With Fairmind, you can anonymously describe and evaluate your friends and check how they describe and evaluate you.
What do your friends think about you? What are their opinions on your personality, your clothing and your hairstyle? Do they think you're funny, brainy or trusty? With a new web app called Fairmind, people can describe how they really feel about you. You can also use Fairmind to post 'personal reviews' about your friends. This all is anonymously for the users
When you change your profile picture on a social media platform, there's a good chance that your online friends will tell you what they think about your new picture. Fairmind takes this a step further by allowing friends, who used Fairmind, to add anonymous descriptions. Examples of such descriptions include, 'He really helped me out when I needed him and I'm trying to figure out a way to return the favour.' or 'She knows lots of corny jokes. Next time you see her, ask her to tell you one.'
Along with personal descriptions, 'reviewers' can use the app to rate their friends on personality (friendly, brainy, funny and trusty) and looks (clothing, hairstyle, body and charisma).
With Fairmind, friends can 'like' descriptions by using the trademark thumbs-up. Or they can use the thumbs-down to show that they disagree. This gives you an idea of what others think about you and also allows you to add your opinion about your friends. Also users has the possibility to follow people.

Spring is the time when many people decide to give their homes a thorough cleaning. It's also the perfect time for scam artists to offer spring-cleaning services that take advantage of overwhelmed homeowners.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns homeowners and renters to be aware of the following "spring cleaning" scams:
Air Quality Survey
BBB is receiving consumer calls daily about telemarketers conducting an "air quality survey." A confusing and unclear phone call typically leads to a scheduled appointment for a salesperson to come to your home to perform an air quality test. In reality, the salesperson is coming to do a vacuum demonstration with the intention of selling you an expensive vacuum they claim will purify the air in your home.
Carpet Cleaning
If you plan to clean your carpet this season, you may want to carefully consider who'll do the job. Is it a do-it-yourself project or is it best left to a professional? Many reputable carpet-cleaning services exist, but it's also an industry where scammers prevail. Unscrupulous carpet cleaners are known for using bait and switch tactics. A company advertises carpet cleaning services at a low price. Once the workers arrive, they quickly suggest a more expensive treatment for cleaning your carpets or mid-way through cleaning (while you carpets are wet and soapy) they inform you it will cost much more than anticipated to finish.
Furnace Servicing
Be aware of a scam in which homeowners are duped into buying a new furnace or authorizing expensive, but unneeded repairs, to their existing heating system by contractors using scare tactics. In some instances, con artists may try to frighten you with warnings that your system is leaking dangerous gases, which could explode or poison those inside the house.
Extra Materials for Home Repair
A classic springtime scam comes in the form a surprise knock on the door from a contractor who happens to have materials left over from a recent nearby job. The contractor offers a cut-rate price on the materials and labour to fix up your home. These contractors are often fly-by-night operators or handymen who may or may not be qualified to perform the task. In many instances, the cost of labour and materials they offer is not always a good deal, the work they complete is sub-par and, while working at your home, they often suggest other unnecessary repairs they could do for you, for an additional cost.
To protect yourself from becoming a victim of spring-cleaning scams consider the following:
* Don't make spur-of-the-moment decisions. Take your time to do some comparison shopping before spending your money.
* Get estimates or quotes for labour and materials on a job from at least three reputable sources.
* Always research the contractor in advance. Visit bbb.org to check out a business's BBB Reliability Report. Ask your friends, family or neighbours for referrals.
* Once you decide who'll help with your spring-cleaning project, get a written, signed agreement. Clearly outline what specific tasks will be performed, when they will be completed and what the total costs will be.
Make your spring-cleaning experience a refreshing one by choosing to work with people and businesses you trust.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
The massive crowds amassing in Tahrir Square today, more massive than any that have gathered since the uprising began two weeks ago, say that the efforts the Egyptian government is making to quell the revolution are having little impact on the street. And this presents the Obama administration with an opportunity: Make a big statement supporting the protesters' call for more dramatic and immediate change.
Last week, I'd thought that the U.S. was handling the Egyptian uprising reasonably well. It is a very difficult thing, and I generally appreciate President Barack Obama's tendency towards caution and prudence. But as things look now, his caution and prudence—as evidenced by his voicing support for the baby steps Vice President Omar Suleiman has been taking toward instituting reform—is leaving him behind the curve in a way that could have a very damaging effect in terms of public perception. Among a public with whom, and at a time when, public perception is very important. From today's New York Times:
"The result has been to feed a perception, on the streets of Cairo and elsewhere, that the United States, for now at least, is putting stability ahead of democratic ideals, and leaving hopes of nurturing peaceful, gradual change in large part in the hands of Egyptian officials—starting with Mr. Suleiman—who have every reason to slow the process."
As long as Suleiman, the military man, spy chief, alleged torturer and departing President Hosni Mubarak's longtime consigliere is in charge of the transition, the transition is not in a healthy state. Press Secretary Robert Gibb's usage of the term "unacceptable," yesterday, to describe Suleiman's contention that Egypt was "not ready for democracy" was a better tone for the administration to take. Suleiman is part of the problem. He may be a necessary part of the solution, too—but if that, for as short a time as possible.
God forbid the Naval Postgraduate School professor of national security affairs Robert Springborg is correct in the predictions he made in a recent piece for Foreign Policy magazine:
"The Obama administration, having already thrown its weight behind the military, if not Mubarak personally, thereby facilitating the outcome just described, can be expected to redouble its already bad gamble. Fearing once again that the regime might be toppled, it will lean on the Europeans, the Saudis, and others to come to Egypt's aid. The final nail will be driven into the coffin of the failed democratic transition in Egypt. It will be back to business as usual with a repressive, U.S.-backed military regime, only now the opposition will be much more radical and probably yet more Islamist."
Yes, Egypt has been an ally for a long time. We have supported repressive dictatorships in the Middle East for a long time. Ugly compromises have been made for understandable reasons. But the longer Obama vocally supports the existing power structure in Egypt, the worse he looks, the worse the U.S. looks, in the eyes of the protesters. The protesters are in the right. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" would be disastrous in this instance. It's time for a more assertive display that we understand that.

Latics trial Bakari
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Wigan Athletic boss Paul Jewell has handed a trial to Lens striker Dagui Bakari.Wigan Athletic boss Paul Jewell has handed a trial to Lens striker Dagui Bakari.
The Ivory Coast international appeared in Wigan's 1-1 draw with Conference club Accrington Stanley, as the hit-man looks to make a move to The Premiership.
The 30-year-old was a former target of Tottenham Hotspur and has also attracted the interest of Ligue 1 new boys Nancy.
With less than week left before the start of the new Premiership season, it remains to be seen if Bakari can do enough to win a contract with The Latics.
Wigan embark on their first-ever campaign in England's top flight with a home clash against champions Chelsea on Sunday, August 14.

NO, and how about your's ? people surround me got extensively affected.
they got many apple products and since jobs knew he would die soon. apple had launched their new products much quicker. i dont like ipad. useless to me
Who is Steve Jobs? What does he do?
Sorry, I have no attitude, I am simply curious about who he is. Never mind, I'll google it... I know now. Flag my posts here irrelvent if the mods want to.
Yes he has changed our lives. While people are getting together, instead of talking, nowadays we spend much time on smart phone chatting or playing games. No one can deny his contribution to pushing technology thus far. Giving him alone the credits is what brings too much complaints.
Btw, I like to communion between the boy and the man. This is what is like between God and His son, they talk the same language and never contradict themselves. They support each other in good time and worse time
Mmmm, gooey from Xerox. Lost forevar.
Trolls gonna troll.
@Bi-Priest, you never fail to say something contrary to either me or DD, no matter how ridiculous it might be, and that's why we like you. You're so cute like that and I just wanna pinch your cheeks like sooo~
But Steve Jobs didn't invent the Internet, or smart phones, or mobile games. His company marketed novel ways of packaging these things into one tiny box. That's cool and clever but it's far from revolutionary, as the technology for doing all of these things has existed for ten years yet was, until recently, prohibitively expensive. Giving Steve Jobs credit for all that shit is like giving America credit for saving the world from the Axis powers during World War II.
In fact, the reason pre-iOS cellphone operating systems "sucked," as @Re-Pete said, is because every hardware manufacturer was using their own proprietary firmware so as to "lock out" applications from competing . They were built to be incompatible with everything else! It was a shitty business model, to say the least. Apple deserves credit for finally making a cell phone UI that almost had the functionality of a small computer, and for gaining enough of a market share quickly enough to force competitors to follow suit. Yet, it's still proprietary, so you have to jailbreak the iOS and replace it with a hacked version in order to even get all of the functionality from the device (which, though easily reversed, voids the warranty and makes the baby jesus cry).
Also, kudos to Apple for that novel scroll wheel on 1st gen iPods. Other than that, it's just a portable hard drive with audio output, you fucking sheeple.
A fucking big YES!! He showed us with his death that alternative therapies can not treat a pancreatic cancer.... This was his last gift to us: Remember kids don´t give a shit to alternative medicine
I dunno man, I think it's glue. But hey hey hey hey, inhale toxic substances every day.
My mind was open to that possibility, a little too open for my comfort. That'll be the last time I take a whiff of anything that Sasha says she acquired by wildly pantomiming head-enlarging gestures at shopkeeps.
Let me change the motto: Steve Jobs showed us that God doesn't give second chances.
Reply from Simen Wangberg is flagged as not relevant.
"And the placebo effect you talk about is an important characteristic of the western medicine too."
Wait. What? No. The whole point of putting drugs through double-blind clinical trials is to eliminate the possibility that a drug's benefits are merely psychologically or culturally suggested. On the contrary, holistic medicine--being, well, concerned with the whole person rather than driving a clear distinction between mind and body--is largely dependent on the subject's suggestibility.
When empirically proven herbal remedies do pass double-blind clinical trials, chemists attempt to isolate and synthesize the chemicals they think are responsible; they've been doing this for a very long time, and you'll find that most of the drugs that we now consider "artificial" and "synthetic" are actually copied or at least derived from naturally-occurring molecules. Sometimes commodifying an herb as a drug is impossible; cannabis, for instance, has hundreds of different cannabinoids whose effects are still not clearly understood. This is why marinol tablets do not work, and medical marijuana users still smoke joints or use vaporizers.
There's a lot that's just totally fucking wrong about Western medicine, largely because, to the shareholders of major pharmaceutical companies, treatments are more profitable than cures. But I dislike this dichotomy between Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine or other types of holism. There's effective medicine and there's ineffective medicine. Sometimes herbal remedies really are more suitable, but most of the time Traditional Chinese Medicine is just a lot of bullshit that might help you if your lucky, and at least is extremely unlikely to kill you if taken incorrectly.
Because Chinese doctors are butchers who over-prescribe everything because they're too lazy and under-equipped to run proper diagnostics. And China so many people.
tl;dr, Your brain just doesn't give much of a shit whether your ephedrine came from directly from a plant or was synthesized in a lab.

Oh dear.
So earlier I made that post about Tabitha Soren, and I said she was my first "legitimate" celebrity crush. That got me thinking – if Tabitha Soren was my first legit crush, who was my first "illegitimate" crush?
Honestly, it didn't take me that long to figure it out: Irene Lew, the love interest of the blue ninja dude in the Ninja Gaiden video game for the NES (she's illegitimate because she's made of pixels).
I must say – it's kind of ridiculous how much she looks like Tabitha Soren.
Hmm…. no one would treat Tabitha Soren like that though.

One of the problems parents encounter when dropping their kids off at school is the obligatory wave. You know, a familiar Sienna or Odyssey minivan drives by, and you wave. Trouble is, there are dozens of Siennasseys in the lot, so you have to wave at each one just to be sure. This country's grade-school parking lots are crying out for something different-and Toyota's got a dandy new candidate in the 2008 Highlander."But Highlanders are too small," weary new parents out there yawn. Well, not anymore, Mister and Missus Carpool. It's 3.8 inches longer, 3.3 inches wider, and 2.8 inches taller. It's bigger! Yes!Grown from the same structural seed that sprouted the Avalon and Camry, the roomier Highlander's interior is highlighted by an extractable (and stowable) center row that provides a unique kid corridor to the aft quarters (also more spacious and fitted almost universally across the lineup). The family-friendly theme continues with an adequate 3.5-inch rear-camera display on all but the base model, plus easy-reach levers that remotely fold down the second-row seats from the rear hatch.As with the Camry and Avalon, power for the traditional gasoline version is supplied by a 270-horse, 3.5-liter V-6 coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission. No surprise that acceleration is strong nor that the front-drive version's steering suffers momentary vertigo when you give it the stick from a stop. The Sport model's recalibrated steering software and stiffer springs don't cure this, but they nicely focus the handling of front and AWD models, with modest ride degradation.This isn't a problem with the hybrid version (which is just about all carryover hardware) because it's outfitted just one way-with AWD. Notably, it also offers identical output to the gas Highlander, 270 combined gas-and-electric horsepower, making for a particularly elementary mileage comparison: According to the EPA's all-new, real-world 2008 mileage metric, the hybrid has a 37-percent economy advantage. It also offers an EV-mode button that theoretically instructs (though rarely allows) it to traverse up to three miles at 25 mph without firing the engine. More effective is the "Econ" mode that intelligently smoothes power changes if it deems the driver's accelerator foot is just being fidgety.So move over, you other grade-school haulers, there's going to be a bright new face you'll need to wave at. 2008 Toyota Highlander Base price $27,300-$34,150 Vehicle layout Front engine, FWD or AWD, 5- or 7-pass, 4-door SUV Engines 3.5L/270-hp/248-lb-ft DOHC 24-valve V-6; 3.3L/209-hp/212-lb-ft V-6 plus 167-hp/247-lb-ft front and 68-hp/96-lb-ft rear electric motors, 270-hp combined Transmissions 5-speed auto; cont variable auto Curb weight 4000-4650 lb (mfr) Wheelbase 109.8 in Length x width x height 188.4 x 75.2 x 68.1 in 0-60 mph 7.0-7.7 sec (MT est) EPA city/hwy fuel econ 17-27/23-25 mpg* (est) CO2 emissions 0.75-1.02 lb/mile (est) On sale in U.S. July 2007; October 2007 (hybrid) *2008 EPA test standards Share this article Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Newcomers: 2008 Toyota Highlander /6 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 6 2 | 6 3 | 6 4 | 6 5 | 6 6 | 6

where GPS isn't available. Global positioning system is available in most
parts of the globe but still some places are out of its reach. This software
relies on GPS for location tracking but it switches to cell tower configuration
when it can't connect to GPS. In this way, the software provides the best
results. It never fails in giving correct results.
The software can help in many things in addition to location tracking. For
instance, it can help in assigning jobs and also in getting the jobs completed.
Employee gps tracking software location is like a business tool that can
strengthen your client service process and also improve output of your staff
members. When you can track your employees, you can easily handpick the
employees for client service. You can see who of the team members are
closest to clients and assign them tasks.
For assigning tasks, you only need clicking on the employees on the
software. Open a communication window and enter the job details along
with client location and send it to the employee. He will see the details and
the software will show the client location on a physical map. In this way, the
employee will comprehend the job and the location of client in a hassle free
Ask the employees to update their work details on the gps employee
location tracking software so that you can determine their availability in
addition to seeing their location. It will also help in determining output of the
employees. You can see how many tasks they are completing in a day and
how much time they are devoting on individual tasks. This way, you can also
free your employees from making timesheets as the online data on jobs will
work as timesheets.
The biggest help the software can provide is in calculating service charges.
The software can make error free calculation and also add over payments. It
can record payments to determine which client has overdue payments. Enter
your services charges and taxes in the software to create online bills. The
bills can be used like regular invoices as clients can sign the bills. Another
advantage of the software is that the employees can use it for marking
Employee gps tracking software is available at a cost effective price that
is INR 149 per employee/per month. It has no free version and nor is it
available for free trial. If you need it, you can buy it. INR 149 is a meager
sum in comparison to the advantages the software has to offer. It can bring
speed and transparency to your client service.

'Criminal Minds' Star Thomas Gibson Teases Possible Finale Death — EXCLUSIVE
Criminal Minds fans might need to see a psychiatrist as they head into the Season 7 finale. The cast's fate is completely up in the air. The finale teaser trailer has focused on the fact that one of the team will be "gone" by the end of the two-parter – the episodes are titled "Hit" and "Run" respectively. Couple that with the definite fact that star Paget Brewster is leaving the show (possibly in a body bag?) to pursue other options. Are the two related? Not so fast. Hollywood.com recently spoke with Criminal Minds main man Thomas Gibson, who plays Aaron Hotcher, and he was sure to give fans something to think about for the finale, including a random wedding and possible death. Could two cast members be leaving? The answer is just one of five big reasons to tune in for the finale.
Emily Prentiss Gone Forever?
All the talk leading into the finale has been that Brewster will have the option of coming back to the show for cameos next season. But Gibson asks that we prepare ourselves for the unexpected. "We love Paget and there's definitely going to be a huge hole once she's gone," he says. "It's too bad. but this is what happens, people move on and do their own thing."
But can we assume she won't die? Gibson isn't so sure: "I wouldn't anticipate anything really. Just let this thing unfold and see if you were right at the end." This could be one of the biggest hoaxes in TV history if the cast agreed to keep saying, "Sure, Paget can come back next year," all the while knowing she'd be killed in the finale. And according to Gibson, that's not impossible.
A Teammate in Chains
"Well, you'll have to watch but not unlike what would really happen, we try to send somebody in," says Gibson. "You try to do as many things as you can, you try to appeal to the rational side of people holding the hostages, but that doesn't work in this case."
So, one of the team goes in and Gibson says it's not him, but that leaves everyone else and with a show like this, it could be anyone. The show saw two people leave the team last year, why not this year as well? "I can definitely say there's going to be some surprises along the way," Gibson says. Cryptic much?
There Will Be Blood
"You think you know what you're dealing with as far as [just] a robbery in progress goes," says Gibson, adding that in Criminal Minds' usual patented method, the robbery team, including kick-ass guest star Tricia Helfer (dressed like face cards in a deck), of course kills one person at each stop. "When we discover they are more than bank robbers, that's when our expertise kicks in," the actor says.
What's All This About a Wedding?
Criminal Minds may be the strangest setting for a network TV wedding, but Gibson says one is on the way: "I would say that anybody guessing who is going to end up at the altar at the end of the second part is going to be surprised if you had asked them halfway through who it's going to be." Well, that eliminates the obvious choice: JJ and Will. So who could it be? (And this had better be good.) "It's nice because it's a slightly different ending than we normally have," teases the 49-year-old. But how different? Different like a wedding between murderous bank robbers?
Gibson Ditches The Suit
What's the real scoop about this explosive finale? "I'm not in a suit," Gibson laughs. Death looms all around like a black cat in an old folks home, and Gibson still has jokes. It's nice to see all his comedy training from his Dharma & Greg days hasn't been brutally ripped out of him by some clown killer.
The Season 7 finale of Criminal Minds airs 9 PM (ET/PT) May 16 on CBS. #GoodbyePrentiss.

Just a quick share today because I've been MASS-PRODUCING! If ya'll know me, then you know that my kids are the most important things to me in pretty much the entire universe. (I think I just sounded like Sponge-Bob there..) I love to do things special for them so they know how much I love them and think it's even more fun when we can do something to show friends we care too!
Today's treats were made for Maci Ellen's first grade class and Emily's friends at school. Emily is a Senior this year and I just have to say that I'm trying to bribe her with candy to stay home next year instead of shipping off to college.
Okay, enough of my bragging! The top picture is of some treats put together using the Skinny Bags that you all so graciously shared with me! I love a deal and buying them as a group saved us all a little bit! These are the treats Emily is taking to the high school. We filled them with chocolate-covered raisins and tied a cute little tag at the top. We punched a Scallop Circle from Rich Razzleberry Card Stock, a 1-3/8 circle from Old Olive Card Stock and a 1-1/4" circle from Daffodil Delight Card Stock. The Daffodil Delight circle was stamped with the spider web from the Wicked Cool stamp set in Basic Gray ink. Then we stamped the sentiment from the same set in Black Staz On ink right over it. All three of the layers were glued together. The little pumpkin from the Fang-tastic stamp set was stamped in Black Staz On and cut out from a scrap of Pumpkin Pie Card Stock and attached with a dimensional. We punched a hole in the top and tied it to the skinny bag with a piece of twine. LOVE!
Maci Ellen is taking these cute treat boxes made just like the ones from the Twelve Weeks of Christmas – Week 6. I cased it from SOMEBODY - if you know who, do tell!
Are they not just too cute? Maci Ellen MIGHT have overdone it with the bats but she was just SO HAPPY sticking them on there. Which makes me happy too.
Check out the chocolate….
I hope you have a great weekend and find a chance to share and eat chocolate. :)

Hi, back again, as the memtest came up with nothing.
At this point I have put a new Windows on (again), and I have the idea it might be the power supply.
All the shutdowns I had at this point happenend when I had my laptop plugged in. I haven't used it much on battery, but it haven't had a shutdown yet.
I have been getting less shutdowns to begin with since I uninstalled Daemon Tools (or any other mounting tool). These mounting software created a virtual drive which apparenlty caused more shutdowns (that's what I'm thinking anyway).
So I'll be testing on battery for a bit, if that doesn't work I'll send it back to Acer.
Thanks for putting up with me anyway, and hopefully this will be my last post..

Hi again,
I figured out what the problem was, or at least how to stop the shutdowns. I searched a bit more on the internet and finally found a post which explained how to stop getting the event id 37 warnings(The speed of processor # in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for x seconds since the last report.)
To stop these errors someone recommended going in to the bios and disabling c-states. Ever since I haven't had any problems (apart from the laptop being slightly louder). I did have to unlock my bios, but seems worth it.
Anyway thanks for putting up with me, and hope this info will help others as well.

hello everyone,
so many of you know that lines evolved from the old monome forum, which had been active for almost as long as monome has existed (we switched forum software once early on.) there is quite a lot of information there-- some good, some relevant, but also a lot of noise, and worst of all some information that is no longer valid and misleading.
i know some of you have strong feelings about the fate of this archived forum. currently i'm paying several hundred $ per year simply to have this old web server stay as-is, and this is an expense i'd like to get rid of.
so-- i'm looking for suggestions on how to archive (properly) this site and move it somewhere very inexpensive, or preferably, free. at the moment it's basically a huge stack of text. there is nothing app-like about it.
the old forum runs on vanilla forum. the search is absolute shit. i'm not sure if simply moving the software completely to a new server, or installing a new vanilla system with the backed up mysql data, or doing some sort of page-by-page spider export to html...
i'm in need of volunteers that know about this stuff! so i can stay focussed on building these new fun music toys...
Yes, drop them, no worries.Or print each thread out onto papyrus, put it in a glass case, hide them in a pyramid somewhere in Egypt, with all kinds of booby traps only searchable by some kind of archeologist/prince-of-persia like dude who is knowledgable about idols and skilled at using a whip, who will someday crack the glass case, only to discover they are nothing but rants by some grouch named raja and esoteric ponderings of a community of artists who, long ago, used to push these things called 'buttons' on this thing called a 'grid'(which by that time in the future, will be foreign to humans as they will have evolved beyond such interfaces built around static-topographies, and will be using some kind of interdimensionally-morphing interface to push qubits across the entire space-time continuum, sometimes to express themselves, sometimes to control the universe, and most of the time, just for shitz and gigglez because they can...).... wait, what was i saying?oh ya, export to html would be good, but whatever you decide is probably fine, as those forums don't seem necessary(? am i wrong? ...i'm not visiting them often anyways... and most of the info. i need seems right there on the 'docs' link viewable on monome.org proper)... so i wouldn't cry if you got rid of them altogether...
but in case it helps... and just for reminiscence(to those of us who've been around that long and used max/msp back in the day(90s)), here's something from the old school days of the cycling74 'mailing list' from before forums existed:http://max-archive.bek.no/(anyone here remember Netochka Nezvanova? such a great article on her btw: http://www.salon.com/2002/03/01/netochka/ahhhhh, the 90s and early 2000s, haha, back when internet-trolling was not quite coined and the dissenting-anomalous-freaks were truly dangerous)
anyways, just an example of how things could be archived if you wanted to go that route.(but don't keep paying hundreds to keep that shit, we'll support whatever your decision is )Cheers
i personally find the archive useful. i recently dug up some old code that was really helpful.. i use google to search (if i try to find these things on lines i get nothing)
just for example i was trying to figure out how /map commands work, but there's literally no info about that here on lines, it's all on the monome forum.
i agree it's not worth paying hundreds a year for, but it would be great if we could find an alternative or something like you suggest.
short of a kind benefactor mirroring it as-is and paying those bills, what about moving it to GitHub? GH also has wiki functionality if necessary, though that would require more conversion work. or moving to a cheaper, static-html hosting site, disabling the server-side search/db entirely.
is the old forum currently on archive.org? that's a less friendly UI to wade through, but at least it would more or less contain its last-used state.
Something like this should work for conversion to static HTML
Then gh-pages for hosting and google custom search for search.
so cool, thank youI've found the old forum very helpful also, it's clear there is mucho knowledge here on linesperhaps I'll start a new thread
I shot a note to a friend who works at the Internet Archive (aka archive.org), and he said if it's of interest: "The (associated but not officially connected) volunteer Archive Team can do this in short order... and it will end up in the Archive."
Lemme know if this is of interest.
I don't know anything about the technicalities but I see the elektronauts forum moved to discourse and managed to move all the conversations from their old forum over too. Was that ever a possibility for lines? Too complicated or expensive?
+1 for archive.org
Though maybe adding a banner to the thread pages indicating that the information is probably outdated before archiving them is a good idea too?
even though there's a lot of valuable infos and knowledge there, sometimes i think 'hey do it like Orpheus was told to : move on and don't look back'
archive.org should be of interest regardless of whether we also pursue other means of making an archive. It's good to have an archive of the web as time progresses. I just wish their methods were better at capturing binary files (images, sound files, .zips, etc)
is there any way to preserve all the file links that would potentially be broken (files hosted on archive.monome.org)?
My reply above would do it:
I'll inquire about this (and also note @jasonw22's reply).
imho, the archive is valuablein my limited (in)experience with the Academy, terminology matters/ 'that's not philosophy, that's sociology, no anthropology, no art history, or art, or music...perhaps there is a way to describe the 'monome archives in such a way as to make them desired by an institution of higher learning- like `'self-help graphics at ucla http://www.create.ucsb.edu?
I haven't had time to run a wget yet. Running it is no big deal, but checking that it got everything is a little more time consuming. But I posted instructions above if anybody wants to give it a try.
cool, I'm thinking it's actually valuable to a UC, Yale, NYU or somewherethey have archives, and monome may only be looking for a few terabytes plus, it really is a part of the academic computer music scene
github pages is a very easy and free way to host static html. Just need to grab it all (including any linked binaries and images) and do some spot checking to make sure it worked first.
It won't be anywhere near "terabytes". Much smaller.
Did you ever hear anything from archive.org?
just checked, looks to be around 5GB.
would be so grateful is someone checked this out and took it on. otherwise i'll get to it this winter.

It seems my boss found a little issue on our FC7 system dealing with /dev/.udev/failed and seems there is a file or something which is linked back to itself and causes an endless loop. Anyone know what this is? How to fix it? or anything?
Thanks for the help
try reinstalling udev:
yum install udev
All I get in the end with that is "nothing to do"
yum remove udev and then yum install udev
well its got about 270 files to remove before I re-install it...but anyway, in case it helps diagnose the problem my boss tries to access th server from his XP machine using DOS and when he enters "dir *.* /s /-p" is when a whole tone of stuff comes up on the screen and just loops supper fast and doesnt stop until he presses ctrl+ c.
We thought that maybe its nothing and its only acting up because hes doing it through DOS but we figured it was atleast looking into.
Thanks again for all the help
do that with --nodeps (or is it --no-deps?) check man page of yum.
Anyway good luck
Well I removed udev before Agrouf made his recomendation. I am getting errors now when I boot up. I get the screen where it counts down the seconds then I get a black screen that says...
Booting 'Fedora Core (126.96.36.199-72.fc6)'
root (hd0,0)
filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Kernel /vmlinuz-22.214.171.124-72.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...
Any thoughts?
Should I just run the rescue from my CD? If so will rescue keep all my data, programs, settings, and any changes I have made to the system?
Did you reinstall udev?
you can use the boot CD to reinstall stuff from yum.
Yes I ran..
yum remove udev
yum install udev
after that it should just start up perfectly shouldn't it? should I remove and reinstall again or should I just do a recovery?

New Delhi, Jan 25: President Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday addressed the nation on the eve of the 66th Republic Day, saying while 2014 was a significant year, 2015 is a year of hope. [Read President Pranab Mukherjee's full Republic Day speech]
President Mukherjee, who was addressing his second Republic Day speech, praised the people of India for the results of last year's Lok Sabha election, saying the people elected a single party after three decades for a stable government which is free from the compulsion of coalition politics. [Follow updates of the visit of US President Barack Obama, the chief guest at the 66th Republic Day]
It may be mentioned here that the president had expressed apprehension about coalition politics dominating India in his Republic Day speech made last year, three months ahead of the general polls.
Mukherjee appealed to the people to vote for a "clean, efficient, gender-sensitive, transparent & citizen-friendly governance". He said: "The outcome of elections has given mandate to elected government to fulfill commitment to people."
The president stressed that the nation's interest is to raise the quality of life of Indians by a big extent and also focussed the issue of women's security during his speech. "Only a nation that respects & empowers its women can become a global power," he said.
Mukherjee rued that Mother India is not respected by her own children when it comes to women's safety.
The septuagenarian leader remembered Mahatma Gandhi during his speech. Quoting the latter, he said religion is a force for unity and could not be allowed to be a reason for conflict.

Trike shopping
Are there any tadpole trike owners in Calgary, AB on here ?
I'm looking to buy one and I wanna take one for a test ride, the closest dealer i can find is closed currently till November 5th and the one in Edmonton is down to 2 trikes for the winter months, not worth my effort to get out there.
I don't know of any other dealers in the area.
Right now its a tossup
The adjustable seat and single tire size is attractive on the trail, but the expeditions larger wheel will allow higher cruising speeds.
I would love to test ride and expedition if anyone has one.
When I bought my TerraTrike it came with 3 20" wheels. I upgrade to the 26" rear for the main reason to get the RD and chain further up out of the dirt and a safer location. Check out how low the RD is to the ground in higher gears. It also allows pretty much "conventional" gearing. Last for no logical reason, I think the larger rear wheel just make trikes look better.
* Keeps rear derailleur further from the ground. This is the biggest selling point of big wheels.
* Has higher gearing (although you can use a Capreo hub and cassette on smaller wheel to get this as well). Getting lower gearing is often more important than getting higher gearing.
* Larger tires (of same material and pressure) have a little less rolling resistance. Both sizes have a decent selection of tires. - Given that there are two 20" wheels anyway, I'd call this a wash.
* I will neither confirm nor deny Rydabent's last point that it looks better.
cplager +1
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me the small rear wheel makes trikes look toy like. The up side is the fact you only need one size tire and tube.
I have ridden a Catrike Road for the better part of the last year. I have not one single time come across any situation where the smaller diameter wheel in the back caused the derailleur to come in contact with anything. I have ridden "off road" in pullouts smooth enough (and that is truly the key) for me to ride. The bottom clearance of the chain pulley (curb height) is about the same under normal conditions, so if it won't hit.... I could see where riding in mud or something that would rut could cause this to happen and it certainly has to posters here, I am just saying that for 100% of the miles I have ridden it has not been an issue one single time.
I have noted that my average speed is lower, but the smaller gear inches as a result is a benefit for my condition/situation. The additional convenience of having only one size tire and tube all the way around is nice as well.
Wanted to add, the two models you are linking there are about as different from one another as they could be in a lot of ways. The trail (as I see it) is designed more for running around the park day, where the Expedition is a get out of the road and travel trike. There is a lot of middle ground there to be looking into as well. I would consider the (older) Road model to be more comparable to the Expedition in most respects other than the rear wheel. Might look into the ICE, or if you have the pockets a Greenspeed.
I've settled on the 2013 Trail. The expedition is nice and all but I get all the features they've packed into the trail, and with the extenders I can have a big wheel too. Example
I went from a 20" rear to a 700x35c, a major difference it was to me.
The 20", the rear bottom roller and chain hit many sidewalk edges when I would have to drop off or climb up on to go around pedestrians.
The tires were 20x1.5's and the lower roller's bottom edge was at the top of the rim in the gears I seemed to use most often making it about 2 inches off the ground, less when the tire deformed on an impact. It filled up with wet grass every time, stopping to pick it out was a pain.
The larger tire, the above issues were gone and it rolled so much better, small side walk cracks and side walk drop offs had so much LESS of an effect. The larger diameter helped keep the tire out of smaller holes and minimized the impact of small drop offs and bumps.
Gearing and speed, a very obvious difference. I could spin higher gear inches and acceleration was very much improved.
The better acceleration was IMO due to far less rolling resistance of the larger wheel.
Just my observed differences.
I must include the 20" rear was on the EZ-1 sx with my 20" front wheel mod, and the 700 rear was on the Sun Made Tour Easy SE
Both bikes had the same cassettes and chainrings as in number of teeth on the large chainring.
I could spin out all but the top gear on the EZ-1 and maintain for a given time
I could not spin out the top three gears on the Tour Easy due to the much greater upper gear Inches of the Tour Easy.
But I was spinning a taller gear inch than the top one on the EZ-1..
The EZ-1 top gear Inch was 83"
The Tour Easy tallest was 127"
The Expedition WILL be my choice and I will have one as soon as I can save up the coin to pay cash for one.
maybe next year XD
A quote from the Terra Trike site about 26" wheel upgrades:
One of our most popular trike upgrades, adding a 26" rear wheel to your trike gives you plenty of advantages, and looks pretty cool too! The larger wheel allows for greater maximum speeds (by increasing the gear inches) and faster acceleration. It also makes for a smoother ride, eliminating some of the road noise felt on rough bike paths or gravel roads. The 26" rear wheel works best for those who ride mostly bike baths or roads with a moderate amount of hill climbing.
For use on the Tour II, this upgrade requires a Dropout Extension. See our Recommended Products area below to order.

As a writing and subject peer tutor at Lawrence University, I developed real friendships with the students I tutored. Often, they felt comfortable coming back to me throughout all stages of the writing process from idea generation to outlining to final edits. My most important strategy to create this relationship was to be a friend and not a lecturer. I never wanted the students I tutored to feel helpless because I had "figured out" academic writing. The service I offer is to be an active listener and a guide.
I'm a firm believer in the idea that students will remember more of what they learn if they play an active role in that learning. I will never sit in silence with a student, marking up their assignments myself as if only I hold the secret to great paragraph construction. If we talk through the logical steps of editing (or anything else for that matter), we can always figure out why something has to be the way it is.
I thoroughly enjoy seeing the spark of understanding on a student's face, which is why I spent so much of the past six years working with students, refining my techniques, and gaining expertise in more and more subjects and tutoring situations.

I don't think I have had a tutor as professional, encouraging, and knowledgeable as Maggie (Magdalena). Each session I have had with her were always very enjoyable and helpful. I never felt as if even a second was wasted. Maggie helped me with outlining powerful and interesting essays, making my essays more focused and concise, and overall helped me obtain even higher results than I expected. With each draft, I could definitely see myself improving and gaining more confidence. It was such a joy having Maggie as my tutor and I highly, highly recommend her!
Magdalena assisted in translating a few lines of a best man speech I plan to deliver partly in Polish. With Magdalena's tutoring I'm confident that I will be able to say the Polish lines correctly and have something creative for a majority Polish (and minority American) wedding.
Maggie and I have just had our last Polish lesson after two years of (nearly!) weekly lessons. She has taught me from scratch with a patience bordering on saintly, has never been late for a lesson despite always coming to meet me near where I live, and has always taken additional time out of her own day following lessons to send me follow up homework and sentences. Aside from the enjoyment of learning a new language, I'll simply miss the hour of fun we always had together. Thank you so much Maggie, and we'll definitely stay in touch over the years.
Magdalena has the right approach to encourage my 13 year old to not feel confident she will do well in the exam rather than intimidated by it.
thanks Magdalena.
Magdalena was patient and capable to work with me, as i worked to hold conversation. I appreciate the back & forth opportunity to chat, then to listen, and to keep the pace going at a level I can strive to manage, yet not overwhelm me. So far, very good!
Highly recommended. I really appreciate the time she takes to see where I am at and which issues are my problem areas.
Magdalena is a native Polish speaker. She was born in Poland but moved here at a young age so speaks both English and Polish perfectly. She is an excellent teacher. I am a complete beginner. She was very patient with me, as I have a hard time with some of the pronunciations. She offered a lot of help with some specific words and broke things down into manageable units so that I was able to learn to pronounce things correctly. I give Magdalena the highest recommendation.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I graduated college with a minor in Film Studies and have spent large amounts of time reading and writing about film. My specialties include contemporary American and Central European films (including Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic). In addition to taking classes, I have designed syllabi for film classes with small groups of students.
I am a native Polish speaker who was born in Krakow and moved to the United States when I was five years old. My parents continued speaking Polish with me at home, and even though I have spent many years in the United States, I can be a great conversation partner who can improve your understanding and pronunciation of Polish.
Being good at something doesn't necessarily make one qualified to teach it, but I am a really good and fast reader, and it helps that I love being around people reading or learning to read. My goal (after I finish my Master's degree in creative writing) is to work at a literacy center, where I can put over five years of tutoring experience to use. In 2010, I worked with an eight year old boy intensively for over six months. We mainly focused on reading and comprehension. I created assignments for him that included writing up reports and summaries of the stories, books, and articles he read in order to make sure that instead of just sounding out words, he was also remembering and understanding. We worked hard, but had time for games that improved his vocabulary such as Boggle and Scrabble.
Aside from being a creative writer (fiction), I have been tutoring students of all ages in writing since 2008, and most recently, I taught freshman composition and rhetoric courses at Miami University (Ohio). In these courses, I taught personal writing, rhetorical analysis, research skills, public speaking, and continuous reflection on the writing process. I guided students through outlining, drafting, revising, translating into different formats, and figuring out which processes are most beneficial to them for writing in their fields.


text: It seems that I am not going to get the way I work on my Palm TX directly onto my Desire. So I am looking into using Google Calendar and Google contacts via Gmail sync as a workable replacement. I will be leaving email off my Desire for the moment; I have a Gmail account setup. Looking at Google Calendar. Can I import all my Palm diary data to Google Calendar and then onto my Desire? This data consists of entries going back to 1997 plus Palm "Notes" attached to many entries plus future entries with waiting alarms (some several years away) plus annual Anniversaries e.g. birthdays(with "Note" of birth year), deathdays(with "Note" of death year), event anniversaries(with "Note" of event year). I don't know how big the file I want to bring forward will be but hope it will fit in the Desire's memory! I have Outlook 2007 to act as a conduit from my Palm; when I get them to sync!! Another story. Can I use the event description field, in Google Calendar, to act as a replacement for Palm Event "Notes"; is there a limit on the number of characters in the description field? I spend a fair amount of time away from any connection so I use the "Notes" section of my Palm to add details of events and sync to my Desktop when I get home. I assume that when I next am connected my Desire will update Google Calendar? As for Google Contacts I note the present amalgamation of firstname and surname; shame because I do sort by surname on my Palm Desktop and firstname on my old phone.

A handful of trailers, that have caught my attention, for forthcoming docs and bios. Most of these will be released directly to video and streaming services (some may even be out, by now) and might slip through the cracks in the season of the Hollywood blockbuster.
If you liked Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, Lost In La Mancha, and other such films about films and the trouble of getting them made, then Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey Of Richard Stanley's Island Of Dr Moreau should be right up your alley
For fans of the music behind the movie, Score: A Film Music Documentary
What about a musical culture clash, as the world's first, and probably only, female Japanese country music star, Tomi Fujiyama, attempts to return to the stage of The Grand Ole Opry, 50 years after her sole performance there.
Made in Japan Official Trailer HD from The Diamond Bros. on Vimeo.
Or in more traditional Japanese cultural stories, discover the painstaking process of producing high quality sake with, The Birth of Sake.
Any Fandau's out there? Soul Boys of the Western World follows Spandau Ballet from their more punk/wave roots, through the chart topping success of their ubiquitous ballad, True, to their disintegration and eventual rebirth.
I am so looking forward to B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin (1979-1989), about that influential punk scene and it's cultural setting. Curious to see what bands and personalities make the cut.
B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin (1979-1989) – Official Trailer from scenes from on Vimeo.
Cop or criminal? Maybe criminal cop.
How about a stylish biopic about outrageous fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent?
What better way to close out this season's documentaries than with the final film from a titan of the genre, Albert Maysles? Iris is the story of the 93 year old legend of style, Iris Apfel, still every bit as vibrant and relevant as ever. A fitting tribute for Maysles curtain call.

I have seen homeless people fake a limp in order to obtain money. They walk into the street all decrepit, and when they get out of the street, they walk fine. I have a homeless women with needle marks on her arms from drugs. So the only homeless people worthy of anything, are the genuine homeless people who don't use the money for drugs/alcohol. Also, the majority of the given items should be food and clothing.
I'm glad to see this asked. I would say yes, you should give to them, but be deathly careful of what you do. Money will only make it worse for some of them. They need care, and it's a very delicate matter. They need to learn to get and hold a job and how to improve themselves. If you can't encourage either, then you should give them nothing but small amounts of (non-resell-able) food. Remember, "give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life."
We should give to the homeless because I think they deserve love. It's true that there are a lot of scammers out there, pretending to be homeless, or using the money for drugs and alcohol. The Best thing to do is buy the homeless food or give them small amounts of money so they don't buy a lot of alcohol or drugs.
Those three things should be given to the homeless. NOT money. Many people go on the streets and pretend to be homeless, even though they are just faking it. We should not give them money. If we offer them food or clothes, obviously that is not what they want. But the real homeless people do want it, so it gives to the homeless and does not to the fakers.
All these homeless people in the world didn't choose to be homeless. They ended up like this due to fate. They didn't want to be homeless. They would've liked to lead a normal life like all these people with jobs and homes and food. It's our duty to help each-other out and make sure we help all the people in need as much as we can. Some people don't care about homeless people but that shouldn't mean that we ignore them too. We need to show a sense of care and humanity because if all people thought like this we can actually make a difference and if people become influenced by others and help more people, the world could become a better place.
Imagine yourself in their shoes... You're so desperate for money, food or warmth that you pretend to have a broken leg or are blind in one eye. Although giving them money may lead to them buying drugs or alcohol, there is an easy way of avoiding that by simply buying what they need for them. I don't think that if they have a mental disability or are an alcoholic is a good enough reason to not give money, get them help, they are human beings too. Being homeless is probably one hundred times harder than you think, if you try to legally sell something, people take one look at how you're unwashed and are wearing torn and dirty clothing and ignore you. Even when an honest street liver comes along they are generalised. To stereotype all homeless people as lying cheats is wrong. Not to mention how unexpected life is on the streets... People don't want to live on the streets, you don't choose a lifestyle on the streets the streets choose your lifestyle for you. It will introduce you to drugs, stealing and begging. And though I agree with none, its hard for them to live any other way. Us humans should help each other out, not turn a blind eye.
Homeless people tend to be homeless not by chance but by birthrite. What I mean by that is that many are somehow incapable of managing to function in society whether they be mentally ill, addled on drugs, or simply incapable of responsibility. While hard times to hit good men most of these men are not good and most of their "hard times" will return due to their inability.
If you want to solve homelessness you don't give to the homeless you actually address the whole cause of the homelessness.
1. Lets look at where the dollars go, they have to go somewhere. I believe that the better place to put your money is in a charity that has been researched and effectively distributes the cash for the same cause. The homeless on the street are able to take advantage of these programs only if we give to them. The homeless also have to want to take advantage of these programs. Also what about the homeless you do not see, women and children they usually do take advantage of these programs and are safer off the streets. Beer and wine to a alcoholic is not the best idea of charitable giving.

39:14 The Room
This is talking about a puzzle game about opening doors and boxes, which sounds lame but actually looks really appealing. The game "The Room" has nothing to do with the developer "The Chinese Room", although in one of our many nested tangents we manage to talk about exactly that…

We start off talking about the game, but then move onto the more important topic of "If each of us was turned into a videogame, what would it be?"
