance matters to you, keep the following tips in mind when looking for a job or considering a discussion with your boss:
-Can my job be performed from home?
-Would a flexible schedule (working earlier and leaving earlier or working later and leaving later) affect your job or your colleagues negatively?
-What work-life issues aren't you willing to compromise on?
-Does your employer (or future employer) stress the importance of a work-life balance or does its values clash with your needs?
-How do you define work-life balance for yourself?
Balancing your personal and professional lives isn't easy, and you could find yourself frustrated with your situation if you don't understand what's important to you. If you're interviewing for a job or want to discuss new arrangements with your boss, walk into the meeting room knowing what you want.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – The South Dakota Senate has approved a measure that would provide financial incentives to encourage construction of wind power projects in the state.
The Senate voted 26-7 to send the proposal to the House of Representatives.
The bill would give a wind project an incentive payment roughly equal to 2 percent of the construction cost, but wind farms would pay higher taxes later after they begin operating.
The bill's main sponsor, Sen. Larry Rhoden of Union Center, says an incentive payment is needed because South Dakota taxes applied during construction of a wind farm are far higher than those imposed in nearby states.
But Sen. David Omdahl of Sioux Falls says he opposes incentives because such projects should stand on their own without government subsidies.

I am a new homeowner with a gas fireplace. It is a Majestic MRC42a. I know how to light the fire and all, but the room it is in doesn't seem to get warm. it is in a large room with a vaulted ceiling. On the opposite side of the room is a lookout for second floor. If you stand there, it's warm! But I am sitting ten feet from the fire and my feet are cold. Is this normal? My other question is in the owners manual, it mentions an outside air combustion. It says there is a lever on the left side. I have no lever there. However, I do have a lever on the lower right side that slide in and out. Any ideas what it is, the manual is no help. Thanks for any insight on making my fireplace work as it should! |

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Sweet and tangy, bread and butter pickles are a perfect foil to all of summer's favorite foods, and they can be done in just a couple hours.
A mouth-puckering good Indian lime pickle. Plus some general info on Indian sun pickles and Middle Eastern preserved citrus.
I drink the brine on this one. I kid you not. This is a super old-fashioned pickle so self consciously retro that it's modern again—ready for its place on your Aunt Bitty's relish tray alongside the three-bean salad and the pickled beets.
When the weather outside is frightening... make this!
What to do with all that zucchini? Sub it for cucumbers for easy refrigerator pickles! After a few days marinating in the frig, these are colored nicely, packed with flavor, and crisp. Even zucchini haters will like them. Easy, no-canning method.

By all accounts, Scarlett Johansson has recovered from her 2010 split from Ryan Reynolds, her husband of two years, but, she admits, "It wasn't that long ago!"
Still, "I've had a fair amount of time to process the experience and move forward," she tells Marie Claire in its May issue. "I continue to get to know myself better as I get older, and that helps me in my relationships."
Currently, the actress, 28, is happily dating French creative agency manager Romain Dauriac, 30, with whom she has been spotted roaming the streets of Paris and New York City. He even accompanied her to the after-party for opening night of her Broadway show, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," where the two kissed and mingled with her castmates and loved ones.
Says Johansson: "I'm sure we were absolutely, like, ridiculous together."
That kind of carefree rapport is exactly what Johansson says she's always looking for in a partner.
"I don't like jealous behavior," she tells the magazine, on newsstands April 16. "I don't mind the occasional check-in, but when somebody is passive-aggressively jealous, it's really unattractive because it shows a sort of insecurity. … Oh, controlling behavior is awful. Nobody's going to say they love that!"

First off, this dude won't stop chewing food with his mouth open, and he's making you super-uncomfortable with his inappropriate jokes. At least you feel confident and comfortable in this scoop-neck dress with back cut-out self-tie detail. Now all you have to do is think of a way to excuse yourself from the table and hit the road before he tries to ask you out on a second date.

This is the last i'm going to add on this.
Firstly, i personally regret that i didn't include Werner's name
immediately as attribution. He, along with half a dozen other devs in
the community get my continued respect and admiration, not only for
the quality of their work, their immense skills, and just as
importantly, their willingness to interact in a user/dev relationship
and discussion of equals in our own fields, with mutual agreement on
functions and features, or a friendly and respectful challenge
structure where the use case has to been profoundly proven, and if
necessary, discarded without malice, or derisory sarcasm, and
To be absolutely clear.
The current MusE team, for whom i have no hard feellings at all,
decided we were going too fast, with too many changes, and they were
uncomfortable with the the modifications we wanted to add. They told
us to fork the project and leave. We did that. And as is normal
practise, as so many of you have firmly stated, that's opensource in
Had we had a friendly reminder from those in the "community" we'd
missed out the attributions, we would have been fine with that. But
instead, the "team" came out the blocks with their omnipotent
judgement that we'd transgressed, and were evil scum. (paraphrasing)
Contrast that with the raw contempt, derision, and mocking dismissal
of others who are willing to have a good laugh at testers, however
clumsy they may be, and poke fun at the idea that users and devs can
interact in a prosperous partnership for both. I've personally tested
for at least 3 projects, day and night, providing feedback to the
devs, at their request, only to be dismissed out of hand when i've
turned up with reports, observations, etc...
Then there's the swearing and insults when suggestions are made to
improve workflow. Whether they're accepted or not, it seems that for
some devs, making these suggestions is akin to telling them they're
failing in some way, or the idea that improvements could be made to
their app is an insult. I've personally endured hate mail, a raft of
swearing and aggresive suggestion to more or less "go away", mockery,
and outright dismissal out of hand from those devs who assume they
know better than anyone what they think users want, and are
contemptuous in their dismissal of anything else. That's up to them,
but eventually those alienated users go away, with the impression this
is hostile environment. some will just disappear, and others will seek
to find another solution.
That's fine, and those devs who seem to enjoy themselves in the Ivory
tower have the right to treat people as they want.
In the last 3 years, there are a handful of devs for whom I have the
greatest of respect, and will continue to do so, based on a decent and
intelligent user /dev relationship. They've NEVER uttered a harsh
word, or spoken with any form of contempt towards what are sometimes
"dumb user questions".
I'm tired of the one way relationship with those who are enthusiastic
to cling to their programs, dismissing out of hand, in the fear of
some idea of losing something if they change it, or modify it, or, and
this isn't a rare event, dismiss out of hand constructive and well
presented use cases, because they don't see any value in their little
world, or more appropriately, comfort zone.
To be absolutely clear.
I'm an altruist when it comes to OpenSource. I WANT to see devs
getting credit for their work with users, and i will help in that
process if i can. I bring many years of user experience on the shop
floor, so to speak, and i'm more than willing to share that knowledge,
as i have done for 3 years since i arrive in Linux, to see the WHOLE
community go forward, and gain the respect they deserve.
But i will focus my efforts with those devs who are least willing to
listen, and for whom i have a great deal of respect, and if the
answer's no, then it happens out of mutual respect, and not the other
variety of "the answer's no, i'm not listening, chortle,chortle."
I haven't named those devs who i respect and admire, because as this
latest fiasco shows, they may suffer for some sort of perceived
alliance with me or anyone in the OOP team, or those other user and
devs in the community who have already drifted away for the same
reasons i am, and code quietly and efficiently in the shadows.
And just for the record.
I will not take that contempt, derision, and clumsy insinuation from
those who assume an self-exalted self realising omnipotent position of
authority. Nor would any of you in the same position.
I've already had the start of hate mail and judgemental condemnations
from the acolytes, but that's a given in any group or people. Enjoy
yourselves if that's what rocks your boat.
The OpenOctaveProject remains committed to Opensource tools and option
for both users, and devs, alike. We will continue to follow this path,
and do so in the hope that we can build a base from which a stable
workflow pipeline is a wonderful asset for the Linux Audio Community,
as a whole, and the perception of the community, and it's reputation,
is enhanced as a result.
We will do this in co-operation with ANYONE who's interested in
bringing together a great working environment for musicians and
composers of many types, including those of us who write orchestral,
radio, and film music for a living. If an app needs some love to
enhance it's USERS toolset, in conjunction with other apps, as part of
a consistent and reliable base that users can enjoy, and be
comfortable with, then we'll help, and offer design suggestions. We've
ALWAYS done that. Some devs have accepted or rejected those
suggestions with intelligent discussion and some enthusiasm, and
others have done exactly and often belligerently, the opposite.
This is the last i'll post on this particular subject, as it's more or
less wasted on those who won't consider another perspective, and
frankly seem to enjoy the...."scandal" of it all.
My respect for those devs who are willing to interact without
contempt, derision, mockery, dismissal, swearing, paranoia, etc,
remains undimmed. They know who i'm referring to, and my door is
always open for another perspective, and possibly more clumsy testing,
on User workflow and design, whether it's added or not. I have enjoyed
many decent discussions with those skilled, intelligent, and decent
people, and learned much along the way as they generously share their
own opinion, and ideas. I sincerely hope that continues.
Once again, i regret not adding Werner's attribution, and i offer my
unreserved apologies to you, Werner, if you feel offended by this, or
slighted in any way. It wasn't deliberate, or in any way an attempt to
commandeer your excellent work without recognition. If OOP continues
to grow at the same rate, and experienced users keep jumping on board,
the recognition of your work will reach an ever widening audience, as
it will for all those devs with whom we have a decent partnership,
want to see succeed in a wider user base, and be recognised for their
outstanding work going into the future.
To the rest, who gleefully jumped in with both feet with their
condemnations, judgements, and sometimes sly, sometimes deceitful, but
always relentless character assassination, I don't care. I'm not
interested. If that's the sum total of your existence, i feel pity for
Enjoy yourselves, i'm back to work, and the next step forward.

If you have a client that connects to a server via plain text protocol such as HTTP or FTP, with this command you can monitor the messages that the client sends to the server. Application level text stream will be dumped on the command line as well as saved in a file called proxy.txt.
You have to change 8080 to the local port where you want your client to connect to. Change also 192.168.0.1 to the IP address of the destination server and 80 to the port of the destination server.
Then simply point your client to localhost 8080 (or whatever you changed it to).
The traffic will be redirected to host 192.168.0.1 on port 80 (or whatever you changed them to).
Any requests from the client to the server will be dumped on the console as well as in the file "proxy.txt".
Unfortunately the responses from the server will not be dumped.
This command allows to follow up a trace on SDP (CS5.2), at the same time as the trace records are stored in the file with "raw" format.
Trace files in native format are useful to filter the records before to translation from '|' to '\n'.

This will write to TAPE (LTO3-4 in my case) a backup of files/folders. Could be changed to write to DVD/Blueray.
Go to the directory where you want to write the output files : cd /bklogs
Enter a name in bkname="Backup1", enter folders/files in tobk="/home /var/www".
It will create a tar and write it to the tape drive on /dev/nst0.
In the process, it will
1) generate a sha512 sum of the tar to $bkname.sha512; so you can validate that your data is intact
2) generate a filelist of the content of the tar with filesize to $bkname.lst
3) buffer the tar file to prevent shoe-shining the tape (I use 4GB for lto3(80mb/sec), 8gb for lto4 (120mb/sec), 3Tb usb3 disks support those speed, else I use 3x2tb raidz.
4) show buffer in/out speed and used space in the buffer
5) show progress bar with time approximation using pv
To eject the tape :
; sleep 75; mt-st -f /dev/nst0 rewoffl
1) When using old tapes, if the buffer is full and the drive slows down, it means the tape is old and would need to be replaced instead of wiping it and recycling it for an other backup. Logging where and when it slows down could provide good information on the wear of the tape. I don't know how to get that information from the mbuffer output and to trigger a "This tape slowed down X times at Y1gb, Y2gb, Y3gb down to Zmb/s for a total of 30sec. It would be wise to replace this tape next time you want to write to it."
2) Fix filesize approximation
3) Save all the output to $bkname.log with progress update being new lines. (any one have an idea?)
4) Support spanning on multiple tape.
5) Replace tar format with something else (dar?); looking at xar right now (https://code.google.com/p/xar/), xml metadata could contain per file checksum, compression algorithm (bzip2, xv, gzip), gnupg encryption, thumbnail, videopreview, image EXIF... But that's an other project.
1) You can specify the width of the progressbar of pv. If its longer than the terminal, line refresh will be written to new lines. That way you can see if there was speed slowdown during writing.
2) Remove the v in tar argument cvf to prevent listing all files added to the archive.
3) You can get tarsum (http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2009/04/29/tarsum-02-a-read-only-version-of-tarsum/)
and add >(tarsum --checksum sha256 > $bkname_list.sha256) after the tee to generate checksums of individual files !
You have an external USB drive or key.
Apply this command (using the file path of anything on your device) and it will simulate the unplug of this device.
If you just want the port, just type :
echo $(sudo lshw -businfo | grep -B 1 -m 1 $(df "/path/to/file" | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c 6-8) | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c 5- | tr ":" "-")
Many circumstances call for creating variable of a summary result while still printing the original pipe. Inserting "tee >(cat >&2)" allows the command output to still be printed while permitting the same output to be processed into a variable.
Securely stream a file from a remote server (and save it locally).
Useful if you're impatient and want to watch a movie immediately and download it at the same time without using extra bandwidth.
This is an extension of snipertyler's idea.
Note: This command uses an encrypted connection, unlike the original.
Requires a listening port on HOST
eg. "cat movie.mp4 | nc -l 1356 " (cat movie.mp4 | nc -l PORT)
Useful if you're impatient and want to watch a movie immediately and download it at the same time without using extra bandwidth.
You can't seek (it'll crash and kill the stream) but you can pause it.
This is to overcome the issue of slow I/O by reading once and forwarding the output to several processes (e. g. 3 in the given command). One could also invoke grep or other programs to work on read data.
Sets the @ A record for your domain hosted by namecheap to your current internet-facing IP address, logs success or failure with syslog, and logs the data returned to /root/dnsupdate.
Change the XXX's as appropriate.
More info at: http://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/29/
Pipes the header row of ps to STDERR, then greps for the command on the output of ps, removing the grep entry before that.
Replace the first part of the command above with the appropriate timezone string. Eg: 'Europe/London' or for UTC - 'Etc/UTC'. The appropriate string can be found from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
This is useful when your server is installed by a data centre (managed hardware, VPS, etc) and the timezone is not usually set to the one your prefer.
Very similar as doing "wget http://example.com/mytarball|tar xzv", this one involves the "tee" command between both, which will simultaneously write the tarball and copy it to stdout. So this command will locally save the tarball and extract it - both at the same time while it downloads.
Sometimes when copying files from one place to another, the timestamps get lost. Maybe you forgot to add a flag to preserve timestamps in your copy command. You're sure the files are exactly the same in both locations, but the timestamps of the files in the new home are wrong and you need them to match the source.
Using this command, you will get a shell script (/tmp/retime.sh) than you can move to the new location and just execute - it will change the timestamps on all the files and directories to their previous values. Make sure you're in the right directory when you launch it, otherwise all the touch commands will create new zero-length files with those names. Since find's output includes "." it will also change the timestamp of the current directory.
Ideally rsync would be the way to handle this - since it only sends changes by default, there would be relatively little network traffic resulting. But rsync has to read the entire file contents on both sides to be sure no bytes have changed, potentially causing a huge amount of local disk I/O on each side. This could be a problem if your files are large. My approach avoids all the comparison I/O. I've seen comments that rsync with the "--size-only" and "--times" options should do this also, but it didn't seem to do what I wanted in my test. With my approach you can review/edit the output commands before running them, so you can tell exactly what will happen.
The "tee" command both displays the output on the screen for your review, AND saves it to the file /tmp/retime.sh.
Credit: got this idea from Stone's answer at http://serverfault.com/questions/344731/rsync-copying-over-timestamps-only?rq=1, and combined it into one line.

Boy battling cancer asks for birthday cards from police
Tyler Seddon is about to turn 7 and would like cards from his favorite first responders
By PoliceOne Staff
PASCOAG, R.I. — A boy who has been diagnosed with leukemia for the second time is about to celebrate his seventh birthday, and wants to receive cards from his favorite heroes: police and firefighters.
Tyler Seddon, 6, is undergoing chemotherapy while doctors search for a bone marrow donor, according to WCVB.
"He goes crazy over firefighters and police," said Tyler's mother, Rachel. "We want this to be a special birthday, because you never know what could be next."
A Facebook page and a GoFundMe account have been set up to keep the community updated on Tyler's progress and help with donations as he awaits his birthday, which is March 6.
Birthday cards for Tyler can be sent to 96 South Main Street, Pascoag, R.I. 02859
There will be a "be the match drive" and a blood drive at the Pascoag Fire Department on February 25 from 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., according to ABC6.

If you've got it, flaunt it! Coco turned heads as she hit the red carpet to host the Halloween "Player's Ball" at LAX nightclub inside the Luxor Resort Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday evening. Wearing a sexy, devil costume, she showed off all her assets and left little to the imagination.
She was joined by hubby Ice-T, who dressed up as Hannibal Lecter. Once inside, the two partied all night -- even taking time to pose for photos with fans.
Last month, Coco helped designer Richie Rich debut his SVEDKA_GRL Halloween costume. She struck a pose in the curve-hugging ensemble. But the reveal didn't come without a wardrobe malfunction earlier in the evening. She made quite an entrance during Richie Rich's special runway show held at Lavo Nightclub -- flashing the entire audience with a nip slip. Oops!
Although clearly shocked, Coco quickly pulled up her top and remained a total pro. After the show, she told Celebuzz the outfit didn't fit her properly because she was fitted about ten minutes before the show.
"The fabric was so slippery. I knew there was going to be a malfunction!" she said, shrugging her shoulders. "Oh well. That's life. What are you going to do?"

Table-top Particle Accelerator Created
Re:egghead (55 comments)
That's not true. The term dates back to the first decade of the 20th C. as slang for "bald". Chicago newspapermen picked up on the word and started using it to mean someone with intellectual pretensions and the term gained widespread popularization in 1952 when New York Herald Tribune columnist Stewart Alsop used it to refer to the presidential campaign of Adlai Stevenson.

So I came for some afternoon tea at the Fairmont with my friends on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted and guided to our table with no delay. We ordered our teas which were served to us promptly followed by our goodies (pictured below). I chose the "Fairmont Vancouver Airport Jetsetter" tea which was alright. One of my friend's teas, the "Safari Masala Express," was exceptionally good. The "Fairmont Express`and the "Berry Berry" were alright. What I liked about the teas, was that they were served in a glass jar that allowed us to steep the tea for as long as we like and kept the drinks warm throughout.
The Food
We requested that all our food be vegetarian. The sandwiches were boring and a bit dry. The bagel sandwich was too chewy. The only good thing on this tier was the Curried Egg Salad croissant.
The Orange and Cranberry Scones were pretty good. They were fresh, flaky, not too sweet and tasted great with the butter and jam.
The sweet stuff were all a bit boring, except for the Opera Slice chocolate cake in the middle. The green tea slice of cake was actually quite bad with a bitter flavour that was very off-putting.
Overall, the food was not great except for the scones and one of the cakes which were really good and the tea was alright. The service was good, and the place looked nice and high end. However, it isn't really the place I would go for high tea. I would prefer a more homely ambiance. My friends and I decided that we probably won't return just because of the food not being so great. If the food were better, we most likely would have returned.

Hello everyone. I wonder if it is normal for Euphorbia capsaintemariensis to behave like this ..... leaves began to dry but leaves that are at the top. Whole winter it had normal leaves, it did not grow. However, in late February one leaf started to dry, now I see that another is drying to. The picture is little blurry but I think you can see what is happening. Help. |

Your soil is quite unsuitable for this plant from the southern tip of Madagascar - it needs a porous soil, and what you have it in is quite the opposite. Read up on soil here and repot it in a mix that's more suited to the plant. If you can find only perlite, cut that soil with an addition of 75% perlite - the peaty mix you have it in can be ameliorated if you use a high percentage of a material inducing drainage and air circulation. So, in a few words, your plant's not going to look its best in winter anyway (this is primarily a summer-growing species), but it's really taking its lumps because of the soil it's in. |
This post was edited by cactusmcharris on Wed, Mar 6, 13 at 14:49
All Euphorbias from the Madagascar part of the world need to have for soil to provide growth and good health is, anything rocky, grainy, and/or gritty. Other easy to find mix items include Perlit (as mentioned) NAPA Floor Dry or NAPA Oil Dry and Sifted coarser sands ( NOT PLAY GROUND SAND ) 50 pound bag of construction all purpose sand will still need to be sifted, you want the bigger sizes of the bags gravel. After rinsed the combined sifted mix should be USE extreme care while handling from one pot to the next AVOID contact with a toxic White sap, mist the sap lightly to help it slow or stop. Wash hands and all areas that came close with soap and water after re-potting is done. As Jeff said drainage needs to be fast your soil in pic is eventually going to compact tightly choke it's roots and rot the remaining top . Not mentioned is where you live by zone or location. Either way at this point for the one in pic re-pot as soon as you can. |
I re-potted my plant. I hope it will survive. Thank you very much :) |
Bright and warm it may drop it's leaves it has but new growth should be seen in due time. If not wait a couple weeks slowly intro it back to watering by short stream sips at outer rim side of pot no gulps. |
They can only take so much dryness in a small pot. Mine is next to a hot sunny window all summer..and its gone through it all..thriving,flowering...to defoliating when I've forgotten to water . And its done that for about four years now. |

I happened across this old post while doing some research about my plant that I thought was E. capsaintemariensis, but had been questioned by someone. They were under the impression it grew more flat and not upright. I don't know if the originator of this post is still active or will even see this, but I am curious as to the outcome? I also wonder if the plant is E. decaryi? I note the leaves are not as "ruffled" as one would expect on E. decaryi, but that could be due to how it's being grown????? Yet the stem is dark in color and very rough like E. decaryi?????? So does anyone think my plant is something other than E. capsaintemariensis???? |
Howard, You have the best of every plant I have seen. Very healty and well grown. I know you will do some thing with those flowers when they bloom. Stush |

Thanks Stan. That is one of my seedlings that is about 4 yrs old. And, yes, I will be pollinating it with my stock plant. |

To provide access I was going to put some stepping stones in the bog I am contemplating, I assume these need to be mounted on 'pillars' which are in turn sit on the liner. Since I dont have real stone the stepping stones would be concrete and the pillars will either be concrete or what is called thermalite. The latter looks like aerated cement.
Will the bog dissolve the pillar etc? Is concrete, even 20-30 year old concrete/cement, bad for a bog? I assume there will be some dissolving but I dont know how rapid this will be or its effect on the bog? |

The lime in the concrete/cement will over the course of a few years completely alter the PH of your bog, and I would not recommend it's use. I would recommend the use of logs for pillars. the acidity of the bog will not promote the rapid decay of the wood and if stone tops are what you are looking for sandstone is the best way to go. |
